Gag Gift: Daddy’s Diaper Changing Toolbox
Want a gag gift for a new dad? Then I recommend a diaper changing toolbox with lots of fun and functional baby gear! There are various diaper changing toolboxes around and they contain ‘useful’ things for dad to be like:
* a mask with a toxic fume filter, so dad can breathe easier
* goggles – for better eye protection
* tweezers – to easily remove the diaper
* ear/nose plugs – can be used…
* baby wipes – well, even mommy needs them when changing diapers
* a bio hazard bag and rubber gloves – straight from the tweezers to the bag is the best thing to do with the baby’s nappy
DIY Daddy Diaper Changing Toolbox and other homemade new dad gift ideas.
Daddy’s diaper bag
A daddy diaper bag is a classic new dad gift! It can never be wrong. Dad hates carrying mommy’s hip-style diaper bag with such a striking pattern! And maybe in pink!? The modern dad needs something cool and manly! A dad diaper bag is awesome and especially designed and designed for men. A messenger bag is cool for a dad and a backpack, too. Daddy will be proud to have his own bag to go out with baby 😉
New Dad Travel Mug / Beer Glass
Depending on the new dad’s personal preferences, get him a colorful dad mug or a funny ‘dad evolution’ mug for his daily coffee at home and / or at work. A travel mug might be a good idea too. Also cute: a beer glass for his (everyday) beer. ;

They are really cute:
Digital Camera Or Camcorder
If the new dad doesn’t have a digital camera or Video camcorder yet – or if he just has an outdated model – there’s no better chance to get him (a new one)! Baby photos and little movies will bring joy and fun to life. Also, when the baby is an adult, he can also enjoy all the childhood memories with the parents.
This is a really cool gift from mommy to daddy or from grandparents-to-be for their son.
