There’s nothing more special than becoming a father for the first time (or the second or the third). Welcoming every new family member is a blessing and the new father deserves a happy Father’s Day gift to celebrate the new arrival. The new dad in your life will appreciate any effort you make to acknowledge his contributions to your growing family.
The following presents run the gamut in price and type of gift, but all provide some unique and cool options to give a new dad on Father’s Day. I have three children and have been through many Father’s Days. I can give you my own experience with some of these gifts along the way.
1. New Daddy’s Toolbox
You can put this gift together from either a tackle box or a tool box. Once you have the box, fill it with diapers, diaper cream, first aid supplies, bibs, baby wipes, and toys. You can also add humorous touches, such as a pair of goggles to protect from blowouts, or a clothespin or other nose closure to try to protect your significant other’s delicate schnoz. My husband got a kick out of the funny items I put into his toolbox and really appreciated the useful items.
2. Best Catch Fishing Lure Birth Announcement Key Ring
This key ring is in the shape of a fishing lure. It is silver in color and has a colored bucktail, pink for a girl and blue for a boy. Costing $34, this custom key ring includes your baby’s birth weight and height carved in the metal. Plus, the fishing lure reminds daddy that he can teach his baby to fish with him someday when his child has grown old enough to go out on the water with him.
I got this lovely fishing key ring for my husband for the birth of our first son. He still uses it, although it’s been quite a few years now and the tail has worn away after catching on things over the years. He could make another tail, but he really cares most about the silver body with the words on it.
3. "Be Nice to Me My Wife Is Pregnant" Shirt
This is a pretty straightforward new father shirt. Some dads-to-be get stressed out over what their wives undergo with the trials and tribulations of pregnancy. Although you might not feel like it, you could indulge your significant other by buying this shirt so he can feel sorrier for himself during the last months of your pregnancy.
This is more of a fun joke gift. I wouldn’t recommend it as the only gift you give your father-to-be. However, it’s pretty fun to give. I gave one to my husband when he was lamenting that I was always asleep by the time he got home after work when I was pregnant (because making a baby is hard work!). I bought him one of these shirts and left it on top of me as a blanket for him to find when I was about five months pregnant with our first.
