Welcoming a child in the world is a meaningful moment in any parent's life. And with Father's Day coming up (on June 16, to be exact), there's no better way to celebrate new papas than with a gift to commemorate their new journeys as dads. Stumped on what to get a first-time father? Turn to our guide on sentimental yet practical Father's Day gifts for new dads.
Instead of carrying a diaper bag around, you can gift him with a Dad Hoodie that can hold bottles, wipes, and other essentials for the baby. Since early days with his little one might leave him rest-free, a coffee and Stanley tumbler bundle will help him keep a cup of joe close for added energy. Customized books all about him and his growing family will be the icing on the cake to celebrate his first Father's Day.
