Besides gifts there isn't much else DH will want or want to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548271 Fri, 13 May 2016 04:53:55 +0000 Pumuckl 2548271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our father's day was three days before mother's day here and the kids had done craft activities at daycare so we didn't do anything else. </p> <p>(I see MD and FD as days on which the children are supposed to celebrate their parents and thus when they made a gift I am fine with nothing else happing that day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548188 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:29:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2548188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: kid one holds letter "D", kid two holds "A", kid three holds "D" </p> <p>See pic of random internet baby</p> <p>[attach=1339/16/o73g8v.600x397.image.jpeg] </p> [attach=1339/16/o73gaw.600x359.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548186 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:27:05 +0000 yerpie110 2548186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Getting him and dd1 matching sneakers. He always wants to match with her so I think (hope!) he'll love it. That's all I got so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548183 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:23:06 +0000 MoonMoon 2548183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Wegmans has many of the British candies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548182 Thu, 12 May 2016 21:17:38 +0000 jhd 2548182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: Just bought my DH a hammock yesterday. He's also been wanting one for a while. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548108 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:47:27 +0000 Boogs 2548108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is working on a book for his daddy. I'm planning on buying fishing gear DH has coveted. And other than that I suppose just wait and see what DH wants to do with his day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2548102 Thu, 12 May 2016 19:40:25 +0000 petitenoisette 2548102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: @oliviaoblivia: @BabyBoecksMom: Ok, I'm out of the loop, what's the DAD picture?

My husband is hard to buy for because he doesn't really care about stuff. I will try to let him sleep in that day but I'm sure the kids will wake him up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547363 Thu, 12 May 2016 11:00:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2547363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting him a hammock for the yard. He's wanted one for years.<br /> Also excited to do D.A.D. with three girls. It was hard last year getting them both to look OK at the same time. Having a third has made that so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547294 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:39:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2547294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know yet! He'll be on vacation with his brothers that weekend. DD and I won't be able to talk to him until late in the evening. We'll celebrate the following week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547275 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:33:30 +0000 autumnleaves 2547275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a hot roast beef sandwich recipe on The a Kitchen last week that I plan to try for Fathers Day along with any special requests DH has. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547265 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:29:06 +0000 tofuwad 2547265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The only idea I have is a homemade card with NEPTR from Adventure Time on it. Maybe I'll get him a framed print of LO for his desk at work.</p> <p>And for my father I was thinking a framed photo of my LO and a cookbook. I got him a slow cooker for Xmas and I was going to get him a healthy slow cooker cookbook. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547243 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:20:32 +0000 Meowkers 2547243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure yet. DH is the best dad ever so I really want to make sure he feels appreciated and special but I just haven't figured out what I'm doing for him yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547235 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:18:27 +0000 yoursilverlining 2547235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and LO have a father's day activity: they go together to the comic book store and pick out new comics together.</p> <p>Then, my parents come over and we grill up huge cowboy steaks for DH and my dad. </p> <p>We don't really do gifts for MD/FD; we each buy ourselves something we want and I might get a small gift for my dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547230 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:16:31 +0000 lovehoneybee 2547230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll get him a Hawaiian tee, which is what he's requested instead of a tie, lol. I'm not going overboard, because he went to PAX East last month and that cost a pretty penny so that was part of his gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547228 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:16:10 +0000 BSB 2547228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up some cards for him a few days ago. A perfect superhero one from the kids. I did buy him a t-shirt but he opened the package and has already worn it a few times. Father's day fail! Haha. </p> <p>I'm thinking he loves road trips and it's a lot of work to get the kids out but, for Father's day, I'll make it work. </p> <p>Depending on where we stay and if there is a kitchen... maybe I'll try breakfast in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547221 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:14:21 +0000 erinbaderin 2547221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought my husband a tshirt but then I gave it to him because I'm really bad at waiting. I'm going to take our older son to one of those painting places and have him paint a mug, and then I'll plan something nice for dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547216 Thu, 12 May 2016 10:12:10 +0000 avivoca 2547216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave him money toward his fancy new bike, so I think that's it. We will of course get him something from H. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547187 Thu, 12 May 2016 09:56:00 +0000 Smurfette 2547187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue what I am going to get him. Probably something he wants for the Big Green Egg. I just am not sure how much it costs. We don't do anything big really. </p> <p>I already got my Dad a pocket knife and then a family sign for my Mom and him as a Mother's-Father's day combo gift. It is also serving as our pregnancy announcement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547179 Thu, 12 May 2016 09:50:32 +0000 jape14 2547179@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I will be on a kid-free trip to Europe on Father's Day itself, so we are "celebrating" the weekend before. We'll probably do the exact same thing we did on Mother's Day - trip to the park and our favorite dive restaurant/bar for lunch afterward. I got him a cell phone wallet case for our trip. His gift "from" DS is going to be a Keurig. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547158 Thu, 12 May 2016 09:38:42 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2547158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm thinking of letting my husband play golf with his friends while I take the girls to see my dad. I'm thinking of attempting some of those chalk drawings I've seen on Pinterest... but I might just get him an updated DAD picture, since the last one I did was when my oldest was an infant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547084 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:49:27 +0000 youboots 2547084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to the beach with friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547082 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:48:34 +0000 MrsKoala 2547082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I will actually be away for work on Father's Day so I can't do much for him on the day. I'm planning a really fun day out for the family when I get back and some gifts that I know he'll love! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547067 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:44:06 +0000 Anagram 2547067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know yet, but I've been thinking. For his birthday, I offered him a night away if we wanted to go to Atlantic City with friends or something and he said he would miss the kids too much. So that's a bust for Father's day.</p> <p>I'll let him sleep in, of course. He's not really into brunch like I am---maybe a day of bike riding as a family? One year I bought him a bike seat for LO for Father's Day and that was the best gift ever, because he looooves taking LO1 on bike rides. And we need a bike seat for LO2, but I'm not sure if that's dumb to do the same gift again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547051 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:36:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2547051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably nothing! DH gets me flowers/card and that's about it. I might either surprise him with a date day/night, or tell him to pick a day to go fishing and I'll watch DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547044 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:33:49 +0000 Truth Bombs 2547044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought him a Yeti cooler which I've already given to him because we are going to the horse races this weekend and I wanted him to be able to use it. I got him matching ties for him and our baby boy, and coordinating t-shirts for him and our 3 year old girl that they'll give to him on father's day. We'll be down in Destin, FL father's day weekend so we'll probably sit on the beach all day and let him pick where we have dinner.</p> <p>No clue what I'm getting my dad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547042 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:32:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2547042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsRoo: I saw that on Pinterest and immediately thought of FIL! Rite Aid always has crazy candy sales, so check there! I need to come up with some alternatives because some of the candy used in that image are British. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547040 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:31:33 +0000 josina 2547040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a picture of my dad on his John Deere tractor with my DS on his ride-on tractor that I want to get printed on wood from woodsnap.</p> <p>As far as DH... no idea yet. He's not super sentimental and I did some cute pictures for him last year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-given-any-thought-to-fathers-day-yet#post-2547038 Thu, 12 May 2016 08:29:56 +0000 MrsRoo 2547038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I love that sweets card!! My FIL has quite the sweet tooth, too. Definitely stealing that for him this year!</p> <p>We've done the DAD frame every year with DD1, and I got DH an album to keep the pictures in for each year. Excited to do it again with both girls. His "gift" is going away for a weekend to see a concert with his buddy. On the day of, we will let him sleep in, make breakfast, and let him dictate what else he wants out of the day. Golf maybe? </p>
