The Gift He Didn't Know He Needed
He's got the nursery set up and the car seat installed — but does he have anything for himself? Poppa Packs is a fully customizable hospital bag for the expecting dad in your life.
The Process
Choose from three backpacks based on his style — from a clean everyday carry to a fully-loaded tactical bag built for the long haul.
Add the things he'll actually use — snacks, entertainment, hygiene essentials, and a few surprises that'll make him smile.
We pack everything and ship it straight to your door. Hand it to him before the big day and watch his face.
"Everyone remembers to take care of mom.
We built this for the guy standing next to her."
The Builder
Start with a bag, then fill it with things he'll actually appreciate.
A clean, no-frills 20L daypack. Gets the job done — just like he will.
A premium 30L with a laptop sleeve — so he looks like he has it together even if he doesn't.
A tactical 40L that tells the whole maternity ward he means business. For the dad who goes all in.
Select everything you want packed inside. We handle the rest.
30-pack. He'll sweat through a "calm" labor. Make sure he's covered.
48-hour protection. A thoughtful addition everyone in the room will appreciate.
Travel-size. Fresh breath for the most important introduction of his life.
Bamboo handle. He's a new dad now. He's eco-conscious whether he knows it or not.
Hospital air is brutal. Don't let him meet his kid looking rough.
For when he's been awake 30 hours pretending he's not tired.
501 groan-worthy jokes. He's got hours to kill and a whole new identity to lean into.
Popular Mechanics. What'd you think we meant? He'll love the joke.
100 puzzles. He'll finish two of them. That's fine.
Waterproof deck. Something to keep his hands busy during the long stretches.
A great read for the waiting room — or at least something to have visible so he looks prepared.
He'll forget to eat. These will keep him upright when it counts.
M&Ms included. Because you care about him and we're not monsters.
Hour 18 hits different. You'll be his hero for thinking ahead.
Hospital coffee is an affront to humanity. Send him with his own.
High protein, easy to eat with one hand. He'll need fuel for the long haul.
USB-A + USB-C. His phone dying is not an option on the most important day of his life.
Three full phone charges so he can document every moment without sweating the battery.
Hospital chairs are medieval torture devices. Give him a fighting chance at a chair-nap.
For his nap window only — he'll need to read the room. But when the time is right, these are gold.
He's about to hold a newborn. This one's a no-brainer.
Embroidered. Let the whole maternity ward know he's the man of the hour.
Hospital AC runs at "Arctic Research Station." Keep him comfortable so he can stay present.

From the People
"I got this for my brother before his first kid. He texted me from the hospital at 3am just to say thank you for the snacks. Best $60 I've ever spent."
"I got this for my husband as a surprise. He was so touched that someone thought about him for once — everyone else was focused on the baby."
"Our whole friend group chipped in and built the biggest pack for our buddy. He cried a little. The Dad Joke Book did not help. Perfect gift."
