First Father’s Day Gifts UK: 10 Ideas New Dads Will Love
First Father’s Day coming up? Don’t panic. We’ve got you covered with practical, personal, and even a little pamper-worthy gift ideas for new dads in 2025.
Let’s be honest: new dads don’t need more socks so here are ten gift ideas that go beyond the usual — with a few laughs and keepsakes thrown in too.
1. 🦸Matching ‘Protector & Sidekick’ Outfit Set
Because let’s face it — he is the hero now, even if you do find him infuriating! Our matching T-shirt and baby onesie set celebrates Dad’s new role in style. Soft, comfy, and perfect for those first Father’s Day photos (or a Sunday stroll to the coffee shop).

2. 🍻 Craft Beer or Food Subscription Box
The only thing better than a cold beer? A cold beer that arrives at your door. From craft beer selections to dad-friendly foodie treats, a monthly subscription is the gift that keeps on giving. Look for UK-based options like Beer52, Cheesegeek, or SnackSurprise.
A Dad's favourite is the Scottish company Brewdog.
3. 😴 Noise-Cancelling Headphones or Earplugs
Give the gift of temporary silence. Whether it's to survive Cocomelon or enjoy five peaceful minutes, a decent pair of noise-cancelling headphones or even high-quality earplugs are low-key lifesavers for new dads. Also if you are a new mom, get yourself a pair in case you ever get the chance for a nap!
4. 🧴 A Dad-Sized Dose of Skincare
He might not admit it, but those sleepless nights show. A gentle eye cream, a non-fussy moisturiser for dry skin, or even a “dad beauty” starter pack makes a brilliant and unexpected gift. Look for UK brands like Bulldog or The Ordinary. Because once the kids have grown up you will want your man to be looking good!
5. 📚 The ‘Commando Dad’ Survival Manual
Think of this as the SAS guide to fatherhood. It’s practical, funny, and full of straight-talking advice. A must-have for the dad who wants to feel like he’s got this – even when he doesn’t. You can buy it on Amazon here.
6. 💦 Personalised Reusable Water Bottle
Hydration, but make it personal. Our custom water bottles are made for busy new dads — practical, stylish, and eco-friendly. You can add your own favourite photo to our bottles so Dad won't lose it at the gym or at work again.

7. 📸 First Father’s Day Memory Frame or Keepsake
First's only happen once. You can create a photo and keepsake memory frame, a photo book, or handprint kit to make a brilliant sentimental gift – especially for dads who say they don’t want anything but secretly are a bit of a softie at heart.
8. 🍔 DIY BBQ Kit or Burger Box
If the dad in your life loves a bit of flame-grilled therapy, a DIY BBQ box (complete with spice rubs, sauces, and meat or plant-based options) is a sizzling choice. Bonus points for serving it with a cold beer from idea #2. Or with our personalised cooking apron tailored to the grillmaster in your life.
9. 🕹️ Mini Hobby Time: Puzzle, Game or Card Deck
Help him carve out a little 'me-time' — even if it’s just 15 minutes during nap time. Think quick card games, brain-teasing puzzles, or a mini Lego set for grown-ups. Light, fun, and screen-free. If you have the time and want to make something more personal check out our bespoke photo jigsaw puzzles and give your dad a smile as he completes a family photo jigsaw this Father's Day.
10. 🍼 A ‘Dad Fuel’ Mug or T-Shirt That Actually Makes Him Laugh
Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that spark a giggle. Choose one of the many dad-themed mugs or select from one of our funny T-shirts (no ‘World’s Best Dad’ clichés here — promise) and let him wear or sip his new title with pride.
As Father's Day 2025 approaches, on Sunday 15th June, make sure to order in advance to ensure delivery in time.
