A sleek portable charger for his laptop and phone
Gift the PowerCore+ 26800 PD 45W, $129.99
If he travels often, he's probably taking along all his tech - laptop (or two, if he has one for work and personal use), phone, e-reader, and more. All those gadgets have their own different set of chargers, which can be frustrating to keep track of and take up a lot of weight in his luggage too.
This can help him streamline and replace a few of the major chargers. It's a portable battery pack with enough power to charge a laptop and comes with a wall charger and USB-C to C cable so it can replace most, if not all, of his other cords and cables.
A smart home light starter kit

Matching underwear in a fun print
Gift a set of MeUndies Matching Underwear, price varies

Cookies that look like him

A protective spray that keeps his shoes shiny and new

Wireless earbuds with a 14-hour battery life
Gift the Jaybird Tarah Wireless Sport Headphones, $49.99
I wear these earphones all the time - at the gym, during my commute, in the office - because they sound great (you can customize the EQ through the app), never slip out of my ears, and have a long battery life. He'll want to do the same once he experiences their quality and convenience.
Leather sneakers made using less waste and energy

'Sleep' glasses to reduce eye fatigue

A framed photo
Gift the Minted Best Dad Ever Frame, from $94.50

Dress clothes that fit him perfectly
Gift a Spier & MacKay Gift Card, from $50
He can get custom-fit suits for surprisingly affordable prices from Canadian startup Spier & Mackay. Insider Picks reporter Amir Ismael calls it the best choice "if you're having a treat-yourself moment or you need a shirt for a special occasion" - Christmas is just the special occasion to fit the bill.
A 15-pound weighted blanket

A staycation
Book a unique online experience at Airbnb
A staycation is a good excuse to get away from the kids for the weekend and reset all while staying in your home. It'll help him appreciate a familiar place in a new light and he'll return to his day-to-day with renewed energy and vigor.
