It's his first Father's Day—a big deal! He's living the dream, and that means two things: 1) He's happy 2) He's tired. The diaper changing, the late nights, the early mornings. Not to mention he hasn't had time for a workout in months. This is the best thing he's ever done, but it's hardest thing he's ever done. Hence, this Father's Day, no matter if he's your husband, cousin, friend, or... coworker (maybe sit this one out), get him a first Father's Day gift that'll make his first run at parenthood a hell of a lot easier.
