Motorola sponsored this blog post. The opinions and text are all mine.

When Motorola asked me to write a blog post about their new phone, the DROID Turbo by Motorola in Gray Ballistic Nylon, I jumped at the chance.

It’s such a sophisticated yet practical gift idea for dads. It inspired me to write a post about PRACTICAL Father’s Day gift ideas for busy dads.

My husband is a busy guy. I’m sure your husband is, too! As fathers and husbands who work so hard to take care of their families, they wear many hats and keep going from morning to night juggling their roles at work and at home.

As our kids are getting a little older and we no longer have a tiny baby in the house, I joke with my husband that the difficulty of our roles is reversing. He’s having to attend more school and sports events than ever while I am getting more freedom every other year as a new child enters Kindergarten. 🙂

Now that our roles are somewhat transitioning, I am highly aware of how many directions he is being pulled in. For that reason I want this Father’s Day to be about making his life easier.

3 Practical Father’s Day Gift Ideas for On-the-Go Dads

I’m thinking along the lines of gifts that take some stress out of his life:

1. An Afternoon Off to Do His Favorite Thing – My husband likes spending time in our garage working on projects. Your husband might like hitting the golf course with friends or taking a nap. Whatever it is, give him an afternoon off (in addition to Father’s Day) to do whatever makes him happy and relaxed.
2. A New DROID Turbo – Choose the DROID Turbo in his favorite color option and simplify his digital life. See below for all the wonderful features you can expect in this cutting edge piece of technology! Most importantly, it has a 48-hour battery life, which means your husband won’t have to worry about having constant access to a phone charger! That’s an unnecessary stress on his day.
3. Snack Station Stocked with His Favorite Grab and Go Snacks – I know lots of people are so busy during the workday that proper meals are out of the question. I have started buying my husband his favorite snacks to keep in the pantry and at the office for those days when he’s too busy to eat breakfast before heading out the door or when he needs a snack because he’s working a bit late and it’s been forever since lunch. I’ve noticed my kids sneak these snacks when they think I don’t know about it, so I’m changing course and creating a snack basket for my husband to keep at work instead of our pantry. I bet your husband would like this, too!

Awesome DROID Turbo Features & Color Options

One of the things I love most about the new DROID Turbo line is the color options you can get now. They’re sleek yet have a metallic pop of color against the gray ballistic nylon (blue, orange, and violet). If I know my husband, there is only one choice here – the deep bright blue color!

If your husband loves being on the cutting edge of things, he’ll love the new DROID Turbo by Motorola. It has amazing specs wrapped into a package of cutting-edge materials that pushes the limits on what a smart phone can do.

Some of my favorite features in the new DROID Turbo:

• 48-hour battery that allows you to go two days without stopping to recharge
• Premium ballistic nylon, originally developed for military use, provides a durable, scratch-resistant, water-repellant design.
• Underneath woven materials, DROID Turbo by Motorola includes a layer of Kevlar, a material five times stronger than metal.
