The best gift ideas come from the heart, and are about something he loves or a memory you share. Try taking him for a night out at his favorite restaurant, on you.
Dad's want something that benefits the baby and shows that he cares about he/she. The best gift would be to get a shirt/outfit that says something about dad or daddies something.
I know one perfect gift for dads. It's my dad's birthday recently and I've been thinking for a long time about what to buy him. I found a site called CaricatureMaster and decided to order golf caricature of him because he is an passionate golfer. They did a fantastic job, my dad was thrilled, he said it was the most unique gift he ever received.
If you go to www.gifts.com/ideas/him you can find many gift ideas for a new dad. Another place to look is on ebay.com There you just enter dad gifts and many ideas will pop up with price too.
Since the new dad will probably have a lot of things to think about, try to find a gift that will be useful and will help him in everyday life, like a baby carrier.
It depends on his interests. Some good ideas are a Leatherman pocket tool if he likes the out-doors or gadgets, a good bottle of wine if he drinks alcohol or an electronic gadget or tool (dad can never have enough power tools).
For men, some of my go to gift ideas are perfume (preferably in a set), a nice pair of shoes, a robe, slippers, hats, or anything custom maid. It is elegant and shows that you care.
Maybe you could get him an actual amazon.com gift card or a Wal-Mart gift card. That's what my brother usually gets my dad and he's often proud of it.
Finding the perfect baby gift for a boy or girl can be frustrating. Some ideas for a baby girl would be a personalized princess book maybe read by Dad or Grandparents. Also personalized gifts are great for any baby.
There are many websites that can offer gift ideas for women. Some practical gift ideas that are commonly used on many occasions are jewelry, flowers and heart felt messages.
Some great father's day gift ideas include "dad" mugs, shirts, gifts that have your child's hand print and gift cards. You can also get him a hat or t-shirt.
My favorite gift for Dad is a homemade coupon booklet, with discounts for simples things like a carwash, special dinner, that sort of stuff. Cant go wrong with that!
