Survival Kits for New Dads from DadGifts.com

As we are nearing the end of this pregnancy journey, I realized that there have been a lot of gifts for the baby and even a few for me, but none for dad. So, I was extremely excited to be able to gift this new survival kit for new dads from DadGifts.com to my partner.

We both agreed that it made him feel special and more a part of the journey. I wanted to capture some emotional expressions, but instead, he kept a straight face the entire time.

If you are unfamiliar with DadGifts.com, it is an online company with a host of dad gifts uniquely curated to show your love and appreciation with the world’s finest selection of Dad Gifts. Gifts come in a range of prices, as well as offerings.

For example, there are a variety of kits for new dads varying in themes, but there are also a lot of other unique gifts such as the Old Fashioned Carry On Cocktail Kit and the Dueling Pistols Coaster Box Set. These gifts are perfect for any and all occasions. And, while these are just a few that I love, there are so many others to choose from.

Now, that we have covered that, let’s get into the excitement of what arrived in “our” new dad survival kit! Don’t you love how I used “our”? Haha!

New Dad Survival Kit: The Ultimate

For starters, our kit was The Ultimate Kit. This handcrafted kit has everything a new dad needs to “tackle the rigors of fatherhood”, according to DadGIfts.com.

The Ultimate Kit includes:

1 diaper bag & changing pad
1 copy of Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
1 copy of My Quotable Kid
1 Carry on Cocktail kit
1 6 oz. stainless steel flask
1 sprinkle ice cream cone silicone teether
2 expandable survival towels
1 mustache pacifier
1 Emergency Tech Kit
1 Vintage Camera Photo Album
2 protein bars
2 packets of ibuprofen
1 tin of caffeinated mints
3 packets of Emergen-C
1 pair of earplugs
2 stain removal wipes

What We Love!

What we love about the variety of this kit is that it includes both fun and practical items. For example, as I am preparing the hospital bag for the baby and myself, my partner can transform this bag into his hospital bag. Wouldn’t that make sense?

While he wouldn’t need the baby items just yet, he could benefit from having the reading material to keep him occupied, the protein bars to keep him fueled, as well as some of the medications, and earplugs.

Speaking of the protein bars, I can’t wait for him to open them, because I want to try them myself. The flavors seem like they are going to be so delicious, especially the Chocolate Almond Butter!

So many of the contents are actually practical items that we take when we have an overnight hospital stay and believe me, there have been a few over the past two years.

With this in mind, below are the items from the Ultimate Kit that would be ideal to keep in the diaper bag during the hospital stay.

1 copy of Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
1 copy of My Quotable Kid
1 Emergency Tech Kit
2 protein bars
2 packets of ibuprofen
1 tin of caffeinated mints
3 packets of Emergen-C
1 pair of earplugs

Final Thoughts

Overall, we are so pleased with the curation of this Ultimate Survival Kit for New Dads. It’s a unique gift that’s both fun and practical. I’m sure any dad having a new baby would appreciate this gift and feel a great sense of joy and inclusiveness.
