Top 5 Gifts for Dad on Father’s Day (Especially if He Loves to Travel)

Father’s Day in Canada is always celebrated on the third Sunday in June—this year it falls on Sunday, June 15, 2025. It’s a chance to celebrate the dads, stepdads, grandfathers, and father figures who’ve helped shape our lives.

But when it comes to finding the perfect Father’s Day gift, especially for the dad who’d rather be planning his next trip than mowing the lawn, it helps to think outside the box.

If you’re looking for meaningful and practical gifts for Dad on Father’s Day, here are five comfort-focused travel essentials he’s sure to love—whether he’s exploring the Rockies or relaxing on the deck.

1. A Hutterite Goose Down Inflatable Travel Pillow

For the dad who appreciates premium comfort, our Hutterite Goose Down Inflatable Travel Pillow is a luxurious step up from the usual neck pillow. Made in Canada and filled with ethically sourced down, this inflatable travel pillow delivers soft yet supportive comfort wherever he rests his head—on a plane, in a tent, or even in the backyard hammock. It rolls up small, inflates quickly, and says, “Dad, you deserve the good stuff.”

2. A Down-Alternative Vegan Microfibre Inflatable Pillow

Have an allergy-sensitive or vegan dad on your hands? This travel pillow offers the same Pillowpacker comfort—just without the down. The Down-Alternative Vegan Microfibre Inflatable Pillow is soft, breathable, and kind to both animals and travellers alike. It’s a thoughtful Father’s Day gift idea for the dad who wants performance and principles in one smart package.

3. Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Whether Dad’s on a red-eye flight or trying to relax at home, a quality pair of noise-cancelling headphones can create a pocket of peace. Look for wireless, over-ear models with long battery life and solid reviews. It’s the kind of gift that says, “Enjoy some quiet, you’ve earned it.”

4. A Portable Espresso Maker

For the coffee-loving dad, a compact espresso maker brings the joy of a fresh brew to the campsite, hotel room, or anywhere in between. There are several manual options out there—no electricity needed—so he can enjoy his favourite ritual wherever he goes.

5. A Good Book (and Maybe a Hammock Too)

Sometimes the best Father’s Day gifts are the simplest. A gripping novel or non-fiction book paired with a compact travel hammock makes for a great “do not disturb” kit. Bonus points if you include a hand-written note or a suggested reading list.

Still stumped for Father's Day gift ideas? Start with what brings your dad comfort. Whether it’s travel pillows designed for true rest or gadgets that make life on the go a little easier, these gifts show thoughtfulness without overcomplicating things.

This Father’s Day, skip the socks. Give Dad something he’ll actually use—and enjoy.
