New Dad Survival Kit

New Dad Survival Kit

mug // body suit// diapers // wipes // pacifier


Since technically this is sort of David's first Father's Day I wanted to put together a cute little gift basket for him. He will be returning from a trip in the mountains on Father's Day and I think it would be fun to come home to a goodie basket of new dad essentials.

Mug: To be filled with lots of iced coffee and beer I am sure!

Diapers/Wipes: Self explanatory, it's 2014 you WILL be changing diapers! We are already signed up for the Honest bundles to be delivered to our door. Bonus Target will start selling this brand sometime this month!

Magazine: He can bring this while we are in the delivery room. David loves to fish and I don't know why I have never thought to subscribe him to a fun magazine like this one.

Hand Sanitizer: Newborn + Germs = no bueno

5 hour energy: For those late nights when mama pumps into a bottle :)

Snacks: Again for the hospital so he doesn't have to complain about the gross vending machine snacks.

Mask: For those diaper changes and blowouts!

Did anyone else celebrate dad's to be before your babe's arrival? Anything else I should include?
