Father's Day gifts for new dads: 2013 Father's Day Gift Guide

It's so special shopping for Father's Day gifts for new dads or dads-to-be. That's why the next post in our 2013 Father's Day Gift Guide series is just for those lucky fellas. Check out some of these thoughtful ideas in every price range, and let him know just how appreciated he is. Don't forget the sappy card. (Trust us.)

Don't miss our huge Father's Day Gift Guide Giveaway! Details below Framed photo of the baby in a dad tattoo onesie No dad can resist a baby wearing his love for dad on his chest, and this onesie does the trick adorably. Better yet, snap a pic before Father's Day and present it in a great frame. ($15, 13 Days on Etsy)

How to Traumatize Your Children Not that any of us need actual help in this department, but it's a fabulous gift for a new dad or expectant dad with a good sense of humor. Hopefully that's all of them. ($10.97 at The Onion Store)  

Messenger style diaper bag A co-parent of the male persuasion needs his own diaper bag, and ideally, not one with flowers or gingham. Love this messenger-style bag which is about as manly as it gets without sporting diesel stains. The front flap is interchangeable though, should you be in a non-Merle mood. ($79, Dad Gear)

New dad key chain This handstamped aluminum key chain is a great--and affordable--way to commemorate a first Father's Day. Particularly nice is that the artist takes orders right up until June 9. ($12, Her Silver Lining)

Canon Vixia HF R42 Wi-Fi Video Camera With the ability to record HD and MP4 video and built in WiFi for sharing and uploading, this top-of-the-line video camera is remarkable. And exactly what any new dad would love for documenting every little moment of that perfect baby's life. You can even livestream video, and the Baby Mode feature lets you stamp photos with age, height and weight. ($499, Canon)

Father's Day Wall Art Grab this "I like you and naps" art from one of our favorite little Etsy shops, and make sure to sign it from the baby. Then again, it could come from any of us moms, too.  ($15 unframed, Sad Shop)  

MLB Moby Wrap We never thought it would happen, but baby wearing and sports fanaticism have come together. The popular Moby baby carrier is offering 20 teams to choose from right now (sorry, Rockies fans) and they're perfect for babies up to 34 lbs. Whether you bring the baby to the game is up to you. ($62.95 from Moby Wrap)
