It's kind of ugly, but he'll love our and mil said it was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1694064 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:55:55 +0000 coopsmama 1694064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a card. Oh, and he's coming to my house that night for a dessert buffet but that's more in celebration of C's 1st birthday!</p> <p>We're not too big on Mother's/Father's day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1694047 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:45:53 +0000 Running Elley 1694047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: Well I just ordered mousepads for my grandpa and my dad. They're supposed to get here Monday. Boooooo. Oh well. I'll give them their cards on Sunday and let them know that their presents are coming. I think they'll both genuinely appreciate the mousepads and I'd much rather give them that than scramble to find something last minute that they won't use/like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693998 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:18:17 +0000 Running Elley 1693998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babyjmama: A mousepad is a FABULOUS idea! Crap. I think I'm too late lol. Shooooot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693995 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 16:16:20 +0000 wonderstruck 1693995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ughhh I wish I knew! I considered getting him a wood cutting board that had an image of Heisenberg on it and says, "Let's cook," but my mom said she would kill me. She's no fun :silly: </p> <p>Netflix is a good idea in theory, but he's hopeless with technology. One year I bought him a Harmony remote, and he still hasn't mastered the fact that when he wants to watch a movie, all he has to do is press the button that SAYS 'watch a movie.' Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693478 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:04:48 +0000 Dandelion 1693478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother is taking him to the US Open. So I got him a ball cap with the us open logo for him to wear to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693474 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:03:44 +0000 Alivoo01 1693474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: omg!!! That is such a freaking cute idea!!! I love it, love it, love it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693469 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 13:02:17 +0000 Alivoo01 1693469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm planning on getting my dad a new work wardrobe from head to toe (new shirt, pants, belt, socks, and shoes). He desparately needs it!! Everyone looks up to him at his job and he's a reporting manager. He needs to look better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693300 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:21:54 +0000 photojane 1693300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: It might be a lost cause with him. Ha! He can turn the TV on and press the channel &amp; volume buttons. Anything other than that, he calls for my mom. He's only 58 -- you'd think he's 80! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693296 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:21:24 +0000 catlady 1693296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got him a mug and photobook using pictures from LO's six month photo shoot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693294 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:21:03 +0000 doodlepoodle 1693294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: whyyyyyyy didn't you tell me that 2 years ago?!?! Cutest idea ever!</p> <p>I got my dad a shutterfly mousepad with some of his favorite pictures of J. I got the same for DH but different pictures </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693293 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:20:54 +0000 Smurfette 1693293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Sweet! I will wall you my address. I should have time. R has her well visit tomorrow, so I have to take a half day but can't get her right away due to nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693288 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:19:35 +0000 photojane 1693288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: If you have the time to put it together, I'd be happy to send you the file. :) If not, I think framing toddler artwork is always cute! If you Google "I love you dad coloring sheet" there are a bunch of cute coloring page options. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693286 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:19:03 +0000 Adira 1693286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: hahahahaha, well maybe you could start him off with some stuff you'd think he'd like and teach him??? No advice there... my dad's a tech guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693282 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:18:36 +0000 lawbee11 1693282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him some Breaking Bad Heisenberg lounge pants! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693270 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:14:40 +0000 photojane 1693270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: @Adira: I think it's a great idea too, but my dad would have no idea how to operate Netflix. He has never even used a computer! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693269 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:14:13 +0000 Smurfette 1693269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: That is so cute!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693262 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:12:57 +0000 photojane 1693262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: That's awesome. I'm seriously jealous. I'd love to get sod put down... our yard is entirely weeds. It's awful. </p> <p>I made a little booklet in Word. A page for every year from now until she's 18 with a little space for her to draw him a picture &amp; write him a note. Then a place on the opposite page for a picture of them together. That way when she leaves for college, he'll have 18 years worth of notes/drawings &amp; pictures of them together. Obviously I had to write her note this year, but she colored the page! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693261 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:12:49 +0000 Adira 1693261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Save it for next year (and every year after that)!!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693251 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:11:30 +0000 swurlygurl 1693251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: That is an amazing idea - I wish I had seen this literally 10 minutes ago!</p> <p>I just bought my dad a new Starbucks mug + coffee beans (that are similar to my name! :) ). I have to ship gifts, so that makes it difficult. It's already probably going to be late... fail! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693217 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:03:54 +0000 Smurfette 1693217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: We got sod for our front yard last week, so I am calling that our gift. And the water bill will be a gift in itself. </p> <p>What did you make? I bought a card for R to sign, and I am guessing day care will do something, but I still want to do something with her but I haven't found something easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693205 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 12:00:30 +0000 photojane 1693205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We're not doing gifts for each other either! We try to stick to "experiences" instead of gifts. For Mother's Day we had a family day at the beach, and for Father's Day we'll actually be doing our family day in Mexico. I wanted him to have something from Sadie though, so she and I made him a little something! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693195 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:57:56 +0000 LovelyPlum 1693195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A picture of G for his desk at work :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693188 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:56:44 +0000 Smurfette 1693188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him a rotisserie for his grill. DH and I said no gift for each other for Mother's and Father's Day this year. Just a nice dinner at home Sat night and breakfast Sunday morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693181 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:55:24 +0000 Adira 1693181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My brother and I get my parents Netflix for Mother's Day and Father's Day every year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693180 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:55:13 +0000 Charm54 1693180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A simple human hands free hand sanitizer machine. Kind of a half joke because when he was in the hospital waiting room waiting for DD to be born he was obsessed with the hand sanitizer machine , lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-you-getting-your-dad-for-fathers-day#post-1693177 Wed, 11 Jun 2014 11:54:15 +0000 photojane 1693177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have my husband's gift from Sadie done already, but I have no idea what to get my dad. I got him a card, but want to do something else. Any suggestions? What are y'all doing? </p>
