Hi everyone just wanting to get some ideas for Fathers day, was hoping some people could let me know what your getting for your special partner this Fathers day and maybe I could steal some ideas lol. What do you get the man that has everything? Oh yeah not to expensive either.:thumbsup:
I am getting biscuits with edible pens for the girls to decorate from Becca's biscuits, she is a marketplace member on here.
I'm thinking if just taking a day out fishing, packing the car and just going somewhere he loves.
But we normally do something with his parents so might do it the day before!

I made a photobook through Snapfish of pics of DH and DD. It's done like a story book, so DH can read it to DD.
Same here, great minds think alike!!:
Also, an electric toothbrush, book on classic cars and a photo mug - also from snapfish! Gotta love snapfish!
DH is going on a fishing charter this year as we're in QLD on holidays. He's also getting a new book to read while we're away.
We wouldn't normally spend that much though so last year he got a magazine subscription and a special personalised mug for the office with our favourite pic of DD on the front and personalised message on the back. He loved it and so did I so I bought two so we could keep one at home! LOL!
This is DH's first Father's Day, and he's getting boots for his dirtbike lol. They're expensive so the trade off is I get to spend plenty in the cloth nappy hunt lol.
But I'm also going to get him a stubby cooler or something from snapfish with a pic of him and DD.

Not sure what to do... We didn't do father's day last year, as it was only a few days after finding out about DD's birth defect, so we were kinda bummed.
And mother's day last year was when I found out I was pregnant....
This year, DP (and I guess DD!) bought me a limited edition Lee Kernaghan thingy. Its a frame with pictures and CD's in it.
I'm thinking of maybe getting him another record (you know, those old round things!). I got him one for his birthday last year and he loved it!
Just ordered a stubby holder off snapfish - they sent me an e-mail with a 30% off code so i got one for DP's dad too.
DP's has a pic of him and the girls when they were a little younger in his fave place, it's our desktop background. He's not a big fan of the photobooks etc but i might make one next year for him and scan in some of DD1's kinder work etc.
We are getting DH a transformer sticker for the back window of his car. Have seen a couple around & even on a black car like ourse & he loved it...not to expensive either. As his birthday is a week later & he won't be here he is also getting a ripcurl backpack & just a lunchbox from Woolies. He's just started an office job & needs something to cart his stuff around in.
DS1 is decorating a stubie cooler @ kindy, that should be cool.
Some great idea on here lady's thankyou
I'm getting these too :) will also get a card and get DS to make one too:
I make DH a calendar every year of photos of him and the girls.
The boys got dh some Lego technics as he loves it. Our wedding anniversary is the day before and I'm getting him a special tamper for his coffee machine. His birthday is 2 days after fathers day and he's getting more Lego :D
I have NO idea, its DH's birthday this sunday so i have to get some idea for that yet lol
I think were getting DH a proper tool box as all his tools currently reside in a cardboard box!!
I am also hoping to get a logitech harmony remote as he spotted it on special at Aldi and asked for it. We have so many electrical bits and pieces it's not a bad investment in genral!
I just ordered a bunch of printed cards on Hallmark online - the ones you can personalise with photos.
Four cards - one for my brother's first Father's Day, one for my Dad - his first one as a Grandad; one for my ex's Dad (again first one as a grandfather) and one for Jim's Dad.
As awkward as our situation is I feel I have to give Jim's Dad a card on my son's behalf, which I have done.
I have been selecting photos to also make an album, I had planed to get it printed at harvey norman but thanks to this thread I think snapfish may be better :D
I'm thinking about framing one of the 3D ultrasound pics of our baby for him, especially if I get a good one tomorrow :)
I did that for DP with booths girls and wrote "can't wait to meet you" :):

Ok so i ordered DP the stubby holder from snapfish, it came it was gorgeous then DD1 dobbed us in and he has it already BUT i plan on stealing it back and putting it in with his other presents which are:
1. Wooden Toolbox DD1 has painted and decorated all on her own - HERE - she got it from bunnings and finished painting it today.
I am going to put the stubby holder, some peanuts, chicco's and a few other small items in it and wrap it in cellophane.
2. DD2 helped me make and paint THIS - we then put in some photo's, she attacked it with glitter & hearts, feathers and stickers.. it's even cuter as she helped me make it.
I'm thinking i might just get my DH a bunnings voucher... He's into those Ryobi tools (that have all the interchangable batteries?) and I have no idea which tool he actually wants next?!
Does that sound like a bit of a dodgey gift?
Not at all Helle i think it's great.. maybe your DS could make a card and you could write an I.O.U 1 Ryobi Tool :rofl:
They are expensive and it would be a PITA if he had to return it as he already has it or doesn't NEED that one so your giving him what he will eventually WANT :p
I got DH to write a list awhile back with all the tools that were on his wishlist- brand, type, size. It worked great cos for his bday,christmas etc for the next 3 years i was covered (as well as had suggestions for his family). Need to get another list going.
Helle, going to Bunnings is as exciting as a present anyway ( for my DH, and he is 'training' DD). Add a sausage from the sausage sizzle out the front and he will be in bliss!
DPs stash is now as follows:
Toolbox, bombers shirt, bombers boxers, ACDC beer stein (plastic), pack of chiccos, pack of peanuts, hand painted home made frame, photo stubby holder, home made choc mint balls & a voucher that says " you've got the toolbox and plenty of tools, so we thought we'd let you choose, we owe you 1 tool purchase if your choice".
What did everyone else end up with?

Wow that list is HUGE!!! Lol one spoilt daddy there.
He's getting a stubby cooler decorated by DS1, a I love Daddy coffee mug, pkt of beer nuts a cooler bag & Rusty backpack for work. He is new to an office job after working in the field for 10yrs and takes all his stuff everyday in a plastic bag.........time for somthing new.
I got my 3 year old to draw a story for her daddy ... She has been working on it for about 2 weeks, so there's about 10 pages of things she *loves to do with daddy* hehe
And she also wrote what each picture was about (I had to write down what was going on in each picture and she then copied the words onto her book)
She also picked his card out, which sends her into stitches! Tis a Homer and Bart Simpson one! the talking ones ... aye aye ayeeeeeee
Also just grabbed him some chocolates...the man is a chocoholic!
DS1 made something at kinder, no idea what. Bought DH a pillow cause his sux and he keeps jumping onto my pillow when I get up to go to work. And Woolies has these 1kg whitmans chocolate boxes for $25 so got him one of them too.
DH LOVED his book!! I loved making it too. I ended up getting a 20cm x 20cm hard cover book from Harvey Norman as they had a special on for Fathers Day and I liked the options better for making it as in colour, boarders etc. I turned the photo book into an actual story book that dh can read to ds :)
I had gotten a joke gift of socks, undies, chocolate and a magazine for DH as our baby's due date was Tuesday 6th. However after a very long induction process, will be giving the ultimate gift today - our first bubs!!
That sounds like the best Prezzie idea in the world lol were outdone
He got to pick the name too :)
