What to Collect When You're Expecting

Very Important Bulletin to hip expectant fathers, and the family and friends who love them:

You're pumped about the baby, but maybe you're also a little scared. This famazing T-shirt (available at Fred Flare in May) is here to say, "See dad-to-be, the baby doesn't have to kill your sense of humor! You just have to swap your ubiquitous witty(ish) sloganed/beer/sports-team shirt with me! I will make you the hippest dad on the block!"

Okay so maybe the shirt only talks in my imagination. And maybe in my imagination, New Dad is also wearing it and carrying the actual New Baby in a backpack carrier, to the confusion and amusement of all. But seriously, fantastic. The perfect gift for a guy with a sense of humor.

If that's not his style, here's another gift for a cool daddy-o. This GoodFather DVD will help him learn the baby basics—without being dry, dull, or just plain scary. (Seriously, have you seen some of those childbirth videos? Who wouldn't be scared?) He'll get the need-to-know deets on taking care of the kid, and be entertained while he's at it.

Now there's a parenting T-shirt I would actually wear.

Let me upload a photo of my baby's face, and do some auto-matching for skin tone, and they'll be sitting on a gold mine. If not, it's still a great baby shower gift.

I've seen the GoodFather CD-ROM in person and it rules! Big thumbs up as daddy gift and/or baby shower gift.

Baby on board shirt is cute but what about those dads that are expecting a blue bundle of joy??? My brother would clobber me if i gave him that shirt when he and his wife are having a boy!

I agree with AJ the picture needs to be that of your own child. I would definitely buy it. Someone has got to be able to come up with that.
