When you think of Father’s Day, you probably think of your own old man. (As you should.) But what about all the other dads in your orbit? Chances are you have a family member, a coworker, or a buddy who’s a young, new dad – and who could use a little spoiling this Father’s Day.
We’ve scouted out the best gifts for those guys who are raising the next generation of incredible humans. These are not the boring, generic gifts of your parents’ generation; they’re fun, fashionable, and definitely something a young, new dad would buy for himself (if he ever got half an hour to shop in peace). Most of all, these gifts show you care and appreciate that young dad’s efforts.
This is the Mandatory Father’s Day Gift Guide For Young New Dads.

Solly Baby Wrap
Baby wraps are magic. Not only do they promote bonding, they also calm, comfort, and let dad have his hands free. We like Los Angeles-sewn Solly’s baby sling wrap because it’s lightweight, has a silky feel, and provides a comfortable, custom fit for every dad bod. Made from 100 percent certified Lenzing modal (which is sourced from the pulp of Austrian Beechwood trees), it’s sustainable (unlike mass-produced baby carriers) and comes in tons of attractive colors and patterns.
