What do you get a dad who buys everything himself?

Look for upgrades he would not bother buying, such as a better speaker or a multi-device charger. Gifts connected to a hobby, like golf practice aids, also tend to get real use.

Is a golf training aid a good gift for someone who golfs?

Yes, especially for winter months when courses are closed. Putting mats and swing aids let him practise at home, and they suit casual players as well as keen ones.

What is a good first Christmas gift for a new dad?

A baby carrier or a mobile is useful in the early months. Pair it with something personal for him, since new parents often get gifts only for the baby.

How to choose for your dad

Start with his favourite hobby and look for gear that helps him practise or enjoy it more often.
Replace something worn out or annoying, like the phone charger he keeps borrowing or a tangle of old cables.
For a new dad, a baby carrier or mobile is practical, and it helps to check what the family already has.
If he plays billiards, accessories like cues, chalk or a cue case suit most skill levels.

Usually safe to skip

Novelty gifts with jokes about dads, which get a laugh and then sit in a drawer.
Advanced sports gear for a hobby he only dabbles in, since it can feel like pressure.
Complicated gadgets with lots of setup, because they often never get plugged in.
