Whether you’re a dad, grad or just someone who uses a backpack (almost all of us), how often have you worried about someone getting into your backpack with you knowing? I know I have worried, especially when I travel and I always have a backpack as a carry-on when I fly or even for road trips.Backpacks are great for carrying our stuff from our iPads to our laptops, water bottles and more. Whether in high school or university students generally also have a backpack so why not have one that has some cool features. Enter the Travel Fusion smartphone friendly anti theft backpack.
Many backpacks sacrifice usability for safety, but not the award-winning Travel Fusion Anti-Theft Backpack. It features a TSA-approved zipper lock, extendable steel coil to lock around posts and tamper-resistant zippers while still being fashionable, lightweight and offering 4 gallons of storage capacity. On top of that is an external USB and micro USB charging port so your phone or favorite gadget is never out of power.
I love that this anti theft backpack is also easily adjustable for the person wearing it. From my very petite daughter pictured above to her dad wearing it in the photo below.
- The FlexPack Pro’s scientifically engineered storage maximizes the backpack’s space and makes for ease of packing your electronics.
- The insulated pouch can also be used to store shoes, laundry, or an umbrella, keeping the rest of the FlexPack dry and clean.

- A durable rubber handle to ensure a premium feel while grabbing hold of your bag.

This anti theft backpack with its sleek design is also rugged enough to endure travels by car, plane, train or automobile. Hubby even took it camping as pictured above. While he wasn’t worried about anyone getting into the backpack while camping it’s nice to have such a versatile backpack.
In addition, when he went hiking with it he could easily keep his phone charged without having to dig into the bag to plug it in. A very handy feature to keep his hands-free and easy access to his phone while charging it. This makes it easy to pull out the smartphone to stop and take some photos of the amazing scenery no matter where you are.

Give the gift of peace of mind with a security camera

Whether the dad in your life has little kids, older kids, grads, fur kids or maybe his vintage car or new bike is his baby having a security camera can provide peace of mind. For my hubby and I with two dogs both of whom are rescues and fairly new to the family we like to check in on them on the rare occasions we have to leave them at home. Apollo and especially Cleo who just joined the family two months ago and is two year’s old she’s still adjusting and not always happy if we can’t take her with us.
Apollo happy as a clam on the beach on our recent trip with him and Cleo.When we recently took a road trip with Apollo and Cleo we stayed at a cabin and got to have all sorts of fun with them taking them to the beach where they could run to their hearts content. However, we brought the ALC Wireless’ HD security camera with full 180-degree, color viewing, night vision, motion detection and easy set up. We brought it for the few times we had to leave them in the cabins while we went swimming in the pool which as you can imagine doesn’t allow dogs.
This gave us the ability to check up on them and ensure they weren’t stressing out and because it links to the existing router and transmits both video and audio to our smartphone or tablet 24/7, we could “talk” to them if they appeared anxious. This was also perfect for us to check and make sure they weren’t barking and disturbing our surrounding cabin neighbors. It was simply fabulous and we will take it with us again, at home we use it for the same purpose, mainly to ensure they are not in distress because we are not home.
It brings us peace of mind to know that they do stop barking and whining not long after we leave, so yes our pups are as capable of giving us the guilt trip as our daughter was when she was younger. She used to scream and cry when we dropped her off at daycare, our daycare provider assured us she stopped no more than 5 minutes after we left. If only I had one of these cameras at the time I wouldn’t have felt so guilty back then.
Bonus it records to its own micro SD card, there’s no danger of footage leaking out and push notifications keep you on top of anything that happens. Best of all, you can stand it up on its own so there’s no need to put any holes in walls, and it’s fully wireless. Did I mention it also has 30’ of night vision and infrared filter for true daytime color provide excellent images day or night. A handy gift indeed for parents and anyone really whether it’s their first apartment, first dog/cat or last home. Peace of mind is always welcome. You can also get this camera on Amazon.
