Valentine's Day Gift Ideas for New Dads: 4 Easy Gifts He’ll Actually Use (And Love)

Valentine’s Day with a baby is a whole new vibe. You want to show your partner how much you and the little one appreciate him, but what do you get a man who suddenly seems to have everything?

If you are Googling what to get a boyfriend for Valentine’s Day or what to get a husband for Valentine’s Day in that first year of parenthood, think simple, useful and genuinely enjoyable.

Here are four easy, no stress Valentine’s Day gifts new dads will actually be happy to receive.

1. The Perfect Shoe for Every Part of His New Life

Nursery drop offs, pram walks, food shop runs and the rare night out that starts and ends early. A new dad’s life involves a lot of walking. One good pair of shoes that works everywhere is always a win.

Check out Nike for everyday trainers that go with everything, adidas for comfort that still feels put together and Crocs for the ultimate dad shoe: taking the bins out, quick errands and full dad confidence.

2. A Romantic Meal In With Zero Planning

Booking dinner out with a baby can feel wildly optimistic. A great meal at home is far more realistic and far more appreciated. These are perfect easy wins if you are wondering what to buy your partner for Valentine’s Day but do not want to add more to the evening’s workload:

Gousto for an easy but impressive dinner, washed down with Wine52 or Whisky52 for a relaxed drink once the bedtime routine is done, followed by Venchi for a no effort dessert upgrade.

3. Beer, Pizza and Something That Makes Him Laugh

Sometimes the best Valentine’s Day gift is leaning into comfort and familiarity rather than forcing romance. This one works especially well if you are stuck on Valentine’s Day gift ideas for him at the last minute.

A funny, honest card from Scribbler, a few cold beers from BrewDog and a Domino’s delivery because nobody wants to cook or wash up. PERFECT.

4. A Romantic Games Night (Once the Baby Is Asleep)

This one stays until last for a reason. Once the house is finally quiet, a lighthearted games night can be an easy way to reconnect without pressure or big plans.

Lovehoney has the perfect playful games made for couples who want to laugh, flirt and feel like themselves again, even if it only lasts 20 minutes.
