A Father's Day Gift Guide for New Dads and Dads-to-Be

Becoming a dad can be an at once terrifying and incredible prospect. Changing diapers, cleaning up messes, and long nights spent awake, glued to the baby cam are coupled with experiences that amount to the most rewarding ventures in a person's life. Whether it's your best friend, brother, cousin, or partner, show your favorite man that you're there for him as he transitions into becoming someone else's favorite.

This one is for the dads who are figuring it out as they go. For the ones who are pros and for the ones who can admit that they don't know. 

Here is a selection of house-care, baby-care, and daddy-care items that the father-to-be will need (he just doesn't know it yet).
