Gifts for First-Time Dad on his First Father's Day

Bringing a new baby into the world is a milestone, but don't overlook the guy who's just become a first-time dad. A first Father's Day is a big deal and needs to be celebrated in a major way, so the ideal gift to commemorate the day needs to be well considered.

Whether he's already holding his newborn or waiting with bated breath for their arrival, we've put together some wonderful first Father's Day gift ideas to help you welcome the new dad in your life.

Luxury Gift Baskets for Expectant Fathers

For the soon-to-be father waiting for the days to go by before meeting his baby, a thoughtful gift will see that he has his first Father's Day even before his baby is born. Expectant father Father's Day gifts need to be something that acknowledges his new status while providing him with something he can enjoy during this time of anticipation.

Our premium hampers are an ideal way to spoil an expecting dad.

The Port and Stilton Favourites with Personalised Lid is a gift in itself, beautifully packaged in a wooden case that can be personalised with your own message to commemorate his first Father's Day. He'll discover inside a bottle of Dow's Fine Ruby Port and some artisan British cheese such as a Cropwell Bishop Blue Stilton Wedge and Wainwright's Choice Vintage Mature Cheddar—perfect for savouring those quiet moments before the sleepless nights begin!

The key to presenting a soon-to-be father is to give him something indulgent that acknowledges the journey ahead. A luxury hamper is an elegant way of saying "congratulations" and providing him with something to enjoy as he prepares for the most significant role of his life.

Pampering Gift Ideas for New Fathers

New fatherhood, though gratifying, comes with its downsides—sleepless nights, added responsibilities, and a total change of priorities. A 1st Father's Day present that revolves around relaxation and pampering can be exactly what a tired new dad requires to lift his spirits.

Our Luxury Pampering Set Gift Basket with Bollinger Champagne is the ultimate treat for tired new dads. Delivered in a lovely hand-made willow basket, the gift hamper contains a bottle of renowned Bollinger Special Cuvée Brut Champagne to toast his new status, alongside pampering treats such as a soothing scented bath bomb and invigorating massage brush. The high-quality three-wick soy blend candle provides the ideal ambiance for unwinding—something new parents are in need of!

While often traditionally marketed to women, pampering hampers are gaining in popularity with men, especially new dads who never stop to do anything for themselves. Dads require pampering as well, after all, so why not take his first Father's Day as the perfect opportunity to make it happen?

Gifts for Dad and Baby

Some of the most significant new dad Father's Day presents commemorate the unique relationship between baby and dad. Things that they can share together make memories that last a lifetime and enhance their developing rapport -- which our baby hampers are perfect for.

The Run Rabbit Run with Prosecco and Chocolates Hamper in Blue has the ideal combination of goodies for dad and baby.

Baby will love the snuggly 'Big Mouse' soft toy and soothing blue 'Nursery Rabbit' rattle, while dad can toast his new status with a bottle of Zonin Prosecco and decadent Lily O'Brien's chocolates. The basket also contains useful treats such as baby booties and a cotton muslin square—necessities that demonstrate you're in touch with the realities of new parenthood.

These joint gifts recognise that fatherhood is a matter of bonding. By offering something to dad and baby, you're honouring and celebrating their new bond in a manner that's more meaningful than the standard "just for dad" gift.

Personalised First Father's Day Presents

There is nothing that says "we value you" like a gift made personal. For a first Father's Day, the personal touch takes a good gift and makes it a keepsake that he'll treasure for years.

Our bespoke hampers are the answer. The above Port and Stilton Favourites hamper includes a personalised sliding lid that can be engraved with a message of your choice, making it not only a tasty gift but a reminder of his first father's party to treasure. Once the goodies have been enjoyed, the wooden box is left as a keepsake box—perhaps to hold baby's first shoes or other precious mementos.

Personalisation takes a present from being merely thoughtful to being outstanding. By engraving his name, baby's name, or a message, you're rendering it a one-of-a-kind item that commemorates this landmark occasion in his life. It indicates that you've taken the time to choose something special for him, rather than picked up a standard "dad" present.

Celebrating His New Role

In choosing the first Father's Day gift ideas, keep in mind his personality and interests as well as celebrating his new role. Is he a foodie and would enjoy gourmet goodies? A high-end hamper of artisan cheeses and port could be ideal. Does he require pampering? A pampering hamper can provide calming comfort.

Keep in mind, the greatest presents pair usefulness with pampering. New dads put themselves last, so allowing him the indulgence of something special—a taste of fine champagne or a moment of quiet—is a gift in itself.

We know it can be tough to think of the ideal present for a new father, particularly if you're eager to make his first Father's Day a special one. Our beautifully presented hampers do the work for you, offering immediately decadent luxury that can be delivered directly to his doorstep.

Whether you're buying for your partner as he becomes a dad or wanting to get something unique for a friend or relative who's celebrating his first Father's Day, our selection of luxury hampers has something for every new dad. With mementos for him and activities to enjoy with baby, we've thoughtfully designed every hamper to mark this milestone event.

This inaugural Father's Day is the start of a lifetime of celebrations. Give him something that acknowledges his new status, offers a brief pampering amidst the chaos of new parenthood, and captures a lasting memory of this milestone occasion.

FAQs

What can I do for his first Father's Day?

For his first Father's Day, why not spend the day as a mix of celebration and relaxation? Begin with a celebration breakfast, maybe with a nice gift such as our Port and Stilton Favourites hamper with its Cropwell Bishop Blue Stilton and Dow's Fine Ruby Port. Organise some quality time with the family that is memorable but also allows him some moments when he can just get on with being a dad without any responsibilities. A card with a heartfelt message about his new role as a dad will make the day even more memorable.

What to buy my partner for his first Father's Day?

Consider a high-end gift that acknowledges both his new status and his need for occasional indulgence. Our Port and Stilton Favourites with Personalised Lid hits just the right note—the personalised wooden crate becomes a keepsep, and the contents (including Claire's Handmade Old Fashioned Plum Chutney and Wainwright's Choice Mature Cheddar) are a sophisticated treat he can enjoy in the few moments of peace he gets to himself. Or, an indulgence hamper gives him permission to take some well-deserved time for himself.

What do you say to a first-time father on Father's Day?

Show sincere gratitude for his transition into fatherhood. Mention specific traits you've observed—his patience with nighttime feedings, his tenderness with the baby, or how he's taken to this new phase. Steer clear of general statements and instead offer personalised remarks featuring observations that indicate you've seen his own parenting style. A simple "I'm proud of the father you're becoming" can mean the world if it's said sincerely.
