Cigars

Know a soon-to-be dad? Celebrate their awaiting fatherhood with a special gift. Presents and a party let future parents know that they will be raising their children among supportive friends.

If you’re not sure what to get a new or soon-to-be father, think about their personality. Every man is different, and likely to have a parenting style that reflects that. Here are a range of gift ideas as diverse as dads themselves.

Traditional Gifts

For the traditionally minded man consider a classic gift like cigars. Handing out cigars to announce a child’s birth is a long-standing custom that some new dads will certainly want to take part in. Honor the occasion with him by gifting cigars enough for all the father’s friends. If he is not a regular cigar smoker, be sure to also give him a cigar cutter. Cigar cutters are a smoking accessory that is essential for properly opening and enjoying cigars.

Sporty Gifts

Stroller meters make great gifts for men who like to be outside, active, and on the go. They automatically measure the speed and distance a stroller travels, and some brands will even calculate average speed and daily mileage. New dads will be able to proudly prove how far they walked their baby.

Caring Gifts

When a father holds and carries a baby it increases the parental bond, and let’s the baby know he or she is loved. Baby carries come in a wide variety of styles including slings, backpacks, and wraps. Make sure to check consumer reviews on the safety, comfort, and durability of the brand and model before purchase.

Smart Gifts

Especially for first-time fathers, raising and caring for a baby can be a bewildering task. If the new dad enjoys reading, you can give him a book on fathering. Parenting advice books can range from humorous to informative, so you’re sure to find one that will appeal to the his character.

Unique Gifts

Some men are never content to be generic or mundane, and personalized gifts are perfect for this kind of new dad. Use an online personal gift store to design a one-of-a-kind shirt or mug just for him. You can even make a matching infant bodysuit for the baby.
