Thanks! I think that's what I'm leaning towards, too.

MH is not really a gift kind of guy so we will probably do some kind of activity of his choosing. Like eat and his favorite restaurant and go hiking or something.

I don't do much - I'll make a nice us a breakfast & dinner and buy his favorite cake. Like presents? Nah. MH and I aren't big present people. This. We will eat whatver he wants, do whatever he wants (likely letting him nap, day drink and grill ) but we don't really do gifts. I think I'm going to buy him the beard oil he got a sample of and liked, it's $15.

I'm also in the camp of probably won't get him anything because that's what he got me.
Although to be fair, he asked what I wanted and I said just a day for myself. I guess I didn't make myself clear.

My H got me a really nice David Yurman bracelet for Mother's Day so I feel like I need to do something "equal." I'm thinking maybe a new watch so I should probably start researching what type.

I got H and DS matching vineyard vines shirts. I figured I would put DS in his and have him give H his present. I'm not sure if H is going to love it or think I'm a weirdo. Guess we will find out!

I'll be borrowing an idea from Pinterest. Something like this, but maybe a different platter/design. I also plan to get a football team grill tool that he has wanted for a while. This is way more than what I got for Mother's Day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We did a join Mother's Day/Father's Day gift to ourselves and bought tickets to a concert this summer at one of my favorite outdoor venues. Win win.
I still need to pick something small for the kids to give or make for him though.

I want to do something like this but I'm not sure what I want to print the pictures on (apologies in advance if the pic is huge - I'm on tapatalk): I got him a "dad" mug for Christmas so I don't want to get it printed on a mug. Maybe just frame it and he can bring it to work? Then I was also thinking of buying him a round of golf at a local course as well.

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. ::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'm in this club. My H called two places to try to get a reservation the Saturday before Mother's day. I told him it would be impossible to find anywhere so last minute and suggested we just grill out instead. He let his dad go shopping for the food and cook everything, so, basically, he did nothing. I did get a card that I think he bought from CVS at 9 pm the night before, so I guess I didn't get nothing, just almost nothing.

We don't do gifts usually.
He did get me jewelry with the kids' birthstones the years after they were born, but I didn't even get a card this year.
He works in Father's Day, so I may have a regular take him a cupcake or something and I'll have the kids make him a craft and be done with it...unless their daycare craft is better than my idea, because, duh.

All H ever wants is time to do what he wants and not leave the property so we will be hanging out at home. I think I'll make a bacon wrapped roast or bacon wrapped chicken thighs. Or bacon anything really.

I don't know. He has been mentioning wanting a watch for a while but I'm not really sure if he will actually use it. He needs ties for work but that feels like a pretty lame gift. He's usually happy with a special baked treat and a good meal.

I have no idea what to do for my H. Last year he kind of dropped the ball, so I kindly let him know I was disappointed (I was pg with D2 and all I got was a verbal happy Mother's Day). So this year he went all out. I got to sleep in, he cooked a nice brunch and bought my favorite champagne, and bought me a spa day. All this to say, the bar is set high. I need to think of something good.

Last year H dropped the ball on Mother's Day (my first one). So I made a huuuuuuge deal over Father's Day. This years Mother's Day was much improved.
So this year I bought him a Fitbit and will probably frame a pic or have DS do a craft he can take to work or something.

I have no idea. He ran out at the last min Sunday morning and grabbed some flowers but that was it.Usually I would get a gift and grill him a nice steak and make some dessert but my Dad passed suddenly this year so my siblings want to get together that day. So now I'm not sure what I will do for DH.

This was my first mother's day and he went all out. Letting me sleep in, picnic in the park, wine. It was perfect so I want his to be great too, unfortunately we will be traveling Father's day due to a wedding. So I am planning on doing something a few days before but not quite sure what. We will be in Seattle for the wedding if anyone has some suggestions.

I picked up a hammock during a store closing sale a month ago and I told DH it was his early gift. He's wanted one for years so he's happy.

I have absolutely no idea what to do for my H. Mother's day fell on my birthday this year and he really went all out. I almost wish he had dropped the ball so I could get away with being lazy this time.
He isn't very sentimental so I think I will just take him to Home Depot and let him make it rain in the tool department. Very few things make him happier than that. This also satisfies my desire for laziness.

I will make him a special breakfast. Nothing fancy, but he's usually on his own for that.
I have already bought two cards (one from me and one from DS).
He doesn't get a gift, because we aren't gift people.
That's pretty much it, I am no help.

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. I got one of these for our state for our anniversary last year. I'm traveling next week. Maybe I'll pick up a few new beers and call it a day.

I usually a matching dad daughter set for H for FD. You should! They're some of the softest shirts I've ever felt. DH is going to be in heaven.

Actually, since it's been mentioned, all DH probably wants is sex. So I'll just give him that.

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 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The handprint on the baseball is a super cute idea!

I really like the idea of matching shirts. He likes taking the girls to comic cons so I could probably do a superhero theme. Thanks hive mind!
