The best gifts for every kind of dad this Christmas

This practical new dad parka is a lifesaver during winter. It features a detachable baby pouch that zips over baby carriers or slings, so Dad can enjoy some quality bonding time while keeping your little one warm and cosy.

What I love most about this jacket is that it’s stylish enough for everyday wear. Once the pouch is zipped off, it becomes a sleek and padded parka perfect for solo outings. It’s like giving two gifts in one: a practical parenting essential and a cool new addition to his wardrobe. Bonus points for the gunmetal grey colour and all the handy pockets—it’s a new dad’s dream!

We all know how chaotic mornings can get when you're trying to get everyone out the door—especially when you're juggling breakfast, school bags, and getting yourself ready. The Echo Spot helps Dad streamline his routine. Imagine him waking up to his favourite music or podcast, getting reminders for the day, and even controlling the room's temperature—all before he's even out of bed! It’s like having a personal assistant to help him get organised. And with its sleek, space-saving design, it fits seamlessly into any bedroom. Plus, the added privacy protection ensures he can use it without any worries. It’s the kind of smart tech that makes life just a little bit easier for busy dads.

Review: “I’m absolutely loving the 2024 Echo Spot! It’s more than just a smart alarm clock—it’s a complete home assistant packed into a sleek, stylish design. The vibrant sound is surprisingly rich for its size, making it perfect for waking up with music or checking in on the news. The integration with Alexa is flawless, allowing me to control my smart home, check the weather, and even manage my calendar—all hands-free. The display is sharp, and the clock is easy to read even from across the room. The smart alarms are customisable, and the added screen makes it a big upgrade from standard alarm clocks. If you’re looking to add a smart assistant to your nightstand that looks great and works even better, this is the one!”

If your gifting a dad who is the type to go all out for Christmas, this Men's Festive Friends Fair Isle Pattern Jumper from JoJo Maman Bébé is the perfect way for him to get in the holiday spirit.

For the dad who’s always on the hunt for great reads, The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read is a must-have. Written by renowned psychotherapist Philippa Perry, this #1 Sunday Times bestseller is packed with insightful advice on parenting, relationships, and self-growth.

It’s not just a book—it’s a guide to understanding how our past shapes our parenting and how to build better, stronger relationships with our kids. With practical tips, stories, and a non-judgmental approach, it helps dads navigate parenting with empathy and wisdom. Whether he’s expecting, already a dad, or looking to improve his parenting, this book will provide invaluable advice that he’ll cherish for years to come.

Review: “I was dubious about buying parenting books, however decided to take the plunge as this book was recommended to me. This has really been an eye-opener. Some parts were uncomfortable to read as it makes you reflect back on your childhood and relate your past to how you are acting right now to your own children. I recommend reading this book for parents-to-be, parents or those who deal a lot with kids.”

Élan Vital Eau de Parfum from To The Fairest isn’t just a fragrance—it’s a whole vibe for dads. With earthy vetiver, oakmoss, and patchouli, it’s a scent that’s both calming and bold, perfect for any day. It’s the kind of fragrance that feels just right—grounding and refreshing, without being overpowering.

What I love most is how restorative this fragrance feels—it’s like taking a deep breath in the middle of a toddler tantrum. Perfect for dads who need a moment of zen after chasing kids around all day, this perfume bottle is like a mini vacation. And here’s a fact: patchouli is known for its calming powers, so it’s basically like a dad’s personal stress ball—except it smells way better!

Trust me, it's the gift that keeps on keeping him cool, even when the chaos level is at "full meltdown." The best part? It’s a unisex scent, so you can sneak a spritz too (because who doesn’t love sharing?).

Does your partner love spending time in the kitchen ala Master Chef? The Always Pan Pro is the ultimate upgrade for dads who enjoy cooking.

Review: "This pan is amazing! It’s super versatile and doesn’t have any of the harmful chemicals you get with coated pans. I love the no-coating nonstick surface—it’s built to last and so easy to use. It feels like a pro-level pan but works perfectly for everyday cooking. The construction is impressive too, with layers of stainless steel, aluminum, and a tough titanium interior that’s super durable and handles crazy high heat (up to 535°C).

Review: “Ordered for Father’s Day, was better than I expected, brilliant quality, perfect size, would definitely order again and would definitely recommend, makes a beautiful present/keepsake.”

For the dad who loves to unwind and enjoy a bit of peace at home, the Atelier Noite Amber Night Candle is exactly what he needs. The warm, rich scent of amber combined with the earthy precious woods is perfect for creating a cosy, relaxing atmosphere.

It’s practical, comfortable, and built for real life. On colder days, I comfortably layer it under a heavier coat, but on decent days, it’s perfect on its own. The subtle colour keeps it understated, and the pockets are a standout feature—two zippered side pockets and a chest pocket for all the essentials. The tall collar adds extra warmth when the air gets sharp. It’s rugged (my style), dependable, and exactly what I need in a jacket.”

Let’s talk about one of the most underappreciated yet essential gifts for dads: underwear. Sure, it may seem like a simple choice, but trust me, it’s one he’ll thank you for. Reebok’s Everyday Comfort Sports Trunks are everything a dad could need in his daily essentials—breathable, moisture-wicking, and designed for both workout and everyday wear.

These sports trunks might not be the most exciting gift on the surface, but they’re one of those little luxuries dads often forget to treat themselves to. Most of the time, they’ll wear the same tired pairs, but when you gift him these, he’ll realise how much better his day can be when he’s comfy in the essentials. Every dad will appreciate having a fresh set of quality undies, especially when they’re as practical and comfy as these.

When it comes to dad comfort, the Chelsea Peers Fleece Aztec Print Sweatshirt & Jogger Co-ord takes lounging to the next level. This set is perfect for dads who deserve nothing less than to feel cosy all day long but who abhors dressing robes like mine.

Made from recycled materials, this co-ord isn't just comfy, it's also sustainable—a win for both comfort and the environment. The soft fleece fabric is ideal for movie nights, Saturday mornings, or just those lazy days where the whole family piles onto the couch. And with the fun, Aztec-inspired print, it adds a bit of personality to his loungewear, keeping him stylish even when he’s at his most relaxed.

Sometimes, the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart. This personalised leather bracelet from Not On The High Street is stylish, meaningful and minimalist, making it a perfect choice for sentimental dads. 

You can customise it with your child’s name, a special date, or even a short message. It’s a simple but powerful way to remind him of how much he’s loved every time he wears it. It’s thoughtful, timeless, and guaranteed to bring a smile to his face.

Review: “I surprised my husband with this leather bracelet that has a short engraved message, and he absolutely loved it! His face lit up when he saw it. There’s just something so special about a gift made just for them. It came in a cute little box with a bracelet pouch, all nicely packaged. I’d definitely recommend it—it’s the perfect thoughtful gift! The leather looks durable, has a nice finish, and the snap closure is a huge plus (I’m not a fan of hooks!).”

If your partner loves feeling pampered but isn’t one for over-the-top gifts, the L’Occitane Eau des Baux Collection is a perfect choice. This fragrance set is all about understated luxury, with a warm, spicy scent that’s rich without being overpowering.

What I love about this set is that it’s more than just a fragrance—it’s a full grooming experience. The shower gel and deodorant stick pair perfectly with the Eau de Toilette, ensuring that Dad stays smelling fresh from morning to night. Plus, the elegant packaging makes it feel like a real treat, while still being something he’ll actually use.
