I have to say that this a Fathers Day gift that is near & dear to my heart…a Dad`s Commuter Kit. My husband was a salesman on the road for many years and I worried about him every single day. I was always so happy when he arrived home at supper time…especially on days when winter roads were very dangerous. I created this kit with the travelling Dad in mind…those Dads that are on the road for work, whether it be long drives to customers or to the office.
I stuffed everything into a car organizer, but really any type of basket or plastic storage tote would work just as well.
Here is a list and picture of everything that I included in the kit for my husband.
Please note that this is not a roadside emergency kit. It’s more of a ‘care kit’ for someone who spends a lot of time on the road or in their car and might often need some small things like bug spray for a golf tournament for work, or a lint roller for a suit jacket.
They are thoughtful things that a nice to have on-hand.
Here is the tag that can be printed for your own commuter kit.

Years ago I made a snack stash for my husband. He sometimes ran out of food or thought he'd be home by lunch but wasn't. So I got a lunch bag and filled it with snack foods. He's used it a LOT.
I made a separate kit with medicine and first-aid stuff. I didn't include any flashlights or anything like that. That's a good idea. I'll have to add them.
I love this Father’s Day Gift idea. My hubby spends a lot of time on the road during the week working. I think that he would appreciate this thoughtful and useful gift. Pinning IT! ;o)
Thanks again Angie for a thoughtful, personalized idea for Father's Day. I like that with mom's help the kids could tailor it to suit their particular fella/Dad. 🙂
Very clever and useful!
This is a really thoughtful and great gift idea Angie! Love it! My hubby used to work 'on the road' a lot when we were first married – I know what you mean about the worry!!

This is amazing! What a great gift for a father that commutes in a large city.
You've done it again, dear Angie.

This is so freakin cute! SO creative, sweet, and super useful. Last year my husband cut his commute from 45 minutes each way to 7-so he doesn't need this. But boy oh boy he would have been all over it before that. I am pinning and sharing on my FB page too:)If you get a sec, I would love for you to link up at my party going on this weekend!
