What are you getting DH for Father's Day?

I know this is early, and everyone is talking about Mother's Day since it is this weekend, but just wondering if anyone has thought about Father's Day yet?  I need to start thinking about it since the new baby will be here a week before Father's Day, and it will probably be the last thing on my mind at that point!  I need some ideas!  What are you getting DH for Father's day?

Re: What are you getting DH for Father's Day?

  • We usually try to keep the "gifting" low key.  We generally go camping on Father's Day weekend, then pack up camp on Sunday and head to his sister's house for a crabfeast for all the dads in the family.

    My dad is usually out of town on a hunting trip on the weekend, so we catch up another time.

  • Loading the player...
  • Costco has this AWESOME book it's called like Dad and me or something...stories just for dads and children. I will try to find the link to the book...

    Got him that, a golf polo and will take him golfing.

  • I'm trying to think of something fun for him to do.  Maybe him and his friends can go fishing for the day, or golfing or something.  I don't wanna buy him something wrap-able.. if that's a word.
  • A new charcoal grill.  We'd get a new one anyway and he doesn't want anything fancy, so he's getting it for FD and I'm getting out of having to come up with a present idea.  Win win. 

    I'll let DD pick out something small all by herself, too.  Last year it was an MU Tigers tie, the year before that it was some girly smelly lotion (ha!).  I let her pick out whatever she wants for him with no input from me.  It's funnier that way. 

  • He wants new golf shoes so that is probably what I will get him.  Not too exciting.

    I always do a Shutterfly book for my DH of him and the girls over the past year.  My older DD was born the Friday before Father's Day that year so it has always been extra special.  I get him something else typically - Netflix or some gadet he wants.

  • Last year he got a laptop bag and the book "Me and my dad" for him to read to DD.

    This year I'll probably get him some practical things - new work undershirts, etc. - and a pic of DD for his desk. I need to find a time to take a pic of DD in his patrol car when he doesn't know about it.

  • I am making DH and Eva matching t-shirts that say, "I'm Stylin'."  They always say that to each other when they are wearing their sunglasses.

  • Last year I got him a silhouette of his oldest child from cutart.com and this year I'll do the middle kid and next year I'll do the youngest. (They are all about a year apart, so they will be roughly the same age in each portrait.)  And hopefully we'll have one of our own by the time the father's day after that comes around.  (He's really sentimental when it comes to the kids.)
  • I always get DH something sports related.

     This year I am getting DH and DS a hat from DHs favorite baseball team.  I think he'll love that he and DS have hats they can wear together.
