tjanca22, Yes, that would probably be so much easier. I remember what a pain in the ass it was getting kid 4 (who was 7 months old) to do a handprint two years ago, and I was not really looking forward to dealing with that with kid 5.

I just thought of something all on my own even though it has almost definitely been done before. What if you did kids' fingerprints several times in purple to make a cluster of grapes? And then said "you're a grape dad!" Thanks, wine.

Well, spinning off jubilantsquirrel's idea, I stumbled across a craft brewery of the month club. You can choose to do as many months as you want. I may do this and just do a couple months. I think he would enjoy it. Love this idea!

For our first Father's Day, I got DS and H matching "pizza" shirts and took them to lunch at a fanceh pizzeria. I'll see if I can find a pic.

tgrimes I've also done the picture mouse pad. I made it a collage of all pictures of the two of them. I guess I could make an updated one.

I did a picture mouse pad for my father years ago (like long enough ago that I think only my oldest is on it), and he really liked it. I also recently stumbled across a groupon for photo magnets, and I had them printed mostly for me, but I saved a few to give out to various relatives; I'm pretty sure you can get those through any of the sites that make photo gifts.
Also, I don't know if anyone's husbands or fathers are into baseball, but MLB TV tends to do a large discount (possibly 50%?) around Father's Day for the remainder of the season. My husband has bought that a few times for himself just to have access to any game he wants.

If any of your H's are Star Wars fans, I recommend these books.

DS is into Berenstain Bears these days and I just found a "we love our Dad" one! In the cart already.
Also, I bought Jimmy Fallon's Dada book a couple years ago. He wrote it trying to get his daughters to say dada as their first word. It's really simple, but kinda cute.

I did 3 pictures of dh and Lillian with the letters to spell "DAD" photoshopped in for his first father's day. Last year we made a painting that says "I (heart) Dad" with her handprint in the heart.
This year I bought "Goodnight Darth Vader." He loves reading to them and I thought he'd get a kick out of it.
