Spin off Q. What to get DH as a "thank you"

I know I know, I gave him a baby so he doesn't need any other thank you.

But I want to get him something to acknowledge how amazing he was delivering our daughter and keeping us both calm, and safe.

I don't have a lot of money to spend.

I was thinking even maybe just a heartfelt letter or card, rather than "stuff". But just thought I'd see if anyone had any thoughts.

    I think it would be really beautiful if you wrote him a letter recounting the experience, maybe even a letter to the baby about how daddy brought her into the world.  Which perspective do you think would mean the most to him?  My husband would really love a letter written to our children about him and I can see that being something your daughter cherishes forever.  Sounds like a family heirloom in the making!

    Maybe make a gift certificate booklet that he can redeem as he wants to.  Things for both now and once you have more energy/time.  His favorite dinner/massage/sweet treat/ date night/guy night/ect.

    Get a fabulous snapshot of he and the girls, blow up and frame.

    Thank you for those ideas, they're great. Now I'll just have to find a spare minute :-).

    well, since you got that out of the way... Wink

    i think a card/letter is the way to go. or maybe a nice framed picture to take to work? (or both)

    Not sure if you could find one in NZ? but it would be cute to get a baseball catchers mitt and put the date on it, as well as dd's name.

    Congrats, and what a wonderful birth! I'm glad everyone is happy and healthy!

    Congrats!  I think the letter is a wonderful idea - and could be incorporated in a shadow box with some other mementos of the birth.
