This story is part of Gift Guide , our year-round collection of the best gift ideas.
Expectant dads may not have a baby to care for yet, but we can still celebrate them on Father’s Day. Set him up for parenthood with a fun (or helpful) gift and get that guy into the spirit. We’ve curated a thorough list of solid Father’s Day picks, so you’ll be prepped for June 19.
There’s a gift for everyone here, whether you’re aiming for practicality (a diaper bag or coffee), a whimsical present (an illustrated book or custom pint glass) or an indulgence (a nice bottle of wine or a massage gun). The dad-to-be may not understand the significance of some of these items for a while, but he’ll appreciate them once his bundle of joy arrives. If he thinks he needs coffee now, he’s about to have a whole new understanding of caffeine. If he doesn’t really think he needs a diaper bag… well, he definitely does. Get that man a Father’s Day gift.
