Top 5 Gifts for New Daddies

Taking care of a newborn baby is not an easy job and nobody, other than the mother, can relate to the daunting challenges of raising a kid. Nevertheless, dads too, play a significant role in disciplining and spoiling the whenever necessary. In fact, it is the combined efforts of Mom and dad, which affects the child’s upbringing. Hence, if new Moms receive all the love and care along with pampering, thoughtful gifts, new dads too need encouraging gifts for men to for accepting their new responsibilities. After all, the duties of caring for a newborn baby would always be overwhelming for a first-time parent. Here are some ideas:

The Right Gadget: A camcorder or a digital camera would be wonderful gifts for new dad so that he can document his journey of becoming a dad. If he wishes, he might take it further and direct some of home videos, starring himself and his kids. The camera would also prove to be a helpful gift when he would want to capture precious moments, such as baby’s first walk, first birthday, first vacation, etc. If you are considering giving these as gifts, add a tripod stand to complete the set.

Something to Clean: Changing diapers is a daunting task in itself and dads usually avoid doing it. However, accident comes accidentally and emergency calls for immediate action. Having a personal diaper bag would help him to act quickly and smartly when the baby unexpectedly makes a doo-doo. A diaper changing kit could be a real saviour at this point of time. Fill a diaper bag (they are now available in styles and colours to match the manly preference) with diapers, wipes and a hand sanitizer. In addition to this, changing pad, plastic or biodegradable bags, baby bottle(s), Sippy cup (for toddlers) must also go in. Also, throw in a baby blanket, baby clothes, a pacifier, sunscreen or a hat, diaper rash cream and tissues. Put a personalised apron and rubber gloves for the new dad; ideal gifts for men. 

The Enlightenment: Even if the man hates to read, he will have to study hard to be the best dad. Usually, the Moms do the reading while the dads are always there to support. Dads too should have all the necessary first hand information so that he can think fast and act quickly in adverse situations.

 Same-same: These days, it is possible to customise almost everything. There is a variety of identical father-child gift ideas, which is personalize-able. A personalised T-shirt for dad and a onesie for the baby with the similar print seem very popular gifts for men and their babies. Other than that, you can even personalise a mug and a Sippy cup, hats, etc. in a similar way.

Gift Basket: New baby’s arrival means sleepless nights and cranky mornings. A gift basket, comprising of his coffee bean/powder, an ‘appreciating daddy’ coffee mug, cookies, and a baby picture frame with the baby mama's picture with the baby ought to brighten him up.

A comprehensible fact is that a mother, whether she is single or married, can take care of her kids unassisted. However, what about the dad who has to single-handedly rear his child? How would he manage the ‘daunting challenges of raising a kid’? Such dads do exist and they deserve more than just a pat on the back for bringing up their kids, nurturing them just as a mother would do. Give the worthy new dads the commendable gifts for men they will cherish in process of becoming experienced dads.
