Anyone doing Fathers day gifts for hubby?

I am thinking about doing something special for hubby for fathers day! Anyone have ideas or want to share?

I was just thinking about this today. I'd like to get him a card and something small. STM+, was there anything helpful to your DH when starting out as a Dad?

I was thinking of getting pics done with my step son and my belly and letting my step son choose the pic and framing that one he chose for him

I thought that getting him a Father's Day gift while I was pregnant boosted his confidence about being a dad! I think I got him a Xbox one, but that's only because we both wanted one, I normally wouldn't buy a present that expensive. For him, just celebrating it made him feel special!

When I was pregnant with DD I just got him a dad shirt that he could wear at the hospital. There easiest to find around Father's Day so win win.

For our "first" mothers/Father's Day when pregnant with out first, he bought me the coach diaper bag I wanted and I got him the radio flyer fire truck pedal car he has always wanted. Right now the pedal car is in the baby's room with lots of stuffed animals in it but as the kids get better we can actually take it outside for the kids to play in.

DD was born on Father's Day in 2014, so I've pretty much given up since I can't beat that! lol jk But kinda serious....last year I got him an I Make Adorabe Babies t-shirt, and he literally wears it all the time lol. I'll probably have DD get a card and color all over it for him. He never gives me ideas for things that he wants, so it's hard!

I wasn't planning to until I saw this on Zulily and had to order it. The thought of him and our little boy matching was just too cute to resist!

I'm thinking about getting DH a grill. We have a gas grill, but he wants a charcoal one too. Grilling time can be time for him and baby. He likes practical gifts, so I think this is a good mix of practical and meaningful if it gives him time to bond with our little one.

@Mfuller76 I am totally copying you! That is too cute. I think DH will actually like it because it's not too cheesy/sappy.

ETA: Looks like they are gone from Zulily. You snooze, you lose on that site!

ballofmeat · April 2016

Yeah I am stuck on what to get DH. I know our LO won't be here by then, but he has been such a great support for me, especially during my 1st trimester hell. I think he deserves some recognition in our household. I really like the Little Dipper and Big Dipper shirts and bummer they are all gone

Mfuller76 · April 2016

@Snaps816and @midwestbaby This was the second or third time I saw these on Zulily so I bet they bring them (and all the other insanely cute versions) back once more before Father's Day. I'm obsessed with that site so if I see them again, I'll let y'all know!

He actually already got his present - a lawn mower. It's used, but its much nicer than the one we had, and he's been asking for it for awhile.

I'll probably also get him this:

@midwestbaby https://www.wematchclothing.com/ There are some really cute matching sets here! they actually have the big / little dipper in other colors.

There's a book called The New Father that my husband really found useful

This website: https://www.daddyncompany.com/all-products/apparels/daddy-tshirts.html
has a ton of great shirt options. I got DH a "New Daddy" shirt for him to wear at the hospital when DS was born. He loved it.

This year, he'll get a gift from DS but only a card from baby #2.

Thank you @allisun85

I'm getting together a daddy diaper bag/survival kit. It will have things that I assume he would like or want while I'm in labour. Things like snacks, like jerky, protein bars and other gooodies as well as a sudoku or other puzzle book. Also some things for his sanity; Tylenol, extra diapers, clean shirt, sweat pants, etc. Things that are practical but also just for him. Pinterest had great ideas that I will be using. For the survival part it will have the book Dada by Jimmy Fallon since we both like his show.

Omg that is awesome! My SO is an arborist and this is just too cute!!

I think we might be the odd ones out here, but we are not doing anything for mother or father's day now or for the first few years. I just don't see the point. It's not like my unborn child is going to be hand-crafting me a gift, so I don't think a gift I receive/he receives would be any different than the random knick-knacks we get each other every now and then.

Totally not judging those of you who are exchanging gifts!

I usually get Hubby some kind of fishing tackle for father's day, and if I'm not working, we go out fishing as a family that day. He's a SAHD, so he really doesn't get a lot of time to do things he enjoys and we like to spend time with him, while also allowing him to do something he loves, which is fishing. I also make vinyl graphics and T-Shirts on the side, and this year, I think I'm going to make him a special shirt with help from the kids on the design.

For my husband's first Father's Day I designed a travel mug with pictures of our dd through shutterfly. Last year I designed a calendar, of pictures of dd, for him to have at work. He's not one to bring in frames with pictures, to the office, so the calendar is perfect. This year I may try to do something with dd's artwork. My dd has an April bday so luckily I didn't have a Father's Day when I was pregnant.
