It’s that time of year when male human minds turn to spreading their wings and migrating to foreign climes; with their kids and wife, or girlfriend (but seldom both)...

By coincidence, it’s also Father’s Day, that time of year when kids reward their dads for all their love and devotion and for sending some relatively useful genes in their general direction. Now GettingPersonal.co.uk has the gift that combines the two, in one little package – the leather-bound travel journal.

The leather binding means this companion will withstand all the rigours of travel, with the possible exception of Terminal 5. Contained within its covers is the aforesaid journal which will be filled with notes and plans as the trip progresses, a pocket for access to a passport, credit cards, tickets, cheques and passes and sections for photographs and other keepsakes. The whole thing fits snugly into hand luggage pockets, and the front is gold embossed with a “Travel Journal” motif written in the trail of a jet plane.

And who knows – in the future this Father’s Day gift may end up being as significant to the world as Darwin’s journal or Kirk’s log.

Train, boat or plane... no matter the mode of transport our beautiful new Leather Travel Journal, at only £19.95 and measuring 110mm x 120mm, is the perfect gift for those off to explore distant lands.

Go on, make him smile with one of GettingPersonal.co.uk’s fantastic fathers day gifts ...
