My dad loves going once a month to their men's night so we'll pay for a couple months worth of classes.</p> <p>My FIL is getting some kind of fancy conceal and carry shirt he wants. not entirely sure what it is..husband is in charge of that one.</p> <p>Husband will get to pick his own gift this weekend on our babymoon/my birthday/father's day weekend get away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180943 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:48:03 +0000 sunshineandsushi 180943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I are announcing our pregnancy to our parents! We're driving down to both our dads' houses and are giving them Grandpa Father's Day cards and a t-shirt/hat combo that say #1 Grandpa. We are so excited! We were originally going to wait until after the first u/s, but once I suggested Father's Day to DH, he loved the idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180905 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:19:02 +0000 amy 180905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For christmas I gave my husband a keychain from sodderbug <a href="http://sodderbug.com/photo-charm-gallery/" rel="nofollow">http://sodderbug.com/photo-charm-gallery/</a> with a photo of my daughter on one side and my son on the other. For father's day last year I dressed my daughter (almost 3yr) and son (14 months) up in his dress shirt and tie and took photos and put them in a collage frame. This year I ordered a custom Iphone case, put a photo of them on the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180897 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 15:13:40 +0000 autumnlove 180897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no clue yet :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180868 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:52:49 +0000 mrsdoily 180868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a total nerd, so DH always gets a card and a little something from the cats (they are totally our furbabies). I'm really hoping that this year I get to give him a card letting him I know that I'm pregnant! I will be 12 dpo on Father's Day, so hopefully I get a BFP and can do it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180814 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:22:54 +0000 mediagirl 180814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yup, there are sprays you can use that you can get at Michael's or other craft stores. You can also get mod podge, which you layer over your project and it seals it in. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Podge-CS11302-Original-16-Ounce-Finish/dp/B001IKES5O" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Podge-CS11302-Original-16-Ounce-Finish/dp/B001IKES5O</a></p> <p> You could also get Thickers, which are sticker letters. I love using those. They have adhesive on them and they come in all sorts of colors and shapes and sizes. <a href="http://www.archiversannex.com/Stickers/Alphabets-Quotes-And-Words/default.aspx?PageID=20&#038;CategoryID=129" rel="nofollow">http://www.archiversannex.com/Stickers/Alphabets-Quotes-And-Words/default.aspx?PageID=20&#038;CategoryID=129</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180800 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:17:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 180800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking of doing a bracelet but of course the only bracelet I like is way too expensive!</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/35827680/mens-leather-cuff-bracelet-custom-hand" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/35827680/mens-leather-cuff-bracelet-custom-hand</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180784 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 14:04:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 180784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: aww I love it! that one is super cute.<br /> I think I will continue getting him one for each kid we have :) that's one thing I loved about the keychain idea, easy to add more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180763 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:45:30 +0000 regberadaisy 180763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I wonder if I can get stick on letters and spray a clear gloss over it to make it last? </p> <p>I still want to do the DAD frame I posted a while back but not sure how I'll get to the store to buy the letters!</p> <p>I already made him a "brag book" from snapfish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180745 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:32:10 +0000 mrs. wagon 180745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm considering this (thanks for the inspiration @Coco Bee!):</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/101125120/personalized-dad-fathers-day-custom" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/101125120/personalized-dad-fathers-day-custom</a></p> <p>but not quite sure what to put on each disc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-180740 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 13:29:39 +0000 MamaG 180740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking for ideas too! It's DH's first father's day and i'd like something material to commerate the occassion.

I want to get something similar, maybe a necklace, to signify the last father's day it will just be the 3 of us. Plus Wagons Sr. and Jr. share a name so it would be nice to do something personalized. Not sure how to go about this though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-173390 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:15:15 +0000 Lindsay05 173390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hopefully holding a newborn! We have a wedding to attend to on the saturday so it might be a busy weekend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-173378 Wed, 30 May 2012 11:10:23 +0000 heffalump 173378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: Super cute, and a good price!</p> <p>I don't know what we'll do. DH is recovering from surgery and can't eat a lot, so I don't know if that'll be better by father's day or not. I got him his gift though- a gift certificate to do the fake surfing thing. He hasn't been able to swim for over a year because he had a colostomy, and he can't wait to get back in the water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-173037 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:28:23 +0000 mrs. wagon 173037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: that's adorable!!!!!</p> <p>Hmmm.... this will be Wagon Sr.'s last father's day with just a son in the house, so maybe I should do something similar... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-173032 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:24:25 +0000 LuLu Mom 173032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing for DH, he just got a new set of golf clubs so that is considered his gift. We are going to the lake with my family that weekend, so we will be celebrating with my entire family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-173006 Wed, 30 May 2012 08:00:47 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 173006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No clue yet. We said we wouldn't do anything (I didn't even get a happy mothers day) but I'd like to do something small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-173001 Wed, 30 May 2012 07:56:51 +0000 chopsuey 173001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO and I are making him something and we'll probably go out for brunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-172940 Wed, 30 May 2012 04:39:58 +0000 mediagirl 172940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure.....it will be his first Father's Day and I'd love to get him something sweet for it. He took care of me on Mother's Day and our LO wasn't even here yet. By June 17th, our LO should be here, so I would like to do something.. We certainly won't be going anywhere, though. I'm due June 9th. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-171567 Tue, 29 May 2012 02:17:07 +0000 Boogs 171567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing because we will be visiting family in another state. Maybe a nice dinner when we get back? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-doing-for-fathers-day#post-171547 Tue, 29 May 2012 00:06:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 171547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing too extravagant, but I will make a card and sign it from LO and get a sentimental gift since it's his first fathers day.</p> <p>I am thinking of something like this with our son's name on it<br /> <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/98004927/custom-pet-id-tag-dog-tag-riley-in-mixed" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/98004927/custom-pet-id-tag-dog-tag-riley-in-mixed</a><br /> He is totally sentimental and I think he would totally gush over it. I love it :) </p>
