The quality wasn't great for the price and they ran HUGE! I ordered DH a large, because he likes them big, but had to exchange it for a small, and then still had to boil that down to try to shrink it. The customer service was good, but I doubt I'll order from them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-fathers-day-present#post-835219 Thu, 06 Jun 2013 09:31:36 +0000 bunnylove08 835219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: that is ADORABLE!

Then I bought a photo frame that held three photos, and put the photos of Chloe in it to spell out D-A-D. So cute! I'll do it again this year :)</p> <p>Also got him new biking shoes &amp; a laptop bag.</p> <p>This year he wants a messenger bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-fathers-day-present#post-833871 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:57:31 +0000 keiki_mama 833871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: What site did you use for the matching Hawaiian shirts?

I also got him Star Wars cuff links, tie bar and money clip. He doesn't wear a suit often but complains that he doesn't have a tie bar/cuff links when he does.

They'll be delivered a day or two before Father's Day. DH also upgraded to the iPhone 5 yesterday because his 4 wasn't working well and I need him to hear his phone ring when I go into labor :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-fathers-day-present#post-832522 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:48:49 +0000 swurlygurl 832522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm getting him some long-handled grilling utensils (we only have short ones and he burns his hands/arms every time) and a basket to use on the grill for veggies/shrimp/etc so we don't have to waste so much dang foil every time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-fathers-day-present#post-832403 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:23:12 +0000 MaisyMay 832403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him an A's board book to read to LO, and some A's tickets. He knows about the tickets because he was with me when I bought them at Costco. I like the idea of the footprint project/poem above.

So I would say to R, see all that crying is making Daddy drink. The first couple months were rough in our house. So I got him a card that plays Shout, since he says her cries are so loud. And some whiskey stones, going to sign the card from R saying since I am causing you to drink so much. I know he is going to think it is cute. </p> <p>I got him a rub and Beer Butt Chicken thing for the grill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/first-fathers-day-present#post-832295 Wed, 05 Jun 2013 09:55:05 +0000 regberadaisy 832295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Surprising" him with a lunch cruise, got him this: <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-fathers-day-gift-idea-for-your-grill-man#post-806829" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-fathers-day-gift-idea-for-your-grill-man#post-806829</a><br /> And will also be DIYing a D A D frame.
