30 Fun Father's Day Gifts For A Dad-To-Be

It’s never too early to start reading to your baby. So let your sweetie read Jimmy Fallon’s hilarious board book, Your Baby’s First Word Will Be DADA, to your tummy. He’ll be poring through the pages and hoping that when the baby does come, it’ll say Dada (but it might not).

Sure, some stubble is sexy on your guy, but not when it comes into contact with a baby’s precious newborn skin. The heated razor offers safe, consistent warmth, and the flexdisc technology can adapt to the contours of his face without nicking it, achieving a close, clean shave. The temperature is adjustable and it comes with a charging travel case and a wireless charger that allows for up to six shaves.

Skin to skin contact is ideal when Baby is first born. That’s why dad can get in on all the bonding action with this DadWare Bondaroo Skin to Skin Kangaroo Care Shirt. It’s not a carrier, but allows easy access to Dad’s chest at the hospital after birth and at home. It’s made from super soft poly/rayon/spandex French terry, so it won’t be scratchy to your guy or baby’s skin.

There’s nothing like a newborn to come along to make you realize how much you took sleeping for granted. This father and son matching shirt set features poor Papa on very low battery, while Baby is fully charged. Hopefully, your little one isn’t wide awake at 3:00 a.m.

For the dad who loves his coffee (or hot beverages,) a new dad mug will be the perfect gift that he will use over and over again. The mug is available in 11 oz. or 15 oz. sizes, and is dishwasher and microwave safe. Daddy will be glad to have it when he has to stay awake for those midnight bottle feedings.

Even if Baby isn’t here yet, that shouldn’t stop the dad-to-be from reading to them. Your partner can bond with your belly when he reads this personalized book to your unborn baby. It’s full of milestone moments (think riding a bike or a precious bedtime routine) that are sure to make him emotional, in a beautiful way.

Listen, kids can’t be the only ones who get a sippy cup. The glass beer pint from Amazon has a handmade laser design etched into it, so that the words will be permanently engraved in the glass. It holds 16 oz. of water, juice, soft drinks, or, you know, the good stuff to help him unwind.

The Deuce 2.0 Tactical Diaper Bag is water resistant and offers plenty of space to store all of Baby’s essentials, like diapers, wipes, balm, and more. Extra pockets mean more space for pacis, and there’s even a changing mat included.

It can be daunting to know how to “be” a dad. That’s why the book, We’re Pregnant! The First-Time Dad’s Pregnancy Handbook, by Adrian Kulp, can take some of the fear away from becoming a father. Your partner will learn how to create a birthing plan, how to be supportive, and what it means to approach pregnancy with empathy and understanding.

All night feeding sessions means big bags under the eyes — for everyone. Help your partner look his best by getting him a pair of stylish sunnies.

Listen, it’s going to be a while before anyone feels like Date Night. So if Saturday nights are spent on the sofa, give your guy something comfy to relax in. These Men’s Organic Cotton Pajama Set from L.L. Bean are made from organic cotton, and offer a traditional relaxed fit. The pants have an elastic waist with a drawstring, so that he won’t have to worry about buttons…since he’ll be too bleary-eyed to see them, anyway.

Even the Dad-to-be is expecting with this cute shirt from givethxdesigns on Etsy. The shirt comes in a variety of colors (think black, navy or royal blue, and military green, as pictured), and shows what it can feel like to patiently wait until Baby’s arrival.

If you thought you were the only one who was constantly stalking the fridge, think again. This Snack Box set from Harry & David has everything your partner might want to munch on. Crackers, sharp white cheddar cheese, hickory-smoked sausage, and honey hot mustard make for a magnificent meal — or just a midnight snack. There are even mixed nuts and Classic Caramel Moose Munch Premium Popcorn to chow down on, too.

This plush robe from Bed Bath & Beyond, is comfy, cozy, and stylish. Choose from an assortment of colors, and when it gets dirty, simply toss it in the washing machine

Slip a sonogram photo into this sweet Father’s Day frame from Etsy seller BrandonScottAD. It can be personalized with your partner’s last name or even custom wording, along with your due date. The wood frame measures 8'' x 8'' with a 3.5'' x 3.5" photo opening, ideal for an ultrasound pic.

If your partner is a chef de cuisine (or just likes to make nachos in the microwave), he just might love this PowerXL 5qt Single Basket Air Fryer. You can create crisp, tasty better-for-you meals sans any unhealthy frying oil. And once Baby comes, you’ll be thankful for the automatic shut-off, in case you accidentally forget to turn it off.

Is it a moccasin, or is it a slipper? It’s a bit of both. The slip on shoe has a suede upper and a round moc toe. The faux fur lining will make him feel like he’s walking on a cloud, especially since that cushioned footbed will be caressing his tootsies every step of the way.

For those newborn hazy days when bathing is not an option, your guy can spritz himself with this cologne from Dior. It has keynotes of vanilla, bergamot, and nutmeg, which should make him smell sweet, even when fatherhood leaves him smelling funky.

Fatherhood can evoke a lot of emotions. Help him put pen to paper with this journal from Amazon. It’s handcrafted from genuine leather and has 144 pages so that he can write down everything he’s feeling to remember it all when Baby isn’t a baby anymore.

If you’re looking for a way to reward your parter for pitching in so much with prepping for Baby, these coupon cards can do the trick. You can fill in the blank with any item that he might need, be it a break from those future 3:00 a.m. bottle feedings, a massage, or whatever his heart desires.

Because that crib isn’t going to build itself, your partner can pitch in when he uses this 23-Piece Household Tool Set with Soft Case from Lowe’s.

For those times when you just need to sleep, your partner can get Baby’s bottle ready in a flash with the Philips Avent Baby Bottle Warmer. It ensures even heating (woot, no hot spots!), and it can heat four ounces of milk in under three minutes. It even has an option that allows you to defrost frozen breast milk, making the bottle ready for Baby’s breakfast come morning.

Sleepless nights are no match for the Contigo Autoseal West Loop Vacuum-Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Mug.
