8 Simple ways to make your husband's first Father's Day unforgettable

8 Simple ways to make your husband's first Father's Day unforgettable

You don't have to break the bank to make your husband's first father's day special and memorable!

New dads deserve to be celebrated. This doesn’t mean paying a king’s ransom just to make them feel like royalty. Simple and affordable gestures can be even more valuable than material things. (Although most dads would agree that receiving a new watch and tie is always great.)

But the first year of parenthood can take its toll, sapping both your resources and energy. Despite this, you can still look back on your husband’s first father’s day fondly with these simple gift ideas.

1. Make it his day (but bring your baby along)

Many new parents can’t really leave their newborn in the care of someone else. So, make a day of it with your little one in tow. Why not visit an auto show or game convention? If your husband is more low-key, maybe a chill day at the park or the beach is more his speed.

2. Have your baby make his own card

Buy a child-safe, non-toxic, and washable inkpad to make a very special card using your baby’s tiny handprints and footprints. You can even go the extra mile and take a photo of your baby holding up a sign with a sweet message like: “I love you, daddy!”

3. Begin a new tradition

Starting a new tradition that you can look forward to during each year of fatherhood can be a nice way to celebrate: you can try taking a photo of your husband and baby in a memorable place, and recreate the exact same photo in the years to come.

4. Give him a “free pass”

Create coupons which he can use to grant him “immunity” from household chores and other errands. Sometimes, the best gift is simply freeing him from household responsibilities, even if it’s just for 24 hours. Plus: he gets more time to bond with your baby!

5. Play his favorite games

It doesn’t matter if he likes playing sports or prefers board games and video games, spending time together doing an activity he loves reminds him that you appreciate his passion for certain things which are a huge part of who he is.

6. Give him full remote “control”

Have a TV series or movie marathon together—all his picks of course! Enduring that scary movie he’s been begging you to see with him may be one of the truest measures of love.

7. Make him breakfast in bed

All new parents crave more hours of sleep. So, letting him catch more Zs as you prepare his favorite meal is one of the best gifts you can give a new dad. Get up extra early to feed the baby and then whip up something super special but easy.

8. Give him something else in bed

There’s more than one way to make him feel special in bed. Don’t feel bad if your sex drive isn’t like it used to be—that’s normal after having a baby. Buy new lingerie or watch a steamy movie together to get you both in the mood.

It may take some effort but these priceless gifts will make your husband feel truly loved and appreciated.
