New Dad Gift Ideas
A new mother isn't the only person deserving of gifts when a child is born; you can gear many gift ideas specifically toward the father that encourage and celebrate the exciting new challenge he is about to undertake.
-
Dad-Focused Diaper Bags
-
While many diaper bags have a decidedly feminine aesthetic, many manufacturers now offer toolbox-themed diapering kits that make a humorous gift.
Parenting Books
-
A survival guide for the baby's first few months or year, particularly if directed specifically at the father, can be an extremely appreciated token.
-
Personalized Picture Frame
-
New parents can never have enough photos. Having a frame engraved with their new baby's name, birthday or other details will provide a gift they will cherish for years.
"New Dad" Clothing
-
T-shirts, hats and other novelty clothing come in a variety of styles, including matching baby-daddy items. They make a great choice for proud new fathers.
Photo-Themed Gift Basket
-
A basket with a digital camera, frames, a gift certificate for photo printing and a spare memory card make a good group gift, as it will likely end up being expensive. But it can be highly appropriate if the new father isn't already an avid photographer.
Cigars
-
Carry on the new-dad tradition with celebratory cigars. Many manufacturers now offer personalized or baby-themed boxes. If the new dad doesn't smoke, opt for candy counterparts.
