I’m Not Going Back to School. But I Desperately Want All of These Back-to-School Supplies, Thank You Very Much.
I’d love to get a gift for my husband. We just had a baby, and I got an amazing push present, but since birth he is doing so much hard work, from burping to diapers. — R.F.
From gifting expert Hannah Morrill:
When my daughter was born, I got my partner one of these “DADA” T-shirts, which he wore with pride while parading around the neighborhood with a baby carrier. (By the way, do you have one of those? This is the one he liked best.) I also like these dad hats, which come in a range of paternal honorifics. Or maybe he needs the ultimate cool dad shoe? A fancy sweatsuit — a comfy hoodie and sweatpants — could also be great for making long days and nights feel a hair more stylish.
If you’re looking for something to rival your amazing push present, though, what about a corded bracelet engraved with your child’s initials?
Honestly, the gift my partner appreciated most in those days was a few sets of these expensive magnetic footies. They sped up his time at the changing table by at least 50 percent, so they’re really like giving the gift of time — which is always the best gift of all.
