The 20 best Father's Day gifts for new dads in 2024

Keeping your coffee or tea hot can be difficult while you're dashing around the house on a busy morning. That's where the Ember Temperature Control Smart Mug comes in. It connects to an app on your phone so you can control the temperature. Yahoo's tech editor, Rick Broida, named it the best heated coffee mug of the year.

Broida said: "Here's what I love most about the Ember: I don't have to turn it on. Once I pour a liquid in, it immediately starts heating. When the drink is gone, it turns off. It's a minor thing, but I love not having to futz with a power button or temperature settings. I don't really even have to use the app after the first time; once I've set my preferred temp, it's "locked in" until I change it."

Remember reel viewers? Well, you can make your own with up to seven images of your greatest moments together. It's a fun keepsake and coffee table accessory, and a unique way to share your favorite photos. You can choose between a few colors of view finders and purchase additional reels if you can't choose just seven images.

This moment only happens once, so mark the occasion with a personalized picture book that he can read to his new bundle of joy. It's told from the baby's point of view (cue the tears) and covers all of the firsts that the two will experience together — first steps, first songs sung and so much more. Tailor it by adding their names and choosing from an array of skin tones, hair colors and styles.

Note: Books are printed and shipping in 2-4 business days, which means it may not arrive in time. 

That new glider he convinced you to buy ahead of your little one's arrival? Well, it has his name on it — but actually. Not only will this pillow give him a little extra back support, but it'll ensure that he has just what he needs — snacks and unlimited entertainment — within reach when he's up with the baby.

Note: Select expedited shipping at checkout to guarantee that it'll arrive by Father's Day.

The more he reads to his baby, the more his little one will be able to recognize his voice. This picture book, which also comes in a version for fathers and daughters, will keep even the littlest ones engaged — and maybe it'll even bring a few tears to Dad's eyes.

In the early days, there's (understandably) a lot of emphasis on the relationship between Mom and baby. This babywearing shirt will help Dad bond with his baby anytime, anywhere — no wrapping, buckling or cumbersome carriers required. It's just as much a gift for the baby as it is for Dad: "Our son doesn’t like the swing, bouncer or regular baby carrier but loves this shirt. He almost immediately falls asleep and my husband gets to bond with the baby while working, doing the dishes or lounging," one five-star reviewer wrote.

Note: Select 2-day shipping to guarantee arrival by Father's Day.

No one appreciates a good night's rest quite like a new parent. And since time is precious, he can use this light system to fall asleep even faster. Choose between eight- and 20-minute sessions — just inhale as the light gets brighter and exhale as it dims.

In the beginning, he needs a diaper bag stocked with all the supplies — diaper cream, extra onesies, pacifiers and the whole dang kitchen sink — but as his baby gets older, he’ll need less and less. When the time comes, he’ll be happy to have this vegan leather pack, complete with a waterproof pocket for wipes, a detachable changing pad and built-in pacifier hook.

How can you possibly sum up the experience of fatherhood in a single photo? Get him a digital picture frame so he can cycle through his favorite moments and add more as the years go on. Plus, if you buy one for the grandparents (hint, hint), you can set up a "family circle" playlist for easy sharing between frames.

Because he needs to work smarter, not harder. Instead of juggling a baby and a phone, he can dedicate both hands to his pride and joy (I’m talking about his baby, obviously) and mount his phone nearby. He can clamp it to any stable surface — a desk, end table, bedframe, you name it — and adjust the neck to his liking.

Now, this might be the sweetest LEGO build ever. Turn one of his baby’s photos into a mosaic made up of more than 4,500 bricks in five colors — white, light gray, dark gray, black and yellow. Once he’s done assembling it, he can proudly put it on display for all to see.

Note: Standard shipping takes 3-5 business days. Select express shipping for Father's Day arrival. 

At this point, he's barely functioning if coffee isn't pumping through his veins. Sign him up for a monthly coffee subscription for the next three ($60), six ($120) or 12 months ($240) and he’ll get a fresh bag tailored to his tastebuds. When he redeems it, he’ll take a quick quiz about his preferences — ground or whole bean, dark or light — and Trade will tackle the rest.

I'm normally against giving mugs as gifts, but then again, it kind of feels like a rite of passage for dads, don’t ya think? This color-changing mug is actually cool: It reads "Cool Dad" when it's empty and changes to "Hot Dad" when something warm is poured inside.

Note: This item is backordered and expected to ship in late June. 

It's only a matter of time until the dad jokes start flowing. But when he needs a helping hand, he can press this button and it'll spit out a corny, Dad-approved one-liner.

He doesn't need an excuse to wear matching outfits with his mini me, but his first Father's Day is a pretty good one. He'll wear this T-shirt as a badge of honor, while his little will be the ultimate hype (wo)man. Shirts are sold separately — onesies go for $23 and the adult T-shirts start at $30. 

One way to make the baby's witching hour a little more bearable? A comfy 'fit that can be thrown on without any work or thought. This beloved bathrobe from Brooklinen is your best bet — it's incredibly plush and durable. As one reviewer put it, it's "like your favorite towel giving you a big hug." Pick from 11 colors, including everything from classic neutrals to seasonal hues.

Every new parent faces growing pains — sometimes, literally. Between all the lifting and holding, he’s bound to feel a few aches and pains in his neck, back and shoulders. When he has a moment to spare, he can drape this heated massager over his shoulders and adjust between three speeds to work out any annoying kinks.

Chances are, he's spending more time at home than ever before. A trusty pair of house shoes, like these comfy cushioned slides from Lululemon, will give him the support he needs. Most reviewers say they run big, so consider sizing down if he's between sizes.

The right pair of joggers is a staple for walks around the neighborhood, errands or even the laziest of Sundays at home. Vuori gets it right — this pair is soft and stretchy but has all the technical details (like a zip pocket and reflective accents) for when he's on the move.
