Let’s be honest—new dads get a lot of burp cloths, but not nearly enough bacon.
That first Father’s Day? It’s a big deal. It’s the moment when all the sleepless nights, late-night bottle runs, and tactical diaper changes finally pay off with a “Happy First Father’s Day!”—and hopefully, something better than a novelty tie.
At Manly Man Co., we don’t do teddy bears or neckties. We craft meat bouquets, ammo can gift sets, and unforgettable edible gear for dads who’ve earned more than just a pat on the back. If you’re on the hunt for first Father’s Day gift ideas that are bold, badass, and actually useful (or delicious), you’re in the right place.
1. Dads Deserve Flowers—Made of Jerky
Regular flowers wilt. These? They get devoured.
Our signature Beef Jerky Flower Bouquet is the ultimate upgrade for any meat-loving man. Handcrafted with jerky “petals” in bold flavors like Original, Teriyaki, and Hot, each bouquet is carefully arranged with the kind of craftsmanship usually reserved for roses—but way more satisfying.
Available in a full dozen or half dozen, it’s both a visual stunner and a mouthwatering snack. Whether he’s a new dad or just scored his first full night of sleep in weeks, this edible bouquet says, “You’re crushing it” like nothing else can.
It’s not just a snack—it’s a statement: “I survived newborn life, and all I got was this ridiculously delicious bouquet.”
2. Want Sentimental? Say It With Meat.
When “I love you, Dad” meets beef jerky, magic happens.
Nothing says “Happy First Father’s Day” like a love note carved into a slab of beef jerky. The Meat Card™ is our most unexpectedly heartfelt gift: a customizable slab of savory jerky, laser-etched with your personal message. Whether it’s “Thanks for all the 3AM diaper changes,” “Love You, Daddy,” or “You’re my hero in flannel,” this edible keepsake is as meaningful as it is meaty.
It’s quirky, clever, and guaranteed to make him laugh—right before he eats it.
Because when you want to speak from the heart, it helps if it’s also delicious.
3. Gift Like a Legend with the Jerky Ammo Can
Fatherhood is no joke—and for the dad who’s tackled spit-up and swaddling with military-grade endurance, this one’s for him.
The Best Jerky Ammo Can Gift Basket is the ultimate reward. This rugged, no-frills gift comes packed with premium jerky and meat snacks, all delivered in a real, reusable ammo can. It’s built for dads who appreciate both bold flavor and durable gear, and it’s perfect for tailgating, road trips, or just fueling up between nap times. Whether he’s a first-time father or a snack-loving veteran, this basket brings the firepower.
Because when Dad’s been battling sleepless nights, he deserves a gift that’s just as tough as he is.
4. Go Personal with a Gift He’ll Actually Use
Sometimes, the most thoughtful gifts aren’t flashy—they’re functional.
The Personalized Bifold Wallet combines functionality with a custom touch, crafted from high-quality leather and laser-etched with up to three characters. It’s slim, sleek, and designed for dads who prefer their gear simple but significant. Whether it's his initials, his baby’s name, or a nickname he swore he'd never answer to—this wallet becomes a daily reminder of his new favorite title: Dad.
It’s slim, sturdy, and designed for everyday carry. Kind of like Dad.
A gift that’s practical, personal, and proudly dad-approved.
