Father's Day

bluejeanbabi05 · May 2017

Father's Day is coming up, Sunday 6/18, and I'm curious what (if anything) you ladies have planned for your SO?

VLillyV · May 2017

Oh snap. I didn't realize it was fathers day around the corner. Good lookin out!!! @bluejeanbabi05

shan24 · May 2017

Every year, I give SO a daddy and me type book and on the inside cover, I put a picture of him and DS. I usually give him something else, too. This year, I'm thinking a squatty potty, just cause I think he'd think it's funny.

bluejeanbabi05 · May 2017

Haha @shan24 I was thinking squatty potty, too!

DH went all out for me for Mother's Day, but he's not super into having attention on himself, so I think I'm going to do a card, the squatty potty and then buy him a waffle maker (he loves waffles) and make waffles that morning.

I got a onesie on Etsy that says "I love my Daddy". We've only bought one baby item so far so I think it'll feel like a big deal to DH. I'm putting money on seeing some tears

beezeee · May 2017

It's also my 30th bday, so sorry to DH but he'll have to share the day with me. We're not big on gifts - prefer to do activities, go out for food, etc. We're going strawberry picking in the morning (my request) and I told DH he can pick what he wants to do in the afternoon. I'm guessing we'll go to the beer garden.

i got a notebook on Etsy that i have the kids draw in every year (or when they are babies just do a handprint) and write him a note. for a gift i got him a mailbox lololzzz. TBH he didnt go above and beyond on mothers day (not that i care) but he isnt getting much "treatment" for fathers day.

canonmom413 · May 2017

I'm just buying his favorite whisky. We don't make big deal out of these holidays. We do make these type of days easier for each other and be a little extra nice , but otherwise it's just another day.

carries2018 · May 2017

i love how mothers day comes first. it is like a cheat sheet on what you need to do for H.

feeislove · May 2017

@beezeemarie It's my birthday too! Except it'll be my 29th

Not sure what we're doing. We went to lunch on Mother's Day with his family (my parent's were both working) but I'm not really sure if we'll do anything.

sdarling2010 · May 2017

I had a coupon for a free Shutterfly book, so I've made one with pics of DH and DD, from her birth til now, as well as an ultrasound pic of LO and his name and due date at the end. I'm excited to order it tomorrow and give it to him on Father's Day!

All DH wants to do is attend a brewers beer fest at a local park (all ages), so we will be doing that on the Saturday with a couple other friends! He's lucky he has a built in designated driver

purplestarz · May 2017

@sdarling2010 that book sounds adorable.

DH got me an edible arrangement for Mother's Day. I was thinking about getting him an assortment of fancy beers that he likes. He also wants a new FitBit but I haven't committed to that idea yet.

soprano19 · May 2017

Gah, I don't know. He made me a really nice breakfast on Mother's Day, but I'm not sure what to do for him. Maybe the same thing?

nbcarlson · May 2017

I have to work on Father's Day

But I get off earlyish so we are planning on taking DS to see Cars which will be his first movie at the theater. I plan on taking DH to Coldstone Creamery after, mostly for selfish reasons but he loves it too lol.

sjohns908 · May 2017

DH "bought" (i.e. put on his credit card, so it's kind of cheating) a gazebo for our deck for me about a month before mothers day and we called that my gift. Even though it's technically for the entire family. I don't have that kind of money to spend on him and I don't have credit cards, so I don't know that I'll buy him much

Since his parents will be out of town and we finally get to make our own plans for a change, I told him I'm taking him out to brunch at Hyvee, because who doesn't want go eat at a grocery store

other than that, Im not planning on much since I'm not into these "holidays"

melarowan · May 2017

I ordered him a new belt because he really needs it. Since he has a major love affair with his smoker, I'm thinking about making a gift cooler with meats and brick cheeses for him to put in the smoker, along with some spices for dry rub and an assortment of wood chips. Maybe we'll go out to eat too.

wondermom911 · May 2017

My husband's birthday is on the 13th, so I plan to do a birthday/father's day "party" that weekend. Going to have the kids get him some presents and I'm going to make him a cheesecake.

DH's Bday is the 13th as well! We are going out of town though so no combining the two this year.

Uhlease13 · May 2017

These are great ideas. Dh didn't do anything for me for Mother's Day, so I probably won't do anything for him either, lol. I love the idea of getting an "I love my daddy" onesie or something! Maybe for his bday instead

curlyq423 · May 2017

We will be on vacation, so hang out on the beach. We will also be with my parents, so probably go out to eat or make a nice meal with them. We don't usually go all out for these holidays as far as gifts, we usually just try to spend the day together and treat each other extra special (let each other sleep in, off the hook for a lot of household responsibilities, let each other relax, etc. little things like that)

stefanirn06 · May 2017

I bought DH a new grill that he set up and used this weekend. Also bought some copper grill mats for him and will probably just buy nice steaks for him and our fathers. Then we will have a gender reveal for this LO with our families. Hopefully it's a good day.

roo_baby · May 2017

DH didn't do much for Mother's Day, so I might do something low key like take him out to brunch or maybe I'll steal the onesie idea.

marousse · June 2017

We're about to move into our new house, so I'm thinking something for the new house - like a grill or something plus something from the baby.

virginiaham · June 2017

I got him a leather sunglasses case and a few handkerchiefs (does anybody know what these are anymore?) monogrammed with our last initial. I think this feels like his first real Father's Day and I'm using it to be a sucker for things our kid may find in his nightstand drawer next to his deliciously fragrant pipe tobacco, that eventually might get passed on to him/her. It sounds super lame and sentimental and it probably is but I think he'll appreciate the gesture. And food will probably be involved because baby and I will be hungry.

emwj10187 · June 2017

@shan24 ohh squatty potty is such a great idea!! Totally stealing it! haha. Right now hubby uses our bathroom trashcan as his makeshift squatty potty... i think its hilarious.

TallMomma29 · June 2017

Gift idea if you already have at least one kid

Or maybe a onesie if this is your first.

Also, I didn't realize until trying to write this that "second time dad +" is "STD+"

friendlywolf0913 · June 2017

I'm thinking of keeping it simple like he did and getting a card, a couple of his favorite things and making a favorite meal. I'll probably get his favorite pizza and his favorite ice cream and maybe a gift card.
