Obviously you know your DH best, but I think my (super involved, totally awesome) husband would have been slightly irritated by the thought of a daddy survival kit. But he's also the type to get completely irritated when people say things about "daddy's day out" or him "babysitting" when he's out alone with our LO.
For his first fathers day, my SIL got him a superhero tshirt (it just had the superman S on it) and she wrote him a note about how he would also be a hero to our daughter. It was such a touching note...omg I still get teary thinking about it.

Swaddle instructions

Maybe a mask of some sort to help keep the stench away from changing poopy diapers? People say breastmilk poopy diapers don't stink, but DS's diapers are lethal to the max on the stench radar. Hubby always laughs and pulls up his shirt to cover his nose when he changes a super stinky diaper.

@MsLipGloss: i really like the idea of lyrics to songs/nursery rhymes. my husband and i each know only a few songs and after 9 months, they're getting pretty old!

@MsLipGloss: Lyrics to nursery songs/rhymes -- Good one!!

Maybe a cookbook, a guide to house cleaning, a list of how to help with nighttime wakings. These are of course coming from experience of hearing my DH say 'well I dont know how I can help'. DONE!

@googly-eyes: Mine would seriously stuff tissues in his ears so when she wouldn't stop crying for hours it helped!

Well it's supposed to be a gift, so I'd steer towards things to make him excited over things like instructions. Depends on the guy, I'm thinking of what my DH would want/not want. But here's a list I found online that I thought was sooooo cute:

Deodorant - to remind you not to sweat the small stuff
Marbles - when you've lost all yours
A piece of rope - when your at the end of yours
Hershey hugs and kisses - for when mom and baby are having a bad day
Advil - for when all else fails
Sour patch kids - to remind him all babies are different
Chap stick - to remind him everything turns out smoothly
Ear plugs - when you can't hear yourself or sleep
Erasers - to remind him it's ok to make mistakes
Clothes pins - when the smell becomes too much
Instant coffee - when you need a quick pick me up
Disposable camera - to save a moment in time
Book - for daddy baby time (I like Vader and Son/Daughter)
Super hero badge - to remind him he'll always be our hero.

@ wonderstruck - I love that list.

I also really liked the advice to focus on some of the fun things that DH will get to do with LO. My DH loves superman, so I would get him and LO matching shirts.
