 Topic: Fathers day Ideas
Posted: 24 August 2008 at 8:39am |
What are you getting your DH, DP or DF this Fathers Day?
I was thinking of getting something printed onto something so he can have in his office at work.
What are your ideas?

We don't normally do fathers day other than a sleep in is granted. But this year DH has been wanting a razor so might get him that.

A friend of mine is taking a photo of her 6 month old DS holding a sign saying 'I love you Daddy'.
I'm going to do the same with the girls I think.

Our Toy Library is doing hand and foot prints on tiles as a fundraiser so DH, my Dad and maybe FIL will get one (Otherwise FIL and MIL will get theirs for xmas).
Then DH is getting a bathrobe (he doesn't have one) with Dad or something similar stitched on it. We are putting $$ on a pressie card with my brothers for my Dad so he can get whatever he wants for the bus he is doing. Have bought a book about scenic driving tours in NZ for FIL as thought he an MIL could do some of them on the motorbike.
A very expensive time for us! But I like it

lol Alex, yip that's the one. DH only shaves once a week as he's a bit of a slow grower to but hates the baby face look. Anyways I bought him one at the grocery shop and hid it in my handbag as DH puts groceries away......and he found it when looking for the car keys, gutted. He was stoked though and can't wait till next weekend when he has enough hair to try it out on.

I was going to give him a mug with pictures on the girls on it but then I forgot about his birthday so ended up giving it to him then  Looked awesome!(yay for snapfish - free shipping too  )
Will have to think of something else for fathers day.
Oh and I must remember to get something for our own dad too- I have forgotten them the last 2 years
When is fathers day anyway??Am I about to miss it again?

DH is getting a Disturbed ticket seeing as he's been away so much and has earnt a bit of extra $. He'll get a lie in, a card and a couple of boxes of scorched almonds.
My Dad gets a box of scorched almonds (always!) and I think that Shed magazine, he commented about it tonight so I think its a winner.

My dad is getting a phone call and DH will get a lie in, a cooked brunch and a handmade card.
We don't spend money on Father's/Mother's Days but both men had several hundred dollars spent on them for their birthdays this year so they can't complain.
