BABY ON THE WAY? INVITE DAD BACK TO THE PARTY!

Here’s the thing about baby showers: they are HEAVY on gifts for Mum and bubba! And look, the logic is sound here: not-yet born bub is gonna require a lot of things, and Mum deserves nice things for ejecting an entire human out of her hoo-ha…but what about Dad? The sleepless nights, countless nappy changes and incessant crying are about to turn his world upside down too!

Back in the old days, men were too busy lighting celebratory cigars and clinking whisky glasses together with friends to even attend the hospital room their wives were in labour within. Whilst we DO NOT subscribe to celebratory activity of this kind, we do reckon the pendulum has swung so far in the other direction that men do not get a look-in as far as growing family celebrations are concerned. Let’s do something about that!

If you feel so inclined to treat Dad to a Congratulations gift too, here’s a collection of hampers for him that will make him feel equally included in the celebrations!

Striking Sam is about as straightforward as celebration gifts get. With a bottle of wine, champagne or Prosecco, and Bahen & Co chocolate, this hamper is as share-able, or not, as he wants it to be!

A man can get around a bottle of champagne as well as anyone! Happy Natalie embodies celebrations, with a bottle of champagne, Ferm Living Ripple Champagne Saucers, a Black Blaze candle, Bramble & Hedge Chai Wild Fig & Raspberry Nougat, and Bahen & Co Milk Chocolate. Sips of champers and nibbles of chocolate between nappy changes is how anyone wants to celebrate…right?!

Whisky Wayne is kickin’ it old school, and the perfect hamper for any man who likes to celebrate like they did in the 40s. This one’s got the goods, with contents that include Nikki Whisky, a Makoto Jigger, Wondaree Macadamias, and Bahen & Co House Blend chocolate. The nights will feel less long, and the wailing stints more bearable, accompanied by a sneaky glass of whisky.

Peckish Peter is one of the more compact celebration hampers for him. Delivered in a gift box, Dad can steal a moment to kick back with a Taylor & Smith bottled cocktail, Bahen & Co Guatemala chocolate, Tiger Buck beef jerky, and Huff & Puff pork crackle. Not for long though, he’s got a baby to bathe!

Coffee. What better gift to give someone who has welcomed a new baby into the household! Mack Black will double as a congratulations gift, and necessary fuel for the journey ahead. This hamper is filled with Pablo & Rusty’s Pourtables Drip Bag Coffee, two Mr Black Espresso Martini’s, Bahen & Co chocolate, Messina Chocolate Hazelnut Spread, and Mr Black Cold Drip Coffee Liqueur

Coffee Chris is also a solid gift for caffeine-relient new Dads! Give him the chance to supplement sleep with caffeine with two Pablo & Rusty’s Nitro Coffee, Pablo & Rusty’s Pourtables Drip Bag Coffee, Mr Black Cold Drip Coffee Liqueur, Pablo & Rusty’s Hot Chocolate Powder, and Bahen & Co chocolate.

Terrific Tony is, very surely, a congratulations gift unlike any they’ve received before! It’s a perfect way to ring in fatherhood, with contents that include White Possum Whisky, or a Gin Flight, Old Bones Chilli Oil, Tiger Buck beef jerky, Huff & Puff pork crackle, and Bahen & Co milk chocolate.

Dad’s gonna feel the love with any one of these hampers! Next time you’ve got a friend expecting, make sure you include her partner in the celebrations! For more gift ideas, whether it’s hampers for him or congratulations hampers, check out the full range within each collection on our site!
