15 Inexpensive Gifts To Get The New Dad In Your Life For His First Father's Day
Target

I'm at the age at which many of my friends and cousins are starting to build families. Given quarantine life, several have recently announced pregnancies. For all of them, this will be their first Father's Day as actual fathers.

On one hand, I can't believe the same men I saw chugging jungle juice out of red solo cups are now going to be in charge of a tiny human life. On the other hand, I couldn't be more thrilled for them, their partners, and the families they're building. They've been rehearsing bad dad jokes for years, and before their children are old enough to understand what they're saying and be embarrassed by their words, now is the biggest and best time to celebrate their new-found fatherhood.

The gifts below are perfect for the various relationships you may have with this first-time father — whether you're interested in more of a gag gift, a funny mug, a little basket of small gifts, or an adorable book for him to read to his new little bundle.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
