3rd Trimester

Anyone getting a gift FOR your hubby?

My hubs has been amazing during this pregnancy, so I wanted to get him something special to thank him and commemorate the birth of our son. I found gorgeous Tiffany cuff links (he wears a suit every day...all the more reason to spoil him!) and had them engraved with his initials, which are the same as LO's. I thought they'd be nice to pass down to our son one day, too. They just arrived and I can't wait to give them to my hubby...but not until baby is here! :-)

Anyone else getting their DH something special? And I mean other than the baby, of course!

Re: Anyone getting a gift FOR your hubby?

  • hubby will get a gift but not just for baby.  i'm due october 21st.  hubby's bday is october 22nd and our wedding anniversary is october 30th.  so he will be receiving gifts around the same time that LO should make her appearance.

  • That's such a nice idea!I think it's great that you'll have something that can be passed down.We are team green,but I was thinking about getting something personalized after the birth.I have no idea what though.

  • Yes!

    He has had his eye on some "super special" fishing rod and reel for months now but it is way pricey and he kept saying "we should just spend the money on Kate - I don't really need it."

    So, I got it for him.  It is currently at my ILs house and they will bring it out when they com for the baby's birth!

  • DH will do a long weekend away in NYC in January.  Honestly he has been a trouper and a trip away to play music and chill with friends will be nice for him.
  • Im getting mine, a new power supply for his tattoo gun becasue he fried the other one, and the set of inks that hes been talking about for 6 months.

    good luck on all of that!  thankfully my bday is this month so thats a little bit of space.  october will definitely be a busy month for us though.  this will be our second wedding anniversary but he was in iraq for our first so it will be a special one for us.

  • An engraved bottle of Johnny Walker Blue, he loves scotch and we're having a boy so I figured the blue label will be perfect. Was actually just trying to decide what to engrave on it....

    Wow, this is a GREAT idea. My hubs loooves JW Blue and would just freak if I got him that. Maybe for his birthday! Thanks for the fantastic idea! :-)

  • I will probably go for the limited edition of Cataclysm when it comes out; he is so hard to shop for cause if he wants something he just goes and gets it. I might do a watch with our son's name engraved on it saying to Daddy or something but not sure.

  • I was thinking about getting DH something for being so wonderful to me. But its hard to shop for him. Everytime I find out he wants something I go out and get it only to find out he went out the day before and bought it. So I think for now his gift will be unlimited sex, once we can, till I say other wise haha.

    I'm ordering it right from their website, they have a store locator where you can get it done, but there was nothing close enough to me.

  • Well, were not married yet and ever since we got an engaged we talked about getting him a ring to wear since we have a long engagement set, but we still to this day have yet to get him a ring. So, I'm going to get him a ring and have it engraved to say something from both our daughter and I.

    I will give it to him right after LO is born.

    Oh my, I want this gift for myself!

    I'll probably get DH a piece of geek tech, I'm just not sure what to get yet.

  • kind of yes.. 

    Since he deploying for Afganstan shortly after LO's birth.. I'm buying printer fabric and while we are in the hospital I'm going to have my mom take the picture of DH holding his son for the first time, and print two pictures off on this fabric and make two pillows one for LO and one for DH to take with him when he deploys

    that's really nice. honestly I hadnt thought about it. I like that you thought ahead to pass them down to LO. Very sweet & thoughtful...not surprising coming from you!

  • No, my husband is fabulous and definitely does all that he should in his role as a father and husband, but I see no reason to buy gifts for each other when you are just doing what is expected.  Call me crazy, but isn't that what holidays, birthdays, mother/father's day are for.

    Yep, that's what they're for, but I love buying gifts for others and especially for my husband. I think an unexpected gift can really mean a lot to someone.

  • i am getting my husband a brand new, state of the art, pink and warm, beautiful, cuddly, pooping, crying, giggling baby girl.

    this exactly! We aren't supposed to want what some people call push gifts because our gift is the baby, but the father gets these really expensive meaningful gifts??? He'll get the same thing I'm getting.

  • My gift to my husband is never ever ever referring to him as 'hubby.'

    In addition, I'm planning to buy him some camera equipment, as he's a hobbyist photographer.

    Haha! Hubby, hubby, hubby! Sorry, I had to...

  • We are having a little girl and when I was about 5 months pregnant I found a book "Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: 100 Reasons" by Gregory Lang. I spent about an hour in the store reading it and crying like a baby (it also has an inscription page to write To: and From: ). So I got him that book and a red velvet cake he's been craving for the past month =)

  • This is a really good idea that never crossed my mind! Off to the drawing board to come up with something clever....

    perhaps a daddy diaper bag full of goodies and nice cigars? hmmm

  • I'm getting him Star Craft 2 today. Yeah, he's a nerd. But I love him :) 

    I didn't know it was out yet and I know he's super excited. We've had a rough couple of weeks, plus imminently having a baby so...I figured something nice would cheer him up.

  • With DS, I surprised him with an new Ipod engraved from DS. He deserved it after taking care of me for 13 weeks while on bedrest. This time around I'm getting him new golf clubs not only for the birth which will be 10/7 but for his birthday which is 10/10.

  • I found this website called daddy scrubs. For fathers day I got him a t-shirt that says "I'm the daddy" (he took pictures in it with our son) and some other things. He would like the full scrub outfit for his lil girls debut.
