Father's Day Gift Ideas For New Dads

July 28, 2023-4 min read

What do new dads need the most? More sleep. Obviously. Some hard-earned downtime. And the right household help to make life with their precious new bundles just a little less stressy and messy! Just like new mums, the best gifts for first-time dads are those practical items that save time, sleep and effort – and let him (occasionally) relax. We’ve scouted some star small kitchen appliances and inspired pressie ideas, guaranteed to get his groove back.

Here’s how to spoil the new dad in your life this Father’s Day.

Something To Keep Him Awake…

What new dad doesn’t lean on caffeine to offset those broken nights? Coffee-ready in just 30 seconds, the slick De'Longhi Magnifica Fully Automatic Coffee Machine delivers a fast and easy fix, with one-touch operation to grind and select his favourite brew.

With the Apple TV 4K Wi-Fi 64GB, he’ll be volunteering for a late-night feed! Why? Because he’ll have all the latest must-watch shows, movies, sport and live TV for company – and a snappy new Siri Remote to rule it all.

… And Something To Help Him Sleep! 

Newborns aren’t quiet creatures. When he has a big day ahead and really needs to sleep, Sony WH-1000XM5 Noise Cancelling Headphones are perfect, and comfortable enough to nod off in, too.

He’ll sleep like a baby (cue eyebrow raise from every new parent ever) with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6. Track sleep and stress rhythms, load it up with relaxation apps to promote sleep, or hit play on his favourite calming ‘lullabies’ from his go-to music platform.

Something To Save Time In The Kitchen

Tasty, healthy meals in a flash? Fewer dirty dishes? Sign him up! The Nutribullet XXL 7L Digital Air Fryer slashes the effort of traditional cooking: roast a whole chicken in nearly half the time and enjoy crispy chips in minutes, minus the oil overload of regular deep frying. 

Upgrade to the Miele AutoDos Semi Integrated Dishwasher and let the super handy Express Wash option fast track any program, plus the Hygiene mode in the final rinse blasts 99.9 per cent of bacteria from those never-ending baby bottles.

He’ll make short work of purees (and earn brownie points with Mum) with the Breville Fresh and Furious blender. It’s powerful enough to blitz the chunkiest vegies, and has dishwasher-safe parts to nix the hassle of handwashing.

Something To Keep Baby Mess At Bay

Boys love toys. And he’ll love using the slog-saving Ecovacs DEEBOT U2 Robotic Vacuum to get to grips with crusty floors and hard to reach places (like under the sofa) – all without lifting a finger.

Won’t be long before bub’s on the move. New dad will relish the peace of mind of pristine surfaces with the Euroflex Vapour-M2R Floor Steam Cleaner. Safe on tiles, timber and laminate floors, it slays 90 per cent of bacteria and dust mites.

First babies equal a million snappable moments. Capture pro shots in any lighting, and amplify every tiny detail (right down to the sparkle in his little one’s eye), with the Canon EOD 1500D DSLR Camera. Got the world’s proudest Dad on your hands? Display those priceless pics for all to admire in the QPix 15” Digital LED Photo Frame.

Something To Stay Connected When It Counts

A dead mobile? Now that he relies on it more than ever – (did you know there are apps to turn smartphones into baby monitors!) – a flat battery is among the gravest crimes in the new dad book! The Cygnett Boost 10000mAh Powerbank will fit in his pocket and charge three different USB devices at once.

Something To Help Him Relax

Carrying new humans around all day (and half the night!) spells sore muscles. Soothe his aches and pains with the Homedics Pro Massage Gun. It offers three massage settings and therapeutic heat in an easy to use ergonomic design.

New dads never stay still long. With the lightweight JBL Charge 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, he can unwind to his favourite tunes, or podcast, on the go, wherever the baby's schedule takes him (the park, a family picnic, or out on the patio during naptime).
