When a baby arrives, the gifts go to the baby and the mom. Which makes sense — they did most of the work. But somewhere in the blur of the first few weeks is a new dad who is also not sleeping, also figuring out something he has never done before, and also not receiving a single thing in the mail addressed to him. He's tired in a way he didn't know was possible. He's terrified and elated in equal measure. He is learning, on the job, with no training, how to be someone's father. He could use something.
The gifts that land for new dads are not baby-themed. He's surrounded by baby things. What he wants is something for him — something that acknowledges he's going through something too, that makes his days slightly more functional, or just says: I see you in there.
