25 Best New Dad Christmas Gifts
1. I personally can’t get enough t-shirts in my life. Especially with a baby in the house. It was like I had some kind of spit-up magnet. So, I highly recommend a series of t-shirt gifts for new dads, including this awesome promoted to dad t-shirt. Every new dad seriously needs about a new shirt every hour and this one will be a prized possession.
2. When we had our first kiddo, one of the best gifts I received was a kid’s book. I know, simple, but we didn’t have a lot of kid’s books in the house and I wanted to read to the baby. So, having this Daddy and Me book was one of the best gifts–and it’s super inexpensive!
3. Literally the one thing kids should come with, but they obviously don’t (because no one thinks of these things), every new dad desperately needs–a new baby owner’s manual. Yeah, you laugh, but there’s some great advice in this quick-read. And thank goodness it’s a quick-read because the breaks new dads get to read are few and far between.
4. So funny (oh, so funny) but also, all sorts of necessary, this new daddy diaper duty toolkit is everything a new dad needs for even the worst diaper blowouts. A seriously handy toolkit, but that everyone will get a kick out of. One of the best new dad Christmas gifts that will put a smile on everyone’s face.
5. Speaking of things you’ll get a kick out of…check out the best new dad survival book, this is the most McGuyver-esque book you’ll find for new dads. No way could this great read be left out of any new dad gift ideas list.
6. There is nothing like a nice bracing cup of coffee in the wee hours of the morning because baby is keeping you up–for the rest of your life. This cute new dad coffee mug is perfect for those times–just a handy little pick-me-up-cup.
7. I almost spit my coffee out when I was gifted this cute set of Taco and Taquito dad-and-kid shirts. I mean, it couldn’t be more perfect for the Taco-Tuesday loving family that we are!
8. I’ll have you know that I needed this daddy doody diaper apron on more than one occasion. If I had been gifted it, I would have been a lot less disappointed in the mess on some of my favorite shirts. And jeans.
9. I definitely needed this new dad hat in my life. I mean, who knew that first year, I’d spend a million years in the sun doing things like going to the park and hitting the splash pad and running to the zoo in the first year?! I couldn’t create the best new dad Christmas gifts and not include an awesome hat!
10. When the new dad JUST became a new dad, this awesome kangaroo shirt is literally one of the best gifts he could ever receive. That bonding is so important–and he’ll love every second in that shirt.
11. If we’re talking bonding, though I have to bring up this Darth Vader and Son book. It’s serious fun to read and show baby all the pictures. And for dad to bond with baby over the best space opera ever made? Priceless.
12. Ah but, back from outer space, and putting our feet on the ground, so to speak, brings us to these hilarious dad socks. Every dad needs dad socks. Especially the new dads.
