BEST NEW DAD GIFTS

WHY NEW DAD GIFTS?

* everybody thinks of the new baby first, then maybe of the mother and who thinks of the new dad? You do!
* you are the new mum and think daddy has earned a treat, too!
* you might know the new dad very well but not the rest of the family
* the new dad might be your son or brother and you want to get something special for him, too
* dad might be the one primarily looking after the baby

You see, there are many reasons to get a little something for new fathers!






MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR UNIQUE NEW DAD GIFTS:

• DADDY AND ME PICTURE FRAME
  Give the new dad a special daddy & me picture frame to place at his office. Every dad loves to show off his baby to coworkers and clients. Of course dad can also hang this up at home! Daddy & me photo frames are available in all sorts of styles and materials and with different messages engraved such as 'Daddy & Me', 'I love Daddy', 'Daddy's Girl', etc. Have the engraving personalized and the frame makes a great and timeless new dad gift!
  
  
  
• ROCKABYE BABY CD, LULLABY RENDITIONS
  Is daddy a Rock, Reggae or Pop fan? Does he especially like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, U2, Madonna, The Police, Def Leppard, Metallica, Bob Marley, ColdplayBon Jovi, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Kanye West or Pearl Jam? These are just some of the ROCKABYE Lullaby renditions available. For their 5th anniversary, ROCKABYE have released a 2-disc compilation, too. Rockabye Baby transforms the songs of your favorite artists into instrumental lullabies. Let baby and dad cuddle up to listen to the soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and other instruments. They will lull baby into sleep, and - who knows - maybe daddy, too!
  Why not get a couple of these CDs for the new father? Check these cool new dad gifts out, Rockabye Baby also offer gift bundles that include ROCKABYE onesies and baby tees.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• DADDY DIAPER CHANGING TOOLBOX
  Want a gag gift for the new dad? Then I recommend a diaper changing toolbox with lots of fun and functional gifts! There are various diaper changing toolboxes around and they contain 'usefull' stuff for the dad to be such as:
  - a mask with a toxic fume filter, so dad can breathe more easily
  - goggles - for better eye protection
  - tongs - for easy removal of the diaper
  - ear/ nose plugs - might come in handy...
  - baby wipes - well, even mommy needs these when changing a diaper
  - a bio hazard bag and rubber gloves - straight from the tongs into the bag will be the best thing to do with baby's diaper
  Get a diaper changing toolbox ready-made with all the contents at amazon or make one yourself! I am sure you can think of more 'helpful' and funny stuff to add...!Put everything in an ordinary toolbox, add little funny notes to your items and finally use metallic letter stickers on top of the toolbox to personalize it for the new dad!

• DIGITAL CAMERA / CAMCORDER
  If the new dad does not have a digital camera or a camcorder yet - or also if he has an outdated model only - there's no better occassion to get him (a new) one! The pictures and little films of baby will bring joy and fun for a lifetime. Also, once the baby is an adult she or he will also enjoy all these childhood memories together with the parents.
