This shoulder carrier from MiniMeis is the perfect Father’s Day gift

If there’s one thing that’s certain in life, it’s that coming up with gifts for every birthday, anniversary and appreciation days for the people you love can be tricky. What can you get them that is something they will both cherish and use?

With Father’s Day coming up on 18 June, it’s time to start thinking about what to get this parents in your life. While, for the fathers with babies and toddlers, a handcrafted gift is always a nice thought, it could be a good idea to get them something practical as well.

This is why MiniMeis is the perfect Father’s Day gift. A shoulder carrier for kids aged six months to four years old, it was named one of the best inventions of the year by Time Magazine for a good reason.

It’s foldable like a laptop making it easy to transport, and the way it works is you strap it on over your shoulders and place the child safely on top.

MiniMeis is the brainchild of Norwegian fathers Tarjei Johnson and Julius Winger who, seven years ago, were looking for the best way to bring their kids on adventures. While they decided to place their children on their shoulders like their parents had done before them, they found that this was not safe, nor was it comfortable for more than a few minutes.

Thus, after five more years of development, MiniMeis was born. In the two years since its 2021 launch, MiniMeis has sold over 200,000 carriers to families in more than 150 countries – even Hilary Duff is said to be a fan.

So, do a favour to the dad in your life’s shoulders (or the mum’s! Any parent would love this) and get them one of these shoulder carriers for Father’s Day, or their birthday, or Christmas. It’s a thoughtful gift for any occasion.

Plus, MiniMeis are currently offering a free pouch worth £40 with any purchase of the £169.99 shoulder carrier, simply add the code HAPPY2023 at checkout.
