DH kind of flubbed our anniversary and Mother’s Day so I’m (FFFC?) struggling to feel motivated. I’m thinking a fire pit maybe? My dad may get a cold brew thing but honestly he’d be happy with something super practical. One year we got them tickets to a big brew fest so maybe I’ll try that instead.
Any fun plans or gift ideas?

I bought H and L matching shirts. H’s says Sunday with a football on it and L’s little onesie says Funday with a football.
Then I got a magnetic driver set that H texted me about a while back. I’m hoping he forgot about it and will be surprised.
We don’t have any fun plans. We’ll be at my parents that weekend for a wedding so we’ll be spending Sunday driving back home and going to the grocery store probably. 🤷🏼♀️

I just got him a T-shirt that I found advertised on fb that had some dinosaurs on it. Dd saw it and is really into dinosaurs right now and said we need to get that for Daddy! We don’t normally do big gifts so it works.

I'm trying to order Copy and Paste shirts for DH and DS, but I've apparently forgotten my PayPal password. 😑 I got DH a large chocolate bunny at Easter because that is what we always got for my dad but can't anymore because of Drs orders. 😔
ETA my birthday is the day before and DH works all weekend so I think we'll go to Texas Roadhouse Friday night.

We (MH) does very little for Mother’s day. I might get flowers from him if I’m lucky and he remembers.
So for him I got a Shutterfly picture mug with the girls pics all over it. It’s cheesey and says best dad ever or something.
He will carry it proudly around work and make people look at his kids.

MD, our anniversary, DS’s birthday, MH’s birthday, and FD are all close together for us so it’s a tad stressful buying back to back gifts. I just ordered an LP player since ours broke and am calling it a gift. I might have the kids do a craft but idk.

I got my H a tile because he's constantly losing things lately. I also made him a print of this that she's "we love Daddy because..." Underneath.
Poof
I need ideas for my dad though... |

DH is getting a cooler light for his RTIC and a Sandlot shirt I found at Old Navy (that’s his favorite childhood movie).

Even though DH got me nothing and did nothing for me for Mother's Day 😬, I still got him a gift. He sucks at holidays and gift-giving, but he's an awesome dad. So, i wanted to do something.
Anyhow, I got him a Fitbit and one other small item from Amazon that he was wanting. I'll have the kids make him cards this week too.

I've gotten him a valet tray to replace the cheap bowl he currently stores his stuff in and one of those cute little blocks that has a cute "Daddy of"-type phrase on it. I don't remember the exact words.
We're also probably going to take him and FIL out for dinner and I'm not sure if there's a plan for my Dad. We might wait until my brother flies in from his station the week after.

We were I at Disney World over Mother’s Day and DH didn’t do nythimg special for me. He didn’t even feed L his bottle so I could go the buuffet we were at for breakfast 1st. DH actually has to work of the day on father’s day so I will go spend some time with my dad and will probably take DH out for dinner.

I didn't get anything for Mother's Day from SO and the kids and I'm still a little pissy about it. I'll probably just get him a cheesy dad mug or something.
My dad told me (before I asked) that he wants a new ratchet set and there's a specific one that's only on sale until Thursday. Pretty sure he was only half joking.

Ok I got DH a mug and planned a date night and I got my dad a Viking bowling set and will do an interview about him with DD1. She’s ridiculous so it should be pretty funny.

We always head down to the beach for the week on Father’s Day. I bought him a new Dad mug with the kids bdays on it.
Our 15th wedding anniversary is the 21st so I bought him a new cobalt ring to replace the one that’s too small for him since he started cross fit. It’s not as heavy/nice but it will do its job.

We have a really crappy hand-me-down BBQ so I think I'm going to shop for a new one this weekend and give that to MH. I'll get him chocolate, too, since he's an addict.
