Gift ideas needed for husband who is a new Dad

Hello, I'm looking for birthday gift ideas for my 35yo husband who is the proud Dad of a three week old. In particular I'd like to hear from other Dads what gifts they would have liked in their first year as a Dad - baby related or not.

Previously I've got him experience days, jewellery, foodie goods, clothes, massage bookings , workout kit, etc. Budget is ideally under £200.

Hooray Heroes personalised book for dads. Voucher for a family photoshoot, the more relaxed style shots.

Framed photo of him and baby for his bedside table or office desk.

Then whatever he would normally like

Don't just give him baby related stuff.
How would you like it if all your birthday gifts were about you being a mum? I'm sure you'd want to be seen as person in your own right for a birthday. Give him gifts that fit with his interests and hobbies, like you normally would.

This would have been the only baby related gift I would have really liked. Most other stuff seems like that to me.

I’d go with more of an experience day that could be used in 6-12 months rather than now. When I was a new dad I was very happy to just enjoy that experience with my wife and daughter (and sleep whenever I could). But later on just getting to do something I enjoy, or a child free night or two was what I’d appreciate most.

You could get a star map of when you first met or a map of the sky when your child was born - Like this.
