Father's (to be) Day Gift

Anyone getting their DH/SO something for their "first" Father's day? Maybe I'm crazy...just thought about doing something small and cute to celebrate this time for him, but no ideas!

    I thought about it. but I told DH he didnt have to get me anything for Mothers day and he didnt. Jerk, I know I said he didnt have to but I still wanted something! Especially since our 4 legged animals used to get me something for Mothers day. But nothing this year! So I still am getting him something small but not from the baby. Its from our 4 legged kids.

    This is not his first father's day, but I did get him something when I was pregnant with DD... a framed US picture with some notes on it etc. This year I was going to get him running shoes but I think we need every penny in my checking account for closing, so he might not get them lol.

    This is DH's first fathers day with an outside baby, so we did some little steak footprint art on a grilling tray!

    I'm not -- I am only 7 weeks and god forbid anything go wrong, I don't want my husband's first gift to have come from a loss. I am a teensy bit superstitious with this. With that said, I told him flat out I wouldn't be getting him anything so that he didn't expect anything and he said he didn't and totally agreed with my rationale.

    DD was only 1 day old last father's day. We were still in the hospital so he didn't get anything. This year he is getting a super dad t-shirt, a framed picture of DD for his desk at work (he doesn't have a picture of her at work) and a good bottle of Scotch.

    I'll be just shy of 8 weeks so I'm just doing a card. But, I'm also a big card person. Love giving them!

    Not DH's first Father's Day, but I got him a really nice neck/back massager. We don't really do "baby-related" gifts, because that's not our thing, but there are some cute ideas on Pinterest! Although, now that I think of it, I got him a really sweet book for his birthday that was "from DD." It was called, "My Dad Loves Me." They read it together all the time.

    I got him a little onesie that had "daddy's best friend" on it, and I actually found a "father-to-be" card at target!

    When I was pregnant I didn't get DH anything for Father's Day because he didn't get me anything for Mother's Day. I realize how petty that is but I don't care. Lol DH is a horrible gift giver in general so because of that, we have agreed not to go overboard with gifts on holidays. Nevertheless I think he's going to love his gift this year. I got him a T-shirt that says "the original" on it and DS one that says "the remix".

    Whoa thanks for this reminder! I just ordered a video game he wants that was on his Amazon wish list. At least I hope he still wants it! Amazon prime to the rescue. Might take him out for dinner or pick up some wings at his favorite wing place too.

    I LOVE the tool box diaper kit , that is hilarious!! DD waa also born the day before Father's Day last year so he didn't get anything either . I was in a bit of a daze and honestly didn't think about it . This year I got him "pony up daddy" .... google it I think it's so funny :) and DD has a onsie that says " I'm your Father's Day gift " mom says your welcome :) I don't think I am going to get him anything else

    @cyanope DS "gave" that book to DH for Father's Day a year or two ago. He loves it and DH doesn't mind reading it to him bc it doesn't take too long. ;)

    DH likes to fiddle with stuff so for Christmas last year I got him some small metal models to make. He's really into planes and is getting a couple more from DS for Father's Day. We try not to go too overboard on holidays and gift giving is just not either of our fortés..

    I'm thinking of getting DH a "new dad" book but am not sure which one to go with. Any suggestions?

    @ecolton01 Totally bookmaking that onsie for next year's father's day gift!

    DH surprised me with flowers, ice cream, oreos and a card for Mother's day this year. It was so unexpected and sweet!  :) I want to keep it simple for father's day this year. I'm thinking a handwritten letter/note (as DH hates cards) and a small gift. I haven't quite decided what gift yet, so keep the ideas coming, ladies!

    @dcamp18 My husband really liked The Whole Nine Months. It's from a guys perspective and has a lot of funny anecdotes thrown in.

    @cyanope I love that book! DD actually "gave" it as a Father's day gift last year, and they read it all the time together. So sweet. 

    This year I think I'm just going to have DD put her hand print in DH's sketchbook, if I can sneak it away. I have an outline of her hand in my planner (we we're playing with pens one day, she loved outlining her hand) and DH is jealous lol so I think he'd like something in his sketchbook.

    @dcamp18 I got DH "The Baby Owner's Manual" the first time I was pregnant. It's hilariously written like an instruction manual and is such an easy read and has great info. I even got some use out of it! Plus it's cheap on amazon. Lol
