Cameras and Videocameras

• Purchase a quality camera so the dad can document his child growing up. The camera should have at least 11 megapixels for clear pictures. Buy a photo printer and quality photo paper to go with your gift for a splurge. Or get a camera that has video capabilities. Buy the Canon 5D, which some professional filmmakers use, if you are a grandparent with a large budget.
  
  

Baby Sports Gear

• Sports gear can get any guy excited about celebrating football season with his newborn. Buy a baby football jersey for the guy to give his newborn boy. Or give the guy a baby cheerleading outfit for his favorite team if he has a girl. A sports-theme diaper bag permits the guy to carry around some baby essentials without the embarrassment of holding a woman's bag. Also throw in for cable sports channels so the guy can watch his favorite team play at home.
  
  

Gift Cards

• Buy a gift card to take some pressure off the guy because the cost of raising a child can seem astronomical. Some men appreciate gift cards to major retail stores that carry baby supplies. Or get the guy a gift card to a video game and entertainment store so he can take some time to himself. Personalize a gift card with a photo of the guy and his newborn as well as his name.
  
  

Slings and Carriers

• Some moms spend so much time bonding with their newborn that the dads feels left out. Purchase a top-rated quality sling so the guy can wear the baby around the house and on walks. The baby can begin to feel very close to the father and begin to bond with him. Or get a carrier that the guy can use on long hikes if he is outdoorsy. Carriers can be a blessing for families who enjoy the endorphins from hiking.
