6 Awesome Baby Gifts for New Dad
New daddy gifts are fun to shop for—and the best ones combine fun and function. Think of both the father and the infant when you shop; gifts that are man-friendly are more likely to be used and appreciated. A new dad gift can be something to help him tote or care for baby, or even a fun distraction for late night feeding times – use your imagination and keep his personality in mind as you shop.
New Dad Gift Ideas
Keurig B-70 B70 Platinum Single-Cup Home Brewing System
Whether he likes fancy coffee or just a plain brew, the magic of a Keurig is its simplicity. You simply pop a pod into the machine and wait for your finished cup—no measuring, pouring or fancy prep work involved. A quick jolt of caffeine will help him get moving in the morning after a late night with the new arrival.
GE Backlit Universal Remote Control
Not just any old remote, a universal remote with its own lighting system makes an ideal gift for new dad. Dad will appreciate being able to spot and use the remote for a nighttime feeding, without disturbing a sleepy infant. The universal aspect means he won’t have to dig through the couch to put on a movie or change the channel, and the room can stay dim, so the new arrival won’t be woken up by too many lights.
Chicco Smart Support Backpack Frame Carrier
A backpack baby carrier is one of those gifts for a new dad that can be used for years. From taking baby on a nature hike to going to an older child’s soccer game, a baby backpack allows a dad to keep his little one close by—but hands free. This is an ideal new dad baby gift for a father who is active and outdoorsy – or wants to be.
Grey Diaper Dude Bag
No guy wants to be seen hauling around a pink diaper bag covered in fluffy bunnies—but he will likely need a way to tote some diapering essentials. A masculine diaper bag is a useful gift idea for new dads; and it can be easily used by mom as well.
Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for Dads
There’s an instruction manual for everything—including babies! Pick up a handy guide to infant care, couched in terms a guy can relate to. You can give a man-friendly baby care book as a gift in itself, or add it to a selection of new father gifts.
Have a Ball Babysuits
These cute onesies are just begging to be shown off—and make an ideal gift for new dad (or grandpa) that is into sports. A cute sports outfit works for babies of either gender, and you don’t have to choose a specific sports team to root for.
