Celebrating Father's Day for the first time can put a lot of pressure on moms. Your child is obviously too young to get in on the gift buying or cute crafting, so it's up to you to make Dad's day special. If you're stressing out about finding Father's Day gifts for your husband who is a first-time dad, don't worry about it. There are so many options out there that he'll love unwrapping on the big day, from the playful to the practical.
When you're buying a gift, you have a few different directions you can take. You can go the silly route, or even the sentimental route. Some of these gift ideas actually check both boxes, because what dad wouldn't look heart-meltingly adorable and also completely hilarious dressed in matching superhero outfits with their baby? You can also go the practical route, with the added benefit that some of those types of gifts will actually benefit you, too.
