Those early days of becoming a parent are a whirlwind, so Dad may need some time to recharge, bond with loved ones, or enjoy a little levity…and Father’s Day is just around the corner! Here’s some inspiration for a first Father’s Day:
Child Carrier Backpack For Outdoors
If Dad is itching to hit the trail with the new addition, a child carrier that’s rugged enough for hiking will be a helpful piece of equipment to add to the collection. The Osprey Poco LT Lightweight Child Carrier Backpack is one of the top-rated baby carriers for outdoor use, and features plenty of storage space for stashing all of baby’s essentials. It’s also ventilated to keep both parent and child cool on their excursions.
Book of Dad Jokes
Becoming a father is a rite of passage–he can officially be inducted into the Dad Jokes club! If you’re looking for a lighthearted gift that’s sure to bring a smile (and definitely some eye rolls), check out a book of Dad Jokes.
Infant or Child Bike Seat Attachment
Boulder is one of the best cities in the nation for biking. If Dad is a fan of cycling and wants to include the newest member of the family, he’ll get lots of use out of a bike seat attachment. There are options designed for babies, so he’ll soon be able to share his hobby with his littlest side kick.
Spa Treatments at St Julien
If you read my series on what moms really want for Mother’s Day, you may have noticed that St Julien was (unsurprisingly) one of the most popular destinations for spa treatments. For Dad’s first Father’s Day, consider treating him to one (or several) of the luxurious services from the famed St Julien Spa. As any parent knows, a little quiet time goes a long way.
A Babysitter and a Date Night
Looking to keep things simple? You can’t go wrong with giving Dad a night to relax and enjoy some of Boulder’s incredible dining options. If you’re the partner, find a trusted babysitter and try one of our city’s best rooftops (like Corrida or Rosetta Hall). For close loved ones who want to treat Dad to some R&R, consider offering an evening of childcare and encouraging him to take some time to recharge.
Becoming a dad is a momentous milestone. If you’re looking forward to making a special dad or father figure in your life feel special, there are countless ways to show your appreciation here in Boulder. Happy Father’s Day to all dads, and congratulations to those celebrating their first Father’s Day!
