You read my mind AJP! I have been racking my mind over this for days! I know my DH wants a digital camera he can take away with him with the Army but I won't let him use my digital SLR (aren't I mean?) so thought about that as he can use it to take piccies of bubba as well.

What about doing a print of the babies feet soon after the birth and framing it for him? You could pre-purchase a frame and then put a piccie of DH and bubba in it with the prints?

My only ideas are things I KNOW DH wants/needs like a new wallet (with a piccie of bubba in it) or a chess set I can engrave "From xxx" (whatever we name our baby!). I've also thought about a nice pen with an egraving like "To my Daddt Love xxx" and the date.

Can't wait to hear what people suggest!
