Between the baby shower and small tokens to make pregnancy easier, new moms and their littles get inundated with presents—but what about the best gifts for new dads? Reporting for dad duty (especially for the first time) is a life-altering adjustment. Sure, there’s so much happiness they could just about burst, but the new-infant territory also comes with an entirely different schedule that includes many, many sleepless nights and the loss of some of the freedom he once had.
That’s why it’s always a nice gesture to remember the new dad and give him a little something that isn’t actually another baby gift but rather something special meant for him and only him. Whether you choose something sentimental—like a personalized storybook or custom photo frame complete with a note from mom—or something practical—like a smart calendar to help keep the family organized or comfy joggers for lounging with baby—there are plenty of great options out there.
