Ideas for father's day presents wanted

[amydown]

So, this is the first father's day since the wee man was born and I was going to get a mug with baby's hand prints from All Fired Up for my husband.

I then suggested we get that for the grandads and therefore, can't get it for husband any more!!! (True baby brain moment).

Any ideas? (This is a present from baby to daddy)

we always found a bottle of fine ale went down well- induces sleep in Dad too.

Well really it's from you as the baby is too young to know who the hell Daddy is! Fathers day is extremely artificial anyway. I should know. I am one. Thank god they pay no attention to it. But if you want to be soppy about it just get him something he likes. You don't need to ask anyone for help with that as you know him best!;-)

Don't think it matters if Grandad's got it too- last year we made a batch of mugs for Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, Great Grandma, Great Grandpa. My OH loves drinking from his mug and E's feet look so small now!

There are lots of ideas on Turprint- keyrings, fridge magnets etc- quite sweet!

Have seen some gorgeous cufflinks with a baby fingerprint on - very sweet.

We're getting him a professional photo session so that he has some lovely photos of him and the girls. (I might end up in some of the photos too - if they catch me!)

I bought my darling husband one of these silvery key rings a few years ago, and he is really proud of it. It is from a company called Chambers & Beau, and has our children's names and dates of birth engraved on it.

I think notonthehighstreet.com has some nice present ideas - they do quite an extensive range of things that can be personalised.

Thank you all. More shopping projects - love it!

Twisted & twee (online but local co) does a great line in 'pint' tshirts for dad with 'half pint' long sleeved tops in contrasting colours for the wee one (esp. suited to little boys I'd say). Cotton is really nice quality too. Unfortunately, I already bought my husband a set for his birthday in may so alternative suggestions are v helpful!!

Ps. Some brilliant fathers day cards in postmark!

I think I'd just like to be with my wife and daughter, and not have to do anything all day. That would be a nice pressie.

How about this 'Make mine a pint' gift? It's a pint glass with a pair of socks and a washcloth

The fathers day presents I have received from my eldest daughter is to spend a few hours doing something together,

we have eaten on a ship on the thames,

had the day in Kew gardens

and another at RHS Wisley,

went to the new-ish art gallery with the wobbly bridge,

none of these presents cost the earth,

but we do have memories of them all which would not be the case of a gift.

When is father's day?!

[MrsMc]

Did the all fired up thing this week, it was brilliant fun! Will def go back for more spurious gift giving!!

A mug printed with a photo and a message, bit tacky but we have quite a few of these now from different occasions, and they are nice memories

Truprint etc do them
