But with data from a recent study showing that 85% of dads worldwide would love to be more involved in caring for their new babies, perhaps a present which allows them to do just that might turn out to be the greatest gift of all.

With the world finally opening back up again, we’re all eager to hit the road (even if the distance we’re going is measured in tens rather than thousands of miles). With four carrying positions, the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier One is the ideal way for dads and babies to travel in style and comfort. It can be used from birth all the way up to 3 years, and has a number of additional features, including a cool, flexible mesh fabric option; luxurious padding in the shoulder straps; an ergonomic wide leg position; and a sturdy waist belt for back pressure relief.

For those dads eager to get a headstart on their young one’s education, baby sensory brand Etta Loves, which offers a range of products designed to support and encourage visual development, is sure to hit the right spot. The Keith Haring collaboration, which incorporates the artist’s best-selling prints, is proving especially popular; all the products are made from luxurious, 100% organic cotton and include playmats, sensory strips, muslins, muslin blankets, comforters and teething comforters. If you want to incorporate an exciting new piece of pop art into your home, while also feeling suitably smug about your child’s cognitive progress, then this is the gift for you.
Fashion-conscious fathers are sure to be delighted by the chance to dress their mini-models up in the lovely items created by Blade & Rose. As well offering their signature leggings – designed to embrace the beautiful nappy bottom instead of covering it – the company has now expanded to produce gorgeous clothing sets, hoodies, dresses and swimwear. Currently operational in 33 countries, the brand is the proud winner of multiple parenting awards and counts Robbie Williams and his daughter among their fans.
