A Baby Shower Gift For Dad?

All too often, men are excluded from the baby shower ritual. Now for many men, this is by choice and they're okay with it. But not all new dads are alike in their thinking. It's a fact that over the past 5 to 10 years, dads have become more and more involved in the new baby festivities. After all, they are an important part of the equation!

More and more men today want to play a more prominent role in their children's lives. They want their efforts acknowledged and there's no better way to do that than with a baby shower gift for Dad. Now dad's not going to need any breastfeeding supplies. And he probably doesn't want any diapers. So what exactly do you give these new age dads?

Well for starters, decide whether you want the baby shower gift for dad to be silly or somewhat serious. You'll know the answer after giving some thought to the dad's personality. You can also gauge the answer by considering the tone of the upcoming festivities. Usually when men are invited to baby showers, they're more casual affairs, like backyard BBQs. So in this case, something silly might be perfectly appropriate.

If you're hedging towards a more serious baby shower gift for dad, think about the dad's hobbies and interests next. If enjoys playing golf for example, give him a set of golf balls with a baby-inspired inscription. If he likes a good cigar, give several so he can enjoy them with his buddies.

Most guys love wearing t-shirts which is why you'll find a huge assortment geared towards the new dad. A t-shirt with a funny image is both cute and useful making it a perfect silly baby shower gift for dad. Another popular baby shower gift for dad is a tool belt full of baby supplies like diapers, wipes, bottles, and of course, a mask! The choices for dad are out there so go have some fun!
