DIY New Baby Gift for the New Dad

A new addition to the family brings major changes to the family dynamic. Often with the birth and delivery of a new baby, a lot of attention is directed toward the mother. With so much focus on the new mother, the new dad can often be forgotten. Let the new dad know that he is loved and make him feel a part of the big day with a fun New Dad Gift Basket! This New Dad Gift Idea is the perfect way to celebrate this moment with him and boost his confidence for his new role as a daddy!

New Dad Gift Idea

With so many preparations for the baby’s arrival, putting together a gift basket might seem daunting, but it has never been easier! With our gorgeous printable designs created by the talented Courtney from paperelli.com, making this new dad gift is easy! Courtney has designed five different DIY daddy gifts printables that are easy to put together.
When creating your New Dad Gift, decorate a basket with the cute printable label and tag. You can include all five of the following gift ideas (lucky Dad!), or simplify and do one or two ideas. 
Here is what is included: 

  • New Dad Card – Share with the daddy-to-be how pleased you are that he will have this new role. Boost his confidence while you share with him your love and support via this printable card!
  • Candy Bar Tags – Fill Daddy’s gift basket with all of his favorite sweets and treats! We have over a dozen darling tags that you can attach to each item with super sweet messages – including reasons he will make a fantastic father!
  • Matching T-shirt and Onesie- Let Daddy show off his new pride and joy in style! These fun designs can be transferred onto a t-shirt for Dad and a coordinating onesie for baby! It’s a quick and easy gift that is sure to make him smile!
  • Dad’s Coupon Book – Being a new dad can be tough! Lighten Dad’s load with a coupon book for when he needs a break the most! These redeemable tickets give Daddy the much needed break he deserves!
  • Letter to the New Daddy – Let Daddy know how special he will be to his new little one! Use one of the two templates to write a special letter expressing why he will be a great dad. In one version, you can construct a letter to the baby expressing how lucky they are to have their dad. The second version includes writing prompts to write a letter directly to the new dad, expressing your confidence in him.

    1. Hello Kate! Our printable pack comes as is, but you could always contact the designer if you want some wording adjusted! Courtney designed this one and her site is: paperelli.com
      Also, if it helps I am planning to give this to my husband for Father’s Day and everything still applies. I am only leaving out some of the candy tags that say “you will be”. There are plenty of candy tags to choose from and I just omitted those. I hope that helps!

  1. I’ve never printed on to an iron on transfer before. How does this work? can I just get the paper and print from my normal printer? Where do I buy the sheets from? I’m assuming Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, or any Fabric Store?

    I love this! its so cute! thank you for all your great ideas! My husband always asks where I get these surprise ideas from! 🙂

    1. Welcome to the world of iron-on transfers! They are so simple and fun! You can purchase the papers at any of those stores you mentioned or Amazon is a great source too! You print right from your home printer. My biggest tip is to follow the directions on the specific package you purchase. Some iron-ons require you to print the mirrored image and others you print just the normal image. We provide both types in this pack! Enjoy!

  2. I’m expecting a new little one in September and I can’t wait to give this to my hubby!! Great job, Sarina!!
