Christmas Gift for Dad and Child: Ideas They Can Share

The short answer: The nicest Christmas gift for dad and child is one that both use together. The most popular choice is the matching set: a beanie or cap for dad and the identical version for the child, available from Soulbuddy in Bremen as a beanies set of 2 for 49 euros or as a caps set of 2 from 42.90 euros, with kids' sizes from around 3 months. Add experiences for two and small gifts that the child hands over to dad in person. Here are the ideas at a glance.

The matching set: one gift, two recipients

Two parcels under the tree, one for dad, one for the child, and on unwrapping it turns out both got the same thing. This works with the beanie for the winter walk on Christmas Day just as well as with the cap for next spring. Soulbuddy beanies come in 18 colours from Berry Melange to Deep Blue, the caps as snapback, trucker, dad hat, sports or performance cap. The child gets KIDS S (from around 3 months), M or L, dad the ADULT version in one size. With two children it becomes the set of 3 from 58.90 euros. If you do not want to settle on one style, the Mix & Match bundle lets you pick model, colour and size individually for every head.

Experiences for dad and child

A voucher for a day together is the gift both will remember longest: a stadium visit, an afternoon at the climbing gym, a ride on a steam train, a day at the theme park or, for younger children, breakfast for two at the favourite café. Combine the experience with the matching look and the outfit for the souvenir photo is sorted.

Gifts from the child to dad

Children want to give something themselves at Christmas. A framed drawing, a jar of home-baked cookies, a photo book with the best shared moments of the year or a cap in dad's favourite colour that the child helped choose in the shop all work well. Ideas for dad gifts that fit all year round are in our article Father's Day gift ideas.

The first Christmas as a dad

If the baby is only a few months old, the first Christmas as a family is special. A gift "from the baby" to dad is a lovely gesture, for example a beanies set of 2 in KIDS S for the first winter walk together. More ideas for new dads are in our guide Gifts for expecting dads.
