We guarantee between you are going to take more photos than you have ever before, so treat him to a decent camera. Just make sure he know when it is and isn't welcome in the labour ward!

Once he's got all those great pics, don't leave them in the camera. We love this multi media frame, which will show off all his great photos of the new addition to your family, along with video and music as well.

And talking of video, why not have sight and sound on your baby monitor? He'll even be able to see baby in the darkened room so not disturbing them when they (finally) go to sleep. He'll thank you for this, eventually!

He might joke about getting earplugs, but lets face it, he's not getting them. You could go for a sleep machine, as even thought you might be shattered, it can be hard to sleep. So drift off to sleep to natural sounds, for at least a few hours!

Bear in mind dad is going to be pushing that pram too, which is why we love the Bugaboo, as it looks pretty hi-tech, and the handle bars adjust easily for the different heights. Add to that the colour co-ordination possibilities, and the fact it's pretty lightweight for lifting in and out the car, we completely wish they had been around when we needed one!

You can't not look at this picture and go all gooey! But also this is a very practical way for Dads, and Mums to carry round very little ones, and it's pretty comfy, and comforting for baby too. And apparently Dads like this cos it looks rugged!

If you've always been an active pair, then having a little one shouldn't slow you down. This baby back pack should be comfortable for both Dad and baby, and rugged enough for most days out. They've thought of everything for baby, and the pivoting hip belt keeps the strain off the back for whoever is carrying it.

 Once you've got baby on board, you end up carrying round a lot more stuff. And Daddy is going to want something suitably manly for when it's his turn. So skip the flowers and choose something like this black backpack. Very practical, got pockets for everything your going to need and looks stylish enough for even the hippest Dad about town.

In case anyone is in doubt, or he's in denial, then tell the world in this "My Baby Rocks" t shirt.   Alternatively, design your own t-shirt for him, even with baby's photo on, at Spreadshirt, with a great choice of colours and quick delivery.

Whether it's a boy or a girl,  Sonia Spencer has cufflinks for the new Dad to celebrate with. Very cute, and will let  him wear his heart on his sleeve! If you want the personal touch, then check out the Fingerprint cufflinks from Boutique To You, which safely allows you to include your little ones own fingerprints on some one of a kind jewellery for Daddy.

He may need a lot of coffee to cope with the side-effects of those sleepless nights, so make sure he has something decent to drink it out of. We love this half pint mug from Emma Bridgewater, which makes it very clear whose mug it is!

Maybe you could help Daddy celebrate the arrival of your baby by helping others. £20 to Practical Presents will help a poor community to fish their way out of poverty, providing food for their families and their community. Or if you'd like something that grows as baby grows up, then consider schemes that plant trees either in the Third World or here in the UK.
