40 Father’s Day Gifts For New Dads To Help Them Feel Pampered

Take a lesson from Cookie Monster and treat your favorite new dad to some of the best chocolate chip cookies on the market, courtesy of New York City’s legendary Levain Bakery. This special package includes four cookies, a bag of Devoción coffee (which he will absolutely need) and the cutest “Freshly Baked” onesie for the family’s new addition. There’s also a vegan and gluten-free option for the dad with dietary restrictions.

This Dagne Dover carryall will hold all of his parenting essentials—and from the looks of it, you’d never know that it’s actually a diaper bag. It counts a mini changing mat, extra pouches, stroller clips, a luggage sleeve and a bottle holder among its features. The backpack style is great for the dad who shuns totes or just simply likes to be hands-free.

As a new dad, sleep sessions can come few and far between. The weight of this Bearaby blanket provides a comfortable soothing pressure that can aid in better sleep—a must-have for short naps on the couch. It also comes in a variety of colors and weight levels and is made from sustainable eucalyptus fabric for top-of-the-line plushness.

Whether he tunes into Real Housewives drama religiously or catches the occasional episode of Watch What Happens Live, any new dad who enjoys a night of Bravo (perhaps more than he cares to admit) will tear through Andy Cohen’s book about how fatherhood has changed his life. As its title—The Daddy Diaries: The Year I Grew Up—implies, it’s witty, candid and heartwarming.

Father’s Day is a great time to step up a new dad’s coffee routine. He can’t run out to his favorite café every time he needs a latte anymore, and if he’s going to play barista at home, he might as well do it right. Nespresso’s Vertuo Pop+ machine is compact but mighty, taking up minimal counter space despite the fact that it can brew a whopping five sizes of hot or iced coffee.

There may be no way around the interrupted sleep patterns that come with new parenthood, but there are ways to make the best of the situation—and this Loftie clock is one of them. Much more sophisticated than its minimalistic design lets on, it’ll help him get as much quality rest as possible thanks to a gentle two-phase alarm that mimics the body’s natural waking process. And the bedtime story, sound bath and guided meditation options aren’t to be overlooked, either.

If he’s been looking a bit scruffier than usual—and understandably so—then this Philips shaver will get him cleaned up, stat. It’s specially designed to protect skin from irritation and its larger head delivers a quick and close shave with fewer passes. He can use it wet or dry and will get approximately 20 cordless shaves on a one-hour charge.

Whether he works remotely or is just sending out the occasional email amid paternity leave, this convenient laptop stand from Moft will be a lifesaver for his posture. All he has to do is prop it up on a table, fold it to the angle of his choice (there are four options, including one that will allow him to stand) and get down to business. He’ll be grateful for the chance to multitask from any room while keeping an eye on the little one—and for fewer trips to the chiropractor. 

If he’s been wearing the same uninspired pair of slippers for years, Father’s Day is the perfect time for an upgrade. He’ll feel like he’s walking on clouds as he pads around the house in full-on dad mode, thanks to these suede slip-ons from Ugg. Their soft wool lining is unbeatable, plus they come in six neutral shades that are bound to match his loungewear.

This 100% cotton French terry Skims hoodie is so cozy, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more comfortable sweatshirt. And what better gift for a new dad who’s spending most of his time at home? It’s bound to become his new go-to from the moment he slips it on.
