4. Date Night With Mum<\/h2>\n

Arrange a babysitter and celebrate Father’s Day by taking both of you out on a date night without bub in tow. If it’s the first time you’ve been out together alone since giving birth, don’t feel you have to have a three course meal and stay overnight somewhere fancy. Even taking the time to enjoy a sunset picnic will mean a lot to you both.<\/p>\n

5. Matching Shirts<\/h2>\n

From\u00a0Etsy<\/a><\/p>\n

Matching Dad and baby tshirts are currently all the rage and, given the originality of some of the designs, shamelessly so. No longer relegated to the ‘that’s kind of creepy’ corner of the market, matchy-matchy is the new black. Besides, who can resist going ‘Awwww’ when seeing a man honour his kids with such open displays of love and pride in his role as Dad?<\/p>\n

\n6. Baby Carrier<\/h2>\n

From\u00a0Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Super practical, sure, but a quality baby carrier means he can do all sorts of things hands-free right? Like cook, clean, shop. Only kidding! He’s already doing all of that right? It’s also great for activities such as round the house bonding, bushwalking and travelling.<\/p>\n

7. Plan A Family Camping Trip<\/h2>\n

This gift is particularly suited to New Dads who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors. He’ll relish in the challenge of taking New Baby along to enjoy your shared favourite pre-baby past-time – camping. The key is to invite extended family, so there’s a support network available when things get tricky. Make a big Father’s Day Weekend of it!<\/p>\n

8. Smartphone Handlebar Mount<\/h2>\n

From\u00a0Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

High tech (and even low tech) Dads won’t know themselves after you give them one of these. He already walks the baby around the block for fresh air and comfort, but with a smartphone handlebar mount he’ll actually enjoy it! Sure, it’s important to limit screen time and smell the roses, but if it means baby sleeps rather than cries everyone wins!<\/p>\n

\"Fathers<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Labelled Beer Bottle<\/h2>\n

From\u00a0Etsy<\/a><\/p>\n

New Dad deserves a bottle too right? These First Time Dad Beer Bottle labels are hilarious! They look so professional and classy yet touch on some of Dad’s most vulnerable moments. This Etsy store also lets you do custom orders, so if you have some of your own quotes you’d like to include you can arrange that as well.<\/p>\n

10. Time To Go Fishing<\/h2>\n

Last but by no means the least, take Dad on a fishing trip. He’s keen to spend his weekends with his new family, but this treat means he can enjoy fishing and family all at once. Dream come true. Happy Father’s Day Dads! Hope you are spoilt rotten!<\/p>\n
