The New Dad's Playbook is a game plan for the expecting father. It gives practical advice about how to be a good partner, what their significant other is going through (physically and emotionally), how to prepare for birth, what to do when the baby is home, and how to prepare for the unexpected.

14. Marvel Body Kit
Sometimes, the responsibility of being new parents comes with a lack of self-care.
Why?
All the attention goes to the newborn in your life. And for good reason. A baby can't take care of itself. They need all the love and attention you can give them until they are self-sufficient.
As an adult, however, self-care should be a priority. Don't let a lack of sleep hinder the hygiene of the new dad in your life.
Give him a new sense of hydration and cleanliness with this Marvel body kit. He'll get a refresh, and your family will thank you as well.
It comes with your choice of three different characters (and scents): Iron Man, Captain America, and Black Panther.
15. Date Night Bucket List Kit
This is a gift for both parents.
How so?
After the baby comes along, family time goes from romantic evenings with your partner to bottle feeding, diaper changing, and a lack of sleep.
That's just a part of parenthood. Don't let that deter you. Rejuvenate your date nights with this Date Night Bucket List Kit.
Bring back the romanticism and get some alone time with your spouse by following these unique date prompts.
Got some of your own? Add them to the bucket for those special evenings alone.
16. Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness Tracker
Becoming a parent requires lots of multitasking: carpools, child-proofing the house, and lots of instruction manuals. Not to mention your daily routine, work, and maybe a little sleep (if you're lucky).
Typically the first thing to go when life gets hectic is the fitness routine.
Prioritize your health with the Fitbit Charge 4 fitness tracker and smartwatch.
This is one of the best first father's day gifts for the health-conscious among us.
17. Sunday Funday Matching Football Shirts
Yet another Etsy classic, try out this matching Sunday Funday football t-shirt and onesie for dad and baby.
It's perfect for dad to show off his football fanaticism while putting on display just how cute his little bundle of joy is.
What better reward than to show him that you care this father's day by encouraging him to get some downtime with his favorite pastime: watching Sunday night football?
Perfect for father and son bonding time.
