    What did you get/give to a first time daddy on Fathers Day?

    So from baby I am giving my DH a gold money clip engraved with "No: 1 dad!" in a case for his first Fathers Day

    I was wondering what you lovely ladies have done/did or do from your kids?

    I've gone simple (and it appears that alot of users have done the same!) and I got DP a stubbie holder from snapfish. It's got a picture of him and DD on it.

    We did a photo book from Snapfish (love them!) of heaps of different photos of DH and DD together

    I'm getting DP a new ipod. The one he has now is a bit ancient and a brick compared to the new ones out.. So I'm pretty sure he will appreciate his gift

    My friend is very crafty, so she made a photo frame for me to give to DP. It is a Geelong Cats frame with "Me and my Daddy" on it and a photo of the two of them.

    I got DH a silver bracelet from DS.

    This one, I took DS around the shops and I pointed to things and he would shake his heaad or nod and thats what we got. I took inspiration from the newsagents who are doing a 'dads bag' and we're bought a holographic gold bag and so far we've got a packet of mint biscuits, a can of pringles (well, the cheap version, called Mr Potato - DH actually prefers those over pringles anyways), Natural Confectionary Company Red Snakes and a brand new wallet (cause he's been looking for one)

    Taking DS out again tomorrow before work and getting him to pick a couple more things out for him. It's not much, but the fact that DS picked every single thing in the bag out will mean alot to him.

    For DH's first fathers day, I got some foot and handprints of DD's and put them in a frame with a photo of DD. He really appreciated that, but it didn't cost a fortune. Last year, I bought a canvas from the cheapie shops and DD paonted it - he now has a one off peice of art in his office I'm of the opinion that fathers/mothers day is definately an occasion when it shouldn't be about the money spent, but the thought thats gone into it. So something crafty is always good. hmmm, better get thinking on this years

    well seeing as i had my hopes up she would have been born this week i went and got dh a pair of shorts!
    so they will probably be a "thanks for putting up with me for the past 9 months" present
