Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, whether it’s the holidays, their birthday, an anniversary, or Father’s Day, it’s easy to default to picking out his favorite bottle of liquor, some designer socks, or a luxury pen for gifting. Unfortunately, you can’t gift them the same thing every single year—at least not without looking low-key lazy—especially with dads who are new to the whole parenting thing and are actually excited about unboxing their first Father’s Day gift.

New dads and dads-to-be are arguably slightly easier to shop for, but there are more considerations to take into account when it comes to finding them the right Father’s Day gift—regardless of your relationship to the dad in question. As a whole, it’s generally advised to err on the side of sentimental for new dads, though opting for a practical gift that they can actually use is always a solid option too.

Given that Father’s Day 2023 is just around the corner (Sunday, June 18), we decided to help take some of the guess-work out of finding a thoughtful Father’s Day gift to help celebrate (and congratualte!) the new dad in your life with some non-cliche gift ideas, ranging from useful baby products to make his life easier t0 self-care treats to help him handle the newfound stress of being a parent.
