Now more than ever, men are taking a more active role in parenting and should be treated with similar respect to an expecting mother.

From steps for preparing the house for a new baby to taking care of and understanding a partner’s physical and mental state while getting ready to welcome a new little one, this guide has everything an expecting dad could need.
#2 Letting Dad Get in on Memory Making: Big Dot of Happiness: Daddy’s First Milestones
Being a part of and nurturing the emotional bond between parent and child is crucial for any child’s upbringing.
This is also very needed for this next generation of dads.
That doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun with it!
Big Dot of Happiness is a crafting kit to help a new father or dad-to-be to celebrate all the exciting firsts in their child’s journey with a nice cold one: sentimental reward or pavlovian tactic, who’s to say.
Either way, this is a great gift for a new dad to look forward to!

Styles for Carrying packs are more or less the same, no matter of gender, but if you wish to get one that has less of a feminine touch, there are plenty of good options, like the one linked above.
Comfortable and sturdy, this gift is sure to be a hit.
