    What's on your Fathers' Day present list?

    DP has asked for an electric chainsaw, so I'm getting him that.

    He's also getting a mug with the girls' photo on it and a box of worms for his worm farm, plus something DD1 has made him at school.

    I think he'll be very pleased.

    What's on the list at your house?

    DD1 - daddy is getting a key ring, step daddy gets some bendy man that holds pens
    DD2 - daddy is getting a cup, step daddy a stationary set
    DS - making both a card
    From them all - daddy is getting chocolates, a mug and 'My daddy 2013' statement cards. Step daddy is getting chocolates, 'daddy 2013' cards, boxers and a shirt

    DD3 (DH and my bubba) - a mug with her photo on it, shirt, and a first Father's Day card + 'daddy 2013' statement card

    What's on your Fathers' Day present list?

    A tool belt, also some new jumpers and shirts. The kids have both made gifts for him and planned a breakfast they are 5 and 3 yrs so glad I'm not eating it lol. DS also want to buy him a box of his fave chocolates but very logically suggested we should get chocolate we like too so we don't eat all of dads

    Bit of a naughty gift this year since we have been trying to move away from sugar and eat clean but we've made a big poster (on canvas) using chocolate bars in place of some of the words! I think he will love it. We have made it so when you remove the chocolate, the word is still underneath so it will still be readable and lovely to look at, decorated by the girls

    DH is off picking up his now lol. We don't really do gifts, but we've had some money come in and he found a motorbike he likes. It counts as both Fathers Day & 30th birthday gifts (in November). He will get something special from the kids for his birthday though, because by then we'll have two.

    For my Dad, most likely something Harley related as he's just bought himself one. Absolutely no clue about FIL. Far too hard.

    I have gotten a photo frame with three photos in a row. They are pictures of our 5 week old boy in his nappy. In the first picture hes holding a wooden 'D', second picture 'a' and then another 'd'.
    I'm using the term "holding" very loosely ofcorse
