I know, Mother's Day was like a week & half ago. But, father's day is in like 3 weeks.
What's everyone's plans for father's day gifts? I did the D-A-D frame last year & I may update it with new pictures this year, but that seems kind of lame as his only gift. We just recently purchased a new grill, but we already had a really nice set of tools, so those are out; I got him a Hershel Co weekender duffle bag & toiletry bag for his birthday earlier this month. And now I have no idea what to get him for father's day.

Being as Father's Day comes after Mother's Day, my gifts follow the quality he gets for me. I'll start a thread tomorrow about this year's gifts... >.<

I will probably grab him beer or a beer t-shirt. Haven't figured out what to do with the kids yet.

I got DH and DD these from Etsy. I think he will love them since he's very into space stuff. (Mobile so hopefully this isn't huge.)  |

We don't usually do gifts, but H did Mother's Day up this year, so I need to do something. He's had his eye on a watch, so I'll get that and have the kids make him something.
He sent me to the spa, so I'll try to set up a round of golf with some of his friends. I should probably get on that.

H basically skipped mother's day, so I haven't decided if I'm going to skip father's day, or go all out for it.
I'm mature.

I got him kind of a gag gift. It's a shirt with a road print on the back so he can lay down and DS will drive cars over him. He likes massages, I hate giving massages. Win win.

MH just got a big birthday present so his Father's Day present is going to be a little smaller. I got him and the kids Spider-Man (his favourite super hero) graphic t-shirts.
We'll visit my parents for lobster dinner and probably go to a music festival.

I actually have already bought and given my husband his Father's Day gift. He got adult Wookiee pjs for himself, storm trooper pjs for our 2 year old boy and Wookiee pjs for our 3 month old daughter. Hehehehe. It still amuses me. He also got a 5TB external hard drive for his PS4.

Today's my anniversary and DH's birthday is the first week of June so I'm always stumped for Father's Day. He's not sentimental so it's extra hard. I'd love to steal an inexpensive idea from someone.

I'm mature. ::takes a seat:: He ran out of the house to tell me happy Mother's Day as I was leaving to go to my parents for the lunch that he decided to skip. I said, "don't forget to call your mom." I half expected to come home to something since he was home alone all day, but everything was the same as when I left. |

I have no idea. I have not thought of Father's Day. At all. I am an awful gift giver and usually just get him cards and call it a day.

Since it's MH's first Father's Day I'm going to do the baby's handprint on a baseball since it's his favorite sport.
The older two are going to paint a hammer to give him. I like that he'll actually use it for little projects around the house.
I'm sending XH a photo book with some recent pictures

We don't do gifts. I'll probably send him fishing that day. Win win for both of us.

I'm going to make up a frame with DS' handprint and this cheesy poem I found online. I'll share with the class for anyone wanting to steal it. Not sure what else I'll get him but there are a few golf items off this fun site that I'm looking at so probably one of those. I should just not do anything for him like he did on Mother's Day... Cheesy poem: Everyday I am exploring Touching everything I’ve found I leave behind my little marks and handprints all around You clean up those handprints But someday when I’m grown You’ll wish you had just one handprint to keep for your own I made this handprint for you So that one day when I am tall You’ll remember what my hand looked like Long ago when I was small |

I'm updating D-A-D pictures and getting him new shoes. I was sentimental for our anniversary gift a few weeks ago, so this is all I have haha.
I'm hoping he will want to go out to brunch but happy to him breakfast at home.

There's a brewers festival here that takes place Father's Day weekend, so I always buy tickets to that. I'm also thinking about getting him a beer cap map thing, but I can't decide if I want to get a USA map or a WA state map.   |

We don't too much. Every other year or so it ends up during our giant family vacation. All of the moms cook, and the dads end up doing the grilling. It's basically on big BBQ on the beach. We stay just south of myrtle beach, and it is way too crowded in that area to even try to attempt a dinner out.
I get my H cards and try to take care of all the kid responsibilities. Now that the kids are getting older, and he golfs the majority of the remaining days, he tries to squeeze in every minute he can with them. They usually do the pool, ocean, sand castles, etc. Basically the complete opposite of Mother's Day when I want a day alone and my goal is to not think of a meal or activity.

The kids will each pick out something small. We don't do big gifts or anything from me. An old dvd that's not available streaming, new cavs shirt etc

Idea for anyone who wants it: my friend has an Etsy shop where she makes these. There's a strong magnet behind the wood that catches caps. She can do any letter/design, so I wanted the Cardinals logo.  |

Dh slept through my mother's day brunch despite me waking him up. He's not getting anything.

He wants a framed picture of a cute one I took of him and DS1 and some sort of snazzy video game controller. I'll probably pay for him to have a round of golf in the morning, and get him some ribs to grill for himself in the afternoon. I may bake a cheesecake.
