• The gift possibilities for a new dad go far beyond the traditional celebratory cigar.dad & daughter image by Linda Mattson from Fotolia.com
  
  Gifts for new parents have historically been showered upon the mother. Only in recent years has the father's role in raising children become widely accepted as more than the bread winner and the disciplinarian. The traditional gift for a new dad, a box of cigars, has also become obsolete. Gift options for new fathers are boundless and can be tailored to the recipient's specific interests, from a father-and-son set of baseball gloves to a skull-and-crossbones-decorated diaper bag.
  
  

Digital Camera

• A point-and-shoot digital camera, especially one that is small enough to fit into a pocket, is the perfect way for a dad to capture any memorable moment during the day, from a baby's first smile to a baby sleeping soundly in a crib.
  
  

Athletic Stroller

• An athletic stroller is ideal for jogging, traversing a rocky trail, or simply looking a little more masculine than a traditional stroller. These strollers can also be folded easily to store in the back of the car and taken to parks, shopping malls, on traveling excursions and even to work.
  
  

Netflix Gift Subscription

• Babies often demand full parental attention during the first months of their life, so going out to see a movie, have dinner, or meet friends can be difficult. A movie subscription service can provide entertainment at home for new parents and even alleviate the need to pack up the baby to go to the video store.
