Father's Day is important, but when it's your very first time celebrating the holiday? That's extra special. If you're shopping for your partner or the new dad in your life, you'll want to find a thoughtful gift he'll love. Maybe that means a personalized keepsake, like turning a photo of him and his new baby into a custom portrait...or a hoodie with so many storage compartments that he won't even need a diaper bag. Another option is a matching Instagram-worthy look for him and his little one to don on the big day. In any case, all the following first Father's Day gift ideas are sure to put a smile on his face.
If he's into Star Wars, he'll get a kick out of a shirt that plays on The Mandalorian. It's available in sizes ranging from small to 5XL and can be customized with any saying, like "since 2022."
Get him a book of mini crossword puzzles for when the baby is asleep and he finally gets some time to unwind. It comes with more than 150 puzzles that won't work his brain too hard.
He'll be able to carry his favorite photo of him and his baby everywhere he goes, thanks to this leather keychain.
If he loves to spend time in nature, he'll love Nautica's portable hammock that he can gently sway in with his baby. The best part? It's portable and packable for the next family vacay.
Turn all of his favorite family photos into a beautiful photo book that he's sure to cherish forever.
With a top-tier child carrier backpack, he can go anywhere from a scenic hike to the grocery store with his kid along for the ride.
Add another book to his collection for bedtime stories, but make it even cooler with a comic-based one that you can personalize.
Babies grow up so fast. Document the journey with a sweet piece of wall art, which is customizable with footprints or other meaningful images.
With this small putting green, he'll be able to work on his golfing game without ever leaving the house.
Prepare him early for all of the s'mores nights you'll eventually have as a family with these roasting sticks. Bonus points if you include all of the necessary ingredients for making the sweet treat.
A new dad might let his self-care routine fall short as he spends his energy taking care of the baby. Give him some whiskey soaps—which are naturally fragrant and exfoliating—to help him out with that.
When he does get some sleep, he'll want it to be high-quality. Ensure he rests easy with a custom pillow by Pluto.
He's probably already stashing a few keepsakes in the empty drawer of his desk or dresser. So do him a favor and buy him a box for it all. Plus, this one has the perfect spot for displaying a baby photo!
Now that he's a dad, he'll need to brush up on his dad jokes. These word teasers have him covered!
Though parents are always taking baby pics, the images never seem to make it off their phones. Not anymore. Give dad an instant camera so he can print out photos on the spot—no need to get them developed.
You'll have a great gift on your hands when you wrap up a personalized First Father's Day Candle.
With Ring, dads have the ability to conveniently see and communicate with whoever's at the door. It's less disruptive for the baby than a standard doorbell.
Make the little sleep he gets as comfortable as possible with a set of eco-friendly cooling sheets.
A memory foam eye mask is perfect for new dads who need to block out the light of midnight wakings. It comes in several colors and features indents so there isn't heavy pressure on the eyes.
The Dad Hoodie is unlike anything you've ever seen. Inside, you'll find tons of pockets for dad to securely put all of his baby's necessities in—from snacks and bottles to wipes and diapers.
