I think food is very handy at the beginning. Maybe a coffee maker/thermos (something to hold the caffeine) would also be good. Everyone wanted to get DH a jogging stroller the first time around since he loves to run. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-gift-for-a-new-dad#post-2372884 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 11:17:15 +0000 gingerbebe 2372884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eye mask and earplugs. Good for both sets of parents really. There's so much noise in the hospital (if you have to sleep there) plus lots of getting up at night and turning on lights in the room that we both got in the habit of wearing them when we were "off" or really needed rest. </p> <p>Gift cards to Starbucks and restaurants for takeout runs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-gift-for-a-new-dad#post-2372868 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 11:04:12 +0000 mediagirl 2372868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: haha I like that idea, too. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-gift-for-a-new-dad#post-2372863 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 11:02:24 +0000 LuLu Mom 2372863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>alcohol ;) Haha we always give the dad a bottle of decent whiskey. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-gift-for-a-new-dad#post-2372856 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 10:57:35 +0000 mediagirl 2372856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally like the book "Be Prepared: A practical Handbook for New Dads. My husband turned it into a bathroom book but I know he read it because he related some of the stuff we went through early on to the book! I'm going to gift (a new copy) to some friends who are having their first.</p> <p>What's your favorite gift for a new dad?</p> <p>[attach=251/15/nymxnz.268x400.251547.jpg] </p>
