A first Father’s Day celebration is a special occasion, a big deal for the new parent that must not be missed.
The new dad will be very excited to celebrate this milestone, and he deserves to feel appreciated and cared for this Father’s Day. From helping change nappies to taking care of the mother throughout the pregnancy, he’s been there for it all and he deserves to be recognised for this.
Whether it is finding the best first Father’s Day gifts for him or pampering him with personalised gifts, there are many things you can do to make this day special.
We’ve compiled a list of the best daddy to be gifts or gifts for new dads that you can consider for your celebration.
Let’s take a look!
1. Personalised beer glasses
Cracking open a cold one is a luxury new dads may not get that often, especially with the adorable newborn taking over all their parents’ time. For those rare occasions that a dad does get the time, let him sit back and relax with his very own personalised beer glasses.
From the baby’s birthday engraved or their initials to perhaps even their entire name, you can personalise the beer glasses with whatever you prefer to make it sentimental. With this, every time the new dad cracks open a cold one, he can feel special and make the most of his free time.
2. A quirky graphic T-shirt
If the dad to be has a nerdy side to him, a graphic t-shirt would be one of the best Father’s Day gifts to him. With so many incredible t-shirts that have the best pop culture references, you can find the right design that the new father would love.
You can also find online stores or local boutiques that personalise them according to how you want and find the right reference or phrase to get it printed on the t-shirt. From something personal and sentimental to something funny like “Yoda Best Dad” there are many ideas you can choose from.
3. Funny coffee mugs
Let’s face it, as the father of a newborn, coffee might be one of your new best friends who’s always by your side. Having a newborn, while being one of the best things that has happened to you, does come with its own set of challenges. This becomes a little easier with a good cup of coffee.
Make this cup of coffee a great Father’s Day gift idea by personalising it with a funny message. Having a good laugh while doing the smallest of things is a very wholesome thing and by gifting him a funny coffee mug, the new dad can have a good laugh or perhaps even a smile while he sips on his coffee.
Phrases like “world’s best farter”, “You’re a fan-stache-tic dad!” or something along the lines can be the perfect idea for this gift.
4. A thoughtful photo book
Newborns grow up so suddenly that sometimes it feels like time is rushing past us. The best way to make sure you have all the important moments saved is to keep a photo book – this can be your first time Father’s gift that he’ll truly cherish.
All new parents are guilty of taking hundreds or thousands of pictures of their newborn and having a photo book can help you keep everything organised and well put together. While there are ways to save this online, the feel of a photo book in your hand is something else entirely.
5. A dad and child picture frame
As a couple welcoming their newborn, many often have a special photo shoot to commemorate this important life-changing event. As a thoughtful Father’s Day gift, you can frame one of these shots that the father has with the newborn.
However, if you want to make this slightly different, consider making it animated or change it up into a cool poster that the dad would absolutely love. He can then put it up wherever he wishes and get the biggest smile on his face every time he looks at it.
For a first time father, celebrating a milestone like Father’s Day is a very important occasion that needs to be marked. While these ideas may be simple, personalising them to make them special will be something that the new dad will really appreciate.
With these, the dad is sure to have a memorable and wholesome first Father’s Day.
