Dads Have Baby Shower Gift Ideas Too!
by Ethan West
I know what you're thinking. What on earth is a dad doing writing about baby shower advice? Most men look at a room full of women opening gifts of baby clothes and diapers like a hospital ward treating people infected with the ebola virus. Admittedly, I've only been dragged to two co-ed showers. They both involved the men watching football in the basement while trying to pretend that they were not at a baby shower. Nobody complained, however, about stuffing ourselves with the delicious food and snacks that the ladies upstairs barely touched.
Here's the insane part. I actually ADORE baby showers. Perhaps I should explain myself. In my pre-daddy days, I willingly spent my evenings obsessively researching products that I was thinking of buying. For three hours every evening (and I must emphasize EVERY evening), I'd read and watch reviews on electronics, cameras, cars etc as a type of entertainment. Each purchase we made was carefully researched and needed to have universally exceptional reviews. This made this buying process extremely slow and painful for my new wife. At a pace that can only be described as glacial, we started to amass some super cool stuff that most people had never seen, or had been aware of but didn't know enough about it to make a purchase. My phone started ringing on a regular basis from friends and family asking what products I would suggest for them. I'm always looking for excuses to research new products and help my loved ones in the process.
Skip forward half a decade to my wife's announcement that she was pregnant with our first child. After the initial thrill, we realized that we'd need to get some basic things to get ready for the future arrival. We felt a bit bewildered with no idea what babies needed let alone what products were any good. This is what I'd been preparing for.
I dove head first into researching the find the coolest, safest, most practical and top rated products for my baby. As an added benefit, I enjoyed every minute of it. Eventually my wife and I became known as the family with all the best baby stuff. Relatives, friends, and complete strangers began asking me what we would recommend for them because they had heard that I was a complete baby gear nerd. Helping people is what I love to do, which probably explains why I am a school teacher by profession.
A strange baby product research obsession combined with the earnest desire to help other families has brought me to a place where I kind of like baby showers. Please don't take this the wrong way. Sticking a fork in my eye would be a welcome alternative to attending a baby shower. They simply give me the opportunity to assist gift buyers in getting something that the baby and mom-to-be will love and actually use.
