14 Father’s Day Gifts for the First-Time Dad
After putting up with all the diaper changing, late-night feedings and crying, new dads really deserve just as much pampering as new moms. It can be frustrating for them to have to wait until their child is old enough to play ball… or even walk. So take this Father’s Day as the opportunity to give the perfect gift to those hard-working dads. And with everything from clothing to gadgets, these 14 gifts are sure to satisfy all those new dads out there.
1. Bespoke Gift Box Subscription ($45 per box): The best gifts are the ones that keep giving, like this subscription box that sends a manly themed gift once a month.
2. Tote Bag ($40): Don’t make dad carry around a floral diaper bag. Give him the option of a manly tote to stash all the necessities when he takes the babe out.
3. Hangover Preventative Cocktail Fortifier ($33): Because momma won’t be too happy if she has to get up early after being up all night feeding.
4. Tactical Dad Apron ($30): Whether it’s manning the grill or taking care of the wee one at home, this apron will definitely come in handy.
5. Classic Station ($30): Since life with a newborn can be a little hectic, help Dad stay (somewhat) organized with this tray for all his essentials.
6. Laces Out Knit Beverage Insulator ($10): Because what dad wouldn’t want a football-inspired knit koozy?
7. DIY Mustache Wax: Daddy shouldn’t have to shave his ‘stache just because of baby. Help him get kissably soft with this taming wax. (via Brit + Co)
8. Olloclip iPhone Lens ($80): You know he wants to blow up Instagram with all his new baby pics. So a lens that will capture all those special moments seems totally appropriate.
9. TV Series ($35): Make feeding time family time by gifting his favorite TV show for Father’s Day. Then you both can watch when it’s time for your bundle of joy to eat, sleep, poop and repeat.
10. Customized Leather Flask ($31): Sure, it could be his initials… or you could customize it with “DAD.”
11. Bandana ($6): No, we’re not suggesting you turn dad into a cowboy. But a bandana can be used as a stylish burp cloth.
12. Personalized Beer Glass ($19): Bonus points if you include a pack of his favorite beer with this gift.
13. DIY Coffee Maker: All those sleepless nights will require a lot of coffee. Make dad a unique copper coffee maker for quality coffee every day. (via Brit + Co)
14. Car Track T-Shirt ($22): So he might not really need this for a year or two, but when he does, it will be a lifesaver.
