Latest Father's Day Gifts For New Dads

First Time Fathers Day Gift Guide

From cuddles to chaos and countless firsts, the journey into fatherhood is unlike any other. This Father’s Day, celebrate a new dad’s debut with unforgettable experiences crafted just for him.

There’s something magical about every dads very first Father’s Day. It’s a moment etched in memory—a celebration in the whirlwind of nappies, night feeds and baby giggles. For a new dad, this day is more than a date on the calendar. It’s a badge of honour, a proud step into an entirely new chapter of life.

This isn't about novelty mugs or other material gifts that only take up space on the shelves. A first Father’s Day deserves something deeper, more meaningful—something that captures the wonder and the pure heart of becoming a dad. We, at Red Letter Days, believe that first-time dads deserve not just a gift, but a memory—something that says, “You’re doing amazing. Now, here’s something just for you.” Whether he’s a thrill-seeker, a foodie, an airplane enthusiast or a man in need of some relaxation, we’ve handpicked ten of the most exciting new experiences. 

These are the latest additions to our collection, curated for Father’s Day 2025—and they’re anything but ordinary.

1. Triple Supercar Driving Blast & Passenger Ride

Let him swap the baby buggy for a Bugatti. This high-octane day out lets him drive three dream supercars and ride shotgun with a pro at heart-racing speed. For the dad who never lost his love for a good adrenaline rush.

2. Giraffe Lodge Stay with Dinner, Breakfast & Safari at Port Lympne

Wake up to giraffes peering through the window. Yes, really. This wild overnight experience includes a luxury lodge, gourmet meals, and an unforgettable safari for two. Ideal for the dad who’s ready for his next big adventure.

3. iFLY Indoor Skydiving for Two

Perfect for the new dad who dreams of flying (without the baby carrier). Feel the rush of skydiving in a wind tunnel—a safe but thrilling adventure that will have him floating on cloud nine.

4. Helicopter Flight Over London

Why not see the world from a new angle—literally? This once-in-a-lifetime ride soars over London’s skyline, giving him a bird’s-eye view and a whole new perspective to share with his little one someday.

5. Two Merlin Thrilling Theme Park Tickets

For the dad who’s still a big kid at heart, this adrenaline-pumping day out is pure joy. With entry to one of Merlin’s top UK theme parks—think Alton Towers, Thorpe Park or Chessington—he can scream his heart out on rollercoasters, laugh through water rides, and relive his youth in the best way possible.

6. Afternoon Tea on the Thames – The Tattershall Castle

For the new dad who’s all about quality time and calm waters. Aboard a floating pub with stunning views, he’ll enjoy scones, finger sandwiches and a warm cuppa—because he’s earned a breather.

7. Luxury Spa Day at Lumi Spa with 50-Minute Treatment

Sleepless nights? Sore shoulders from endless baby-carrying? Say no more. This indulgent spa experience in central London offers the reset he didn’t know he needed. Massage, peace, and total relaxation included.

8. Marco Pierre White Steakhouse – Three-Course Meal with Cocktail

Because steak tastes better when you’ve earned it. Treat him to a fine dining experience with a legendary three-course meal and cocktail in a setting as sophisticated as his dad jokes are not.

9. Boeing 747 Simulator Flying Lesson

Let him take control of a jumbo jet (virtually, of course). This immersive flight simulator experience is a gift that says, “You’re the captain now.” Just make sure he doesn’t try it with the family saloon.

10. RHS Garden Wisley Visit with Afternoon Tea

He might not admit it, but peace and nature have probably never looked so good. A serene stroll through one of the UK’s most beautiful gardens followed by a classic afternoon tea—it’s wholesome, it’s British, and it’s utterly calming.

Make His First Father’s Day A Legendary One

Whether he's been up at 3 a.m. with a lullaby or learning to master the one-handed nappy change, every new dad deserves a moment to celebrate himself. These experiences aren’t just gifts—they’re gratitude. A way of saying, “Well done. You’re smashing this.”
