Re: What's everyone doing for Father's Day?

  • I'm trying not to think about what we did for Mother's Day as an example of how I should do Father's Day. We went to a golf place and I had their Mother's Day special of food and mimosas while DH did the driving range.

    DH is more of a "I like gifts" person and I am a "I like experiences" person.

    I side eyed him hard when he mentioned he wanted a new toy and referenced Father's Day as a good day to receive it when he didn't get me anything .....

     

    I have a plan to do a handprint thing for him with LO, but am wondering if I should just get what he suggested.

  • I had a picture taken of the two kids, I had made a "We Love Daddy" sign but of course I forgot to bring it. I found a cute "Dad" frame though, DH really likes to have pictures of the kids at work.

    I'm also making a craft project with my DS, it's a survey about DH with DS's answers. For instance for "Daddy's Age" DS insists DH is 5 years old : )

  • @SweetC80‌ which company did you use for the board book?

  • I did a photo shoot with dd holding black block letters that spell out DAD, put that in a photo frame as well as a couple of black and white photos of them :) I'm taking us 3 out for breakfast that we are going to a car show afterwards
  • I'm not doing much.. I will probably get a cute frame to put a photo of them & I am also going to surprise him and set up hooks for all his hats and keys. He has nowhere to put them right now so I think it will be a neat little surprise that he'll hopefully like. He has to work on Father's Day so we won't be doing supper or anything fun unfortunately.
  • Sentimental gift - a personalized flattenme book called My SuperDaddy (https://www.flattenme.com/us/stories/) with a dedication from DD and myself.

    Non Sentimental gift - whiskey blending kit

    Activity - we will probably fire up a grill on our backyard and spend nice time as a family
  • It will be our first weekend in FL and we will be saying at my dads at that time. Honestly, we will aknowledge the day in some way but I doubt we will do much. I have no gifts planned. I wanted to do the dad letter pictures but have not.
  • DH loves to sing the aria Nessun Dorma from the opera Turandot to DS when he gives him his bath. The title translates to none shall sleep. My Mom took a great shot of DS when he was about a week old screaming his head off. Sooo....I'm going to make DH a tshirt with the picture and the words Nessun dorma on it along with the translation.
  • I got a golf ball marker customized with a picture of DD on it. I'm going to get him a gift card to a course to go with it.

    I got a photo collage coffee mug for my dad and we'll go shopping for some shirts for him (for some reason that's our tradition and we make a fun day of it) and photo collage deck of playing cards for SO's dad since he's really into playing cards with his friends.

    I would really rather take DD and spend the day with my dad and SO can spend the day with his but I'm not sure what's actually going to happen.

    I got him this:


    He's big into cycling so I thought that was pretty cool. We'll probably do a cookout at our house or something.

  • olga1311 - I LOVE the superdad idea. I actually just e-mailed to myself so i can remember it for next year :)

    I got him this with baby's newborn footprints. And a t-shirt and onesie that say "I make awesome babies" and "awesome baby" just for a cute photo opp.

    Also, we just got professional shots from my little gal's christening, so I'm framing a picture of the two of them in canvas for him. 

    I'll make breakfast and will probably end up spending the day at the beach with his dad and mom too.
