Father's Day

With Father's Day approaching I'm wondering what to get my dad as a gift (DH is super easy and wants a hammock, and I also put together a shadow box with the scrubs he wore for when DD was born, her ankle band, and birth announcement). Anyways, my dad is an amazing dad and I have always appreciated everything he has done for his children. My mom walked out on us when I was 2, and left my dad with 3 children under the age of 3 (and he was only 23 at the time). I want to do something that reflects how much I am in awe of his abilities as a father (I seriously don't know how he did it). Any suggestions on really thoughtful gifts? Any gifts you have given that your dad loved? Any ideas that you wouldn't mind sharing?

    Does he live near you? One idea I had was to pay for a photo session with my dad and the baby. I think my dad would really love special photos of just him an his grandson (and maybe me/you too). I'll be curious to hear what others suggest. 
    I can't believe how obvious this should of Been to me as my father takes a million pictures of him and bug.  I am stealing this idea freely given.

    I'm doing something similar! I got all the pictures of LO and my dad and put them in a shutterfly album. I'm doing the same thing for my father in law.

    My family has been into experiences and spending time together more-so than physical things in recent years. Last year, we gathered all the dads (and moms) and went on a steam train "robbery" ride. This year, the dads are going to go golfing together at my FIL's favourite course before joining us all for dinner.

    @l4rk The steam train robbery ride sounds so awesome! I wish something like that was close to where I lived.

    Not terribly original, but I'm just going to frame his favorite picture of LO in a good sized frame to keep on his desk at work.
