a gift for dh?

[ttcanxiety]

did/will anyone get their dh a gift for the birth of their baby?
When ppl come to the hospy they generally spoil mum and bub, and dh get mum flowers and so on... but its a big thing and a life changing event for dh also... i was thinking of getting dh something nice but have no idea what?

i pondered this for weeks - came up with some ideas, tried to organise it - nothing came together. when it came down to it, DH was just happy to be able to meet our baby. we didn't want gifts - we wanted HER.

if you want to get something, do you know the gender of your baby? do you have a name? can you get a little keyring or something with "for Daddy, from xxx" or something?

I bought husband a very trendy 'nappy' bag for fathers day last year. It is quite blokey (brand is Crumpler) and not specifically a nappy bag, but has all the pockets and other things that nappy bags have.

He loves it. It's different to mine so when he goes out he has all of his bits and pieces that he needs.

What a great idea!! I hadn't thought of this but will definately be organising something for DP, he's been such a champ throughout the whole pregnancy.

thanks for the replies
Briggsy- nope dont know gender or names (i know cutting it fine).. We both are more then happy to recieve bub and no presents i just wanted to do something nice for him.
Fiona- the nappy bag we have is very unisex tbh

Maybe a special toy that is for DH and bubs.

You can get a lot of "my daddy is special" from the gift places. Maybe something like that for bubs first photo with daddy.

I'm going to get DH a baby sling (a manly one) so that he can look groovy carrying bubby around. I also like the idea of the boy nappy bag!!

Maybe one of those?

I got my hubby a digital photo key ring, so he could put bubs photos on and show everyone at his work. oh and some lolly cigars so he could hand them out

Not sure with this one.

DH got a box of nice cigars when DS was born!

same ive got my dh a nice CIGAR and a BOTTLE of very exspensive scotch

DH has already got a bottle of very nice scotch (Johnny Walker, Blue Label) we got it as one of our wedding presents, but he's saving it until little one is born. Pity...I kinda wanted a taste of it but I'll be either asleep, in hospital or breast feeding. I have heard sooooo much about it from everyone, and how nice it tastes, it was $250!

The sling sounds like an excellent idea, as it's DH's first bub I just know he's gonna want to take her everywhere to show off his little girl
