I'm staring at the internet, wondering what to buy for H.
Budget is probably a few hundred dollars, based on what he spent for Mother's Day. Which, thank god Mother's Day comes first because I can use that to gauge what I need to do.
Have you come up with any genius ideas for your baby daddy?

If that were my budget for H I'd probably get him one of those race car experiences.

I bought MH a motor for his boat for a Father's Day/birthday combo.

Does he grill? New grill accessories or bbq apron.
A reader? Books in an area he enjoys, book marks, reading light
Travel for work? New carry on bag and luggage tags
I’m just having the boys do a craft for Father’s Day and getting H a card.

I got H a smoker & gave it to him over the weekend. I’ll probably get him a snazzy meat thermometer for the day of 🤷♀️

MH likes beer. We always go to the WA state brewers festival Father's Day weekend. In addition to that, this year I got him a DrinkTank growler and I ordered a shit ton of random beers from CraftShack. I'm hoping I got at least a few that he's never tried before.
IDK if you're H is into beer. If not, what about sports tickets if he's into that? Maybe great seats at a baseball game?

I am giving him a night alone in a hotel, because it is what I would want.

H is into sweatpants, beer, and sports. And not much else. He's a tough cookie to shop for because he already does everything he wants.

MH really liked the idea of making a shadow box of baby stuff. Even insisted on buying the frame part when we were getting stuff for the nursery. I've been holding onto to sentimental stuff to pissy bolt put in it. With all that's happened this year, we just haven't had time to do anything with it. So I'm thinking of putting it together, but leaving room for him to add stuff too if he wants. I might also just get all the supplies together, and then we'll arrange it together on Father's Day.

A Webber meat smoker and new grill grates since ours have been used and abused. And probably some whiskeys to try some new ones.

MH has his eye on a new pair of sunglasses, but I'm deciding if I want to spend the obscene amount of money they cost. I have no ideas otherwise.

I got the undershirts for my SO and he loves them they don’t ride up. The fabric is butter. I haven’t read so I don’t know if it was already mentioned.

I usually get him a mug with a fart joke on it from Etsy. It was funny his first Father’s Day and he challenged me to find a new one every year.
Example That’s not a fart it’s my butt blowing kisses

He loves obscure beers! My friend and her H are big into craft beers and she was telling me about this entire world of FB groups where people ship each other craft beers from around the country. Like she came to visit me in MA and she bought a dozen cans at my local brewery to take home to OK to trade and sell people.

I just ordered some custom Nikes in our college team's colors.
It's hard to tell if the colors will be quite right, but I committed to it and the shoes should arrive just in time to be a week late for Father's Day! lol.

If he likes beer, and going off of jubilantsquirrel's idea, I have gotten H craft beer of the month type of thing from our local craft beer store. Once a month, we went to the store to pick up a box of various craft beers that the store curated for you.

MH isn't into much, just sports and beer. I'd love to buy him nice clothes or shoes but finding his size anywhere is next to impossible, so that's never an option.
