SMW85 there is also a great little book called My Dad. The author is Anthony Browne. My kids have really liked his books.

I try not to do too much for Fathers day. He will probably get a homemade card and some baking or something along those lines.]]> Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:44:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1380465&title=fathers-day-ideas#1380465 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1380209&title=fathers-day-ideas#1380209 Author: T_Rex

Mango, DD/DH have the same book. Also some of the spot books have spots dad in them too. The lift the flaps makes them a huge hit with my DD.]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 18:48:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1380209&title=fathers-day-ideas#1380209 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1380067&title=fathers-day-ideas#1380067 Author: smw85

That sounds so cute!! I'll check on Fishpond, they should have it. DH loves reading to DS, so that would be perfect.

I also bought last month a Milkshake machine for Fathers day, and then did some sneaky questions like randomly saying Oh a Milkshake machine would be cool on a sunny day like this. And DH was like, yea nah not really. Ha! So that is still hidden in the office - not quite sure what I will do with that. Maybe bring it out before the cool Fathers Day gifts. :-) I am sure I will love using it anyways!]]> Thu, 25 Aug 2011 12:47:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1380067&title=fathers-day-ideas#1380067 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1380048&title=fathers-day-ideas#1380048 Author: Heidi7

I've got my DH a book called 'kisses for Daddy'. It's about a bear and his dad and the baby bear wouldn't give his dad any kisses but at the end he gives him a bear hug and kiss. It's got lovely illustrations and would be perfect for dad to read.

For our 1st Fathers day he just got a mug and premission to spend money on another tattoo (which he never did anyway) Second Fathers day DD was just over one, I got a nice peice of black card & some white & pale paints for her to do a painting with then framed it.

Not original but I just bought a frame with space for 5 photos and am going to photograph the kids holding a letter each spelling DADDY (2 photos of each of them then for the Y, they can both be in the photo).]]> Wed, 24 Aug 2011 12:31:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379623&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379623 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379585&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379585 Author: ....

Super tempted to give some kind of sarcastic gift for DSs absent father. I saw yazoom has a special on those harvey norman photo books - $30 something for the book. If thats within the scope of your budget could get one printed up of daddy/daughter photos, or photos of her holding a different letter on paper in each one to spell LOVE YOU DADDY or something.]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 21:42:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379504&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379504 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379440&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379440 Author: raz_1984

I'm still UTD but want to get DH something for Father's Day from Bub (he got me a clothes voucher for preggy clothes) but not really sure what. I was going to get a shirt that says I Dad on it but can't find one anywhere!!!
Can't wait until next year for Bub to actually give a gift.

I'm quite fond of crappy gifts when it is for traditional holidays rather than 'you're awesome!" times year-round.

DS will be giving his Goddad a shirt and tie set, if I can find a Godfather card, a dad one might be a bit awkward. ]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:10:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379351&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379351 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379317&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379317 Author: caliandjack

DH is home and he gets a sleep in every weekend Father's Day won't be any different.

Something photographic could be nice. We will probably go for a family picnic depending on the weather.

No way would I want to be UTD this year.

I've seen story books about Dad's will probably get something like that.

I got a new camera for Mother's Day I don't have that much of a budget for him would like to get him something nice.]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:31:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379317&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379317 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379225&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379225 Author: RedHeadDuck

I found a really cheap, amateur photographer ($30) and I'm getting a few photos done of just Willem. I'm also going to get him to draw in a card, it won't be great but that doesn't matter, right

After getting professional family photos done i would also suggest a voucher for family photos. I am so stoked with ours! It's not an exciting present, but photos last a lifetime, and even my husband is stoked as with the photos we just had done!]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 11:55:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379225&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379225 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379194&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379194 Author: T_Rex

Hehe Mrs Emma.

C&J will your hubby be home for fathers day or are you looking for something to post to him?

Last year DH got a story book to read with DD. I also got her to draw on some paper to make a card (just with pens I had around the house, I didn't buy anything special).

This year I think we'll go on a picnic and to the park or something - try to get some family time in just the three of us before we become 4.]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 10:26:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379194&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379194 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379177&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379177 Author: MrsEmma

We did hand prints on a tile with a message at Paint The Earth for DH's first Fathers Day last year. We also found out I was UTD on Fathers Day so that was a pretty good present in itself

Not sure what I'll do this year, maybe the same type of thing but with DD's footprints and something else from DS, I might get him to do a painting and frame it as his first to hang in our new home when we move in a few weeks.

Definitely no UTD present this year though!!]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:53:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379177&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379177 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379172&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379172 Author: sbeach

Our first Fathers Day too!!! I have just got a mug for DH from snap fish. Only $25ish including delivery.

How about a mini digital photo frame for his key ring, can take it anywhere...

Dont have anything special planned... prob allow him to sleep in! and do brekkie in bed...

Am toying with the idea of getting messy with DD and making a card but would have to buy paints and $25 was my budget!]]> Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:41:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379172&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379172 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40285&PID=1379170&title=fathers-day-ideas#1379170 Author: tishy
