What to look for in a Christmas gift for a dad to be
Practical baby kit helps dads feel involved from day one.
Check with the mum to be what you have already bought or been given.
A guide book helps first time dads know what to expect.
Keepsake gifts mark a special last Christmas before the baby arrives.
Think about their routine. Gifts that fit into everyday life tend to be used the most, long after Christmas is over.
Add a personal touch. A handwritten card or a note about why you chose the gift makes it feel more special.
Keep receipts. A gift receipt makes it easy to swap a colour, size or style if something is not quite right.
Mind the budget. A thoughtful gift does not need to be expensive, and smaller practical items are often appreciated just as much.
Think about experiences. Tickets, a day out or time spent together can be as memorable as a physical gift.
Check delivery dates. Order early in December, as delivery times can stretch in the run-up to Christmas.
Read the product details. Sizes, compatibility and what is included vary, so check the listing carefully before ordering.
Wrap it well. Thoughtful wrapping and a card make even a small gift feel special on Christmas morning.
Think about storage. Check they have space for the gift, especially larger items.
Consider quality over quantity. One well-chosen gift is often better than several things they will not use.
Bundle a set. The Dear Daddy Mug from Bump, 11oz, the The Expectant Dad's Survival Guide and the Infantino Flip Advanced 4-in-1 Baby Carrier together came to £50.33 at the prices checked.
