Following! I need to figure this out and fast!
-
I got my husband a razor set from Harry's and subscribed him to the monthly services for razors.
My daughter and I are making a key chain for him for her gift.
-
D likes to get a Hawaiian tee for Father's Day, so I'm going to get him one, and he would really like a circular saw (I'm undecided about that).
-
We made FIL a mug at Tiny Prints. I'm not sure yet what to do for my dad and DH.
-
@aegie: I just ordered DH a razor set from Harry's based on your comment! Thank you!!
-
I'm thinking about getting FIL one of those salt grilling blocks. Does anyone know how well these work or have tried one before?
For DH, I'm thinking about getting him a golf swing analyzer that attaches to your golf glove. It syncs with your smartphone, so you know your swinging info.
-
It's his first Father's Day so I went a little overboard. Sunglasses, this cool shirt about beards (he loves his beard) and matching hats for him and LO that look like the ones of his favorite golfers wears. I will tone it down next year lol.
-
I bought him a Man Crate because I couldn't figure out what to get him. Then I saw that one of his fave bands are coming to town so I bought him tix to that, too!
-
I have been saving money for awhile. He has no clue but I am going to get him a Big Green Egg. He has been wanting for awhile so I can't wait to surprise him!
-
I got him a GPS Golf Watch...I think he is going to love it and be so surprised!
I also got him the new Jimmy Fallon picture book, "your baby's first word will be dada"... It's a running joke in our family..for the longest time DD would only say Dada, just because she knew it drove me crazy
-
A leather bound journal with DS's initials and the date of his birth (he's wanted a leather journal for a while now).
For my dad we'll do a bbq and have steaks and crab legs (well, this is for both dads :)) -
@Smurfette: My DH wants one of those too, but I think I'm going to wait a little while for that gift.
@Charm54: I've seen that book at a children's store. It looks hilarious!
-
@aprild: the golf swing glove is super cool!!! Can you share a link and let me know what DH thinks?
I'm sending DH out to play 18 with his dad and brother. I'm also going to attempt a sharpie mug with the kids. He's a big coffee drinker! The problem is finding the right mug. We'll also make a card for him and FIL. FIL's gift will be the round of golf.
@Smurfette: niiiice!!!! DH has been lusting after one for a while.
-
@regberadaisy: This is the link for it: http://www.amazon.com/Zepp-Golf-3D-Swing-Analyzer/dp/B00GRJCI58/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1433981515&sr=8-1&keywords=zepp+golf+swing+analyzer. It's a little pricy, but he's really getting into golf recently, so I think he'll like it!
-
I ordered and paid for biweekly yard service (mow & edge) for him through September. I know it's one of his most hated chores in the summer, so I figured it would be nice to take it off his plate.
-
@Charm54: I also got him that book from LO! DH likes Jimmy Fallon and I thought it was a cute book
I also got him an alphabet book "R is for Rugby" because he played rugby in college. http://www.risforrugby.com/
And an American flag grill spatula http://www.target.com/p/wemco-american-flag-spatula/-/A-17120395#prodSlot=medium_1_1&term=american+flag+spatula
I got my dad some binoculars and some wildlife/flora pamphlet guides for hiking.
-
Getting DH the Moto 360
-
DH loves his morning coffee so he's getting a french press, fancy coffee beans, and a mug with LO's photo on it.
-
I got DH: a jogging stroller (used off Craigslist - he has already used it!), new cologne, and a framed picture of him & DS from Minted.
I got my dad some photo magnets with pictures of DS. I need to figure out something for FIL bc DH hasn't done anything yet.
-
He really wants his car detailed, so we'll do that. But I think I'll also get him an awesome mug from starbucks and a gift card (cause car detailing is boring).
-
@namaste: my husband loves his...he's worn it nonstop since he got it as a birthday gift last year.
I am just doing cards. We decided to tone it down and I am honestly out of ideas that don't cost a fortune!
-
@Hoots: me too - yard service!!
I also made up a cutesy gift for him to take to work - he likes to have healthy snacks there -
I took 2 jars
1 with beef jerky and wrote "Dad, sorry for all those times we were acting JERKY"
Next jar of almonds "Truth is, we are NUTS about you!"
-
@QueensBee: Great idea! I think I am stealing it thanks!
He has been enjoying the photo books I put together through shutterfly so I am making him one with just pictures of the two of them from the past year. Hopefully, I can do it each year so they will have a collection of daddy/R books to look through. (I am not a terribly selfless person though so I am doing a mommy and me set too!)
-
@QueensBee: DH used a french press when we went to Turks, all the guy had we stayed with, now he wants one. I am going to save it for Christmas, so I will remember to ask you for a recommendation!
-
DH - grill, ours blew over in a storm this week and it was on its life anyways so it's time to get a new one.
FIL/my dad - we always get htem a Cabelas gift card, it is what they both want.
DD1 will make cards for all dads, and I think I'll do a handprint fish canvas for all 3 dads too from her.
-
@aprild: thanks for the idea! Def going to check out some golf stores today
-
@Smurfette: Awesome gift. DH got his just before LO1 was born, I guess it was his new Dad gift to go with my "push" gift. Your DH is going to be so thrilled and you are going to have lots of amazing food to eat.
-
He wanted upgraded tickets to a college football game, I told him to go ahead and get them and call it Father's Day. Really made my life easier. I was originally planning to get him pictures of our kiddos with a DAD or I

@MamaG: yes! Less I have to cook!
-
Got my husband a mug with pics of our son on it. And got a cute onesie to put DS in that morning.
Also got a hooded sweatshirt for DS in DH's favorite basketball team. Yeah, it's not for him to wear. But we both have everything we need and I thought it would be fun to surprise him with it.Lastly, as a sort of gag gift, I got him a bottle of Brut cologne. It's totally daddish and he has always told me he secretly loves it but wouldn't actually buy it. So I thought for his first Father's Day it would be cute.
-
Just a nice card.
-
We are doing a "staycation" in our home city (actually getting a hotel room though) so we will be away from LO overnight for the first time ever and have a nice dinner and brunch planned. DH thinks that's his gift, but I also got him two books and a keychain on etsy with geographical coordinates on it from where LO was born (I would post a link but it seems that the shop is on vacation now...hoping I actually get mine on time!).
-
I'm getting him a bunch of random things... like a small box of Slim Jims, his favorite chewing gum car cup, a Darth Vader #1 Dad tshirt, and a customizable tumbler (he doesn't drink coffee).
-
@Charm54: love the jimmy fallon book! I'm going to buy this!! (now i just need to figure out how to buy it on amazon without DH getting notifications, hahaha
)
-
DH just wants a Patagonia gift card (he likes shopping) and I got a book for my dad. This is so random but I also got my dad a set of those stainless steel straws because he likes making mojitos and always uses plastic straws with them. And he does prefer to reuse then be wasteful.
-
@2PeasinaPod: It's actually very well made and the my husband loves the razors. He was going to order one from amazon so I caved and gave it to him early!
-
I got DH a bottle keeper - https://bottlekeeper.com/ and a 6 pack of his favorite beer.
My dad is getting an elton john cd, a pic of him and LO on the beach, and maybe a shirt
My FIL is getting a bottle of whiskey
-
I always take the kids picture for Father's Day. We always do some nerdy thing that makes him laugh. We have done Star Wars and Dr. Who. This year was the avengers. I have a really nice one framed for him and then I make coffee cups for our dads and grandpa.
-
I got tickets for the 3 of us to go to a mets baseball game. (It will be DD's first baseball game ever!) I will probably also get him a new set of cufflinks (he lost his only pair recently) and a card. I will also be letting him sleep in, and making a delicious breakfast for us!
