Bugaboo Butterfly Pushchair
If there’s one thing I recommend to any friend who is about to have a baby, it’s this pushchair. It’s perfect for the city, it’s easy to clean (essential), it folds up and goes in the overhead locker on any plane and it looks slick and stylish, even when you’re not feeling that way yourself.

John Lewis Wooden Coffee Shop
Looking for the perfect gift for a niece, nephew, godchild or friend’s kid? This is a winner. No parent wants more plastic in their home, so wooden toys are always a hit. And getting any toddler to play with this is a precursor to them being able to make their parents the real deal. Win-win.
