Bee suggested! Now I feel like I have all these ideas I can use for other occasions and future father's days. Seems I'm all set for the next few years! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1625955 Sat, 10 May 2014 01:06:10 +0000 shopaholic 1625955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Did you see the cigar and mini bottles [of liquor] I made for DH for Vday? It was pretty simple and he'd enjoyed most of the cigars and scotch from it already! Have you tried Stone Brewing Co.? It's nice to go for a meal and you can take a tour too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1625867 Fri, 09 May 2014 22:41:37 +0000 lady grey 1625867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting DH a baking steel for making pizzas! (our baking stones always crack in high temps: bakingsteel.com</p> <p>Not sure about my dad yet...he's not into typical guys stuff like golf, grilling, football etc. More like travel, cycling and good restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1625800 Fri, 09 May 2014 21:32:05 +0000 blackbird 1625800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>erm....probably chocolate covered strawberries for my dad. he's obsessed with the ones we got my mom for mother's day. </p> <p>DH, i'm thinking a funny coffee mug. Nothing too fancy. Steak dinner? *Shrug* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1625751 Fri, 09 May 2014 21:09:44 +0000 dolphin 1625751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I got mines at Binny's but not sure if there is one by you? I live in Chicago. But if you go on the Johnnie website, it tells you where you can get it engraved by you!</p> <p><a href="http://www.johnniewalker.com/en-us/engravinglocations" rel="nofollow">http://www.johnniewalker.com/en-us/engravinglocations</a></p> <p>And here's a pic of the bottle I got DH. You could engrave anything you want and they allow up to three lines! </p> [attach=3218/14/n5c609.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1624939 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:20:07 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1624939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PixieStix: do you have any recs on beer brewing kits? i'm guessing they're not created equal. his favorite craft beers are IPA's, followed by stouts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1624932 Fri, 09 May 2014 14:18:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1624932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dolphin: @PixieStix: these are awesome awesome ideas!!! thank you for the suggestions! </p> <p>@dolphin: did you just engrave his name on it? can you link me the site where you got it done? that would be such a special gift - if I don't do it for father's day, maybe I'll do it for his birthday (in July so not that far away!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1619155 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:43:38 +0000 Mae 1619155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea! For FIL we always just order something random online-- probably a sports shirt or something. For my dad I prefer to do some sort of outting, but with a newborn I don't know how realistic that is. </p> <p>My DH is the one I'm really stumped about. Since this is his first father's day I really want to get him something special. Like preferably something he could keep forever... but I just don't know :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1619110 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:30:25 +0000 chopsuey 1619110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea what I'm getting our dads and DH.<br /> Moms are so much easier to shop for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1619109 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:30:11 +0000 dolphin 1619109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: My DH loves cigars and scotch so one year I got him a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Label and got it engraved. Kind of pricy but sure to be appreciated by Scotch lovers! And they offer complimentary engravings at Binnys for certain holidays. </p> <p>NO idea what I'm getting DH this year. It's so hard! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1619102 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:28:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 1619102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad will get a phone call, and should be happy with it. </p> <p>D asks for a Hawaiian tee-shirt--it's what he asks for instead of the sterotypical tie :) </p> <p>I'm going to see if I can find a matching or complementary one for E, as well. I did it last year but the quality of the shirts were very low. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1619069 Wed, 07 May 2014 12:19:03 +0000 Mrs. Rabbit 1619069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea what I'm getting my dad—probably just a phone call and a card, to be honest. </p> <p>For my husband, I got him a "Papa and Me" frame from Zulily months ago (from my daughter, of course). And I'm not sure what else. I'm thinking about getting him The Big Bang Theory on DVD, but that may be better as a birthday gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1619005 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:53:56 +0000 PixieStix 1619005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Ooh! I was going to suggest it to everyone, but if you think your hubby (or a father) would want to try their hand in beer-making, a beer brewing kit is way cool! You can buy different kits for different brews and they get to do it all themselves. My hubby does this and it's a lot of fun, but takes some time... really unique though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618990 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:50:50 +0000 cascademom 1618990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For DH, I got him a framed "Parks and Rec" quote by Ron Swanson, a little brag book of pics, and then a nice meal. We've been having an ongoing discussion that Mother's and Father's Days are gift giving days on behalf of our LO. </p> <p>For my mom, I'm getting her a gift certificate from her favorite quilting store. For my dad, I'll have to wait to see what he wants. He's usually good at telling me a desired gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618954 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:41:50 +0000 Caly 1618954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty sure I'm going to get DH a camera lens he's been eyeing. My dad? No clue...gonna have to work on that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618939 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:31:48 +0000 regberadaisy 1618939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: do you have local breweries near you? A lot of microbreweries often offer tours and a chance to help make a brew! Then you also get to taste the previous tour group's batch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618935 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:29:06 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1618935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @rahlyrah: ooooh!!! I'll look into it. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618922 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:24:35 +0000 Pepper 1618922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think for father's day, I'm going to get my husband a giftcard to the golf course he likes to play at. Either that, or maybe I can find out what kind of new club he wants from one of his friends.</p> <p>For my dad... I'm not sure. He loves to cook, so maybe a gift card to Williams Sonoma? Or an attachment for his KitchenAid mixer.</p> <p>For FIL, I have no idea... I'll leave that up to DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618889 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:12:58 +0000 swurlygurl 1618889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, Father's Day is even harder than Mother's Day!! At least for Mother's Day if I'm feeling lazy I can just order flowers or get a mani/pedi giftcard. No easy cop-outs for the dads... :/</p> <p>So, NO idea yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618870 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:05:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1618870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still on the fence. DH loves to golf and the poor guy hasn't gone golfing in two years. So I was going to send him &amp; FIL on a golf outing at a beautiful course an hour away. But DH's back has been bothering him and he said it hurts to swing a club. So...I'm not sure if I should do that.</p> <p>Will definitely hand make something from LO for both though.</p> <p>@rahlyrah: I would love to do that for DH when the budget is a bit looser! He loves microbrews and we make our own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618859 Wed, 07 May 2014 11:03:53 +0000 lawbee11 1618859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm going to get DH a Roku or Amazon Fire. I have no idea what to get my dad..he's the most difficult person to shop for because he's very low-maintenance and always tells me not to waste my money and that he doesn't need anything! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618841 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:58:07 +0000 Ra 1618841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: @mrbee: I got my husband a craft beer of the month club membership a few years ago for Christmas. He loved it! He always says it's his favorite gift that I've ever got him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618710 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:18:35 +0000 Alivoo01 1618710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my dad, new clothes and work shoes! He's in upper management and is still wearing clothes from years ago. They're all so worn out and dingy looking!</p> <p>As for DH, I haven't decided yet. I'm at a lost for him right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618697 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:17:23 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1618697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have no clue what to get my husband. He's mentioned wanting a smoker, so I might have him pick one out. I don't know anything about grilling/BBQ/whatever a smoker does. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618684 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:15:40 +0000 Anagram 1618684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning to get my DH a bike seat for LO (because he wants to take her biking). My dad has passed and my FIL is a very simple guy who doesn't like for us to spend money on him--so a phone call is more likely for him, or something very small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618676 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:14:24 +0000 mrbee 1618676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: Maybe a craft beer of the month club?</p> <p><a href="http://billybrew.com/beer-of-the-month-club-reviews" rel="nofollow">http://billybrew.com/beer-of-the-month-club-reviews</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618663 Wed, 07 May 2014 10:11:03 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1618663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always struggle with this! DH is a simple guy with simple needs. Right now he's really into craft beer. He likes cigars and scotch too. But what to do with that... I'm stumped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618505 Wed, 07 May 2014 09:36:55 +0000 mrs. wagon 1618505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hate shopping for my dad for father's day...!! I like to spoil him but it's hard to shop for him. I always end up getting him gimmicky little things like BBQ tongs and an apron that says #1 grandpa or whatnot. I know he gets a kick out of them, but I can't help but feel like I am giving him junk!! </p> <p>As for Wagon Sr. we don't do much for gifts for each other anymore, so I'll probably get him something home improvement related.. whatever he needs at the time. Probably something lawn-related since it'll be June! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fathers-day-gifts#post-1618498 Wed, 07 May 2014 09:33:57 +0000 mediagirl 1618498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting my husband's blower fixed! Sooooo romantic, I know. :) Not sure yet on my dad....gotta think on that one. </p>
