Father’s Day Gifts for New & Expecting Dads
A Garden Starter
Want to get the family trash under control and help the dad in your life start a garden? Meet the Reencle Gravity Home Composter. This whisper-quiet device turns everyday food scraps from like meat, egg shells, coffee grounds, leftovers, and fruits & veggies into rich compost without the stinkies that usually come with composting (thanks to a three-layer filter system). With its’ ability to process 3.3 lbs of food daily it’s perfect for use by growing families hoping to start growing foods at home. Using the Reencle has significantly cut down the amount of waste in my home — the only stinky trash can smell we have now is in the diaper pails.
A New Type of Fit
Working out looks a bit different when you become a dad. Crossrope gives dads a fun way to stay heart-healthy by jumping rope with a variety of weighted ropes or rope-free (great if you have a crawling baby or tot around to prevent interrupted workouts or injury). Whether dads jumprope to entertain their partner as they try to pass the time waiting on contractions or to make baby laugh (add in silly sounds or use jump roping to promote counting for tots), Crossrope is a great at-home option for dads who want to ensure they stay healthy for their family but aren’t too far away. The Crossrope app helps users track jumps, time workouts, join challenges, and view workouts, adding to the versatility of the workouts. Choose the weight of your rope, the speed and reps you’re working on, and the app helps the rest of the way! My favorite way to use the Crossrope with kids around is on my rebounder without the rope.
Lasting Memories
Creating delicious recipes that can be cooked with the kids through the years and someday passed down when they start a new family of their own has to be one of the sweetest gifts. Add a few of your own favorite homemade baby food, toddler snack, or nourishing postpartum meal recipes to the Lucy Darling Cooking Together recipe book then gift it to the new dad in your life for him to add more favorites and start cooking with the kids (maybe using foods from their own garden!).
Baby Massage Class
There’s so much more to baby care than feeding the baby! And aside from taking walks with baby, reading to your baby or tot, and signing, etc. infant massage is one of the best things a father can learn to do. Navigating Nurturing Touch, an Infant massage class, offers dads an opportunity to learn their baby’s cues, how to play with their baby using love and respect, and how to help their baby with trapped gas all while boosting oxytocin & bonding between baby and dad. The course talks about how infant massage evolves as your child gets older, too! This is the microbiome building, oxytocin boosting gift that any new dad (or granddad) will love and appreciate.
Redlight Therapy for Wellness
Red light therapy is touted as a great healing modality to try at home for back pain, skin care, and so much more. If the dad in your life has any aches and pains, a Lumebox handheld red light is a great option to help with everyday wellness.
A New Office Chair
There are a lot of jokes about dads and their bathroom office space so it seems only fitting that we include a bidet in our list of gifts for Father’s Day. The bonus to this gift is that everyone in the family can enjoy the soothing benefits of the heated toilet seat (it’s a huge blessing when you’re a postpartum mom).
My coworker at work just had a baby and I know he’d love this round up!
