Father's Day Gift Ideas for First Time Dad
« on: May 27, 2014, 11:28:59 AM »
My husband and I recently had our first baby (!) and I would love some ideas for a meaningful Father's Day gift. He knocked it out of the park for Mother's Day by writing me a beautiful letter and getting me a gift certificate for a photographer to take a family portrait of us with the baby.  He also gave me a spa gift certificate which is not mustachian but was very thoughtful.

I am already planning to write him a letter describing the qualities and values he has that I hope our son has as well.  I'm stumped for other ideas, though.  He talks about missing the baby while he is at work, so I'm thinking about getting a framed picture of the babe for his office.  Complicating matters is the fact that we just had our anniversary, where we went out for a lunch date while grandparents babysat.  His birthday is also right around the corner, and I already got him a pretty unique gift that I think he will like.

Dads, what is something you would have really appreciated on your first father's day?

Sexy time without worrying about a screaming baby interrupting.  :P

You could get an electronic picture frame and load it with a bunch of pictures of the new baby.

A nap.

A few hours to himself to go to a movie/hang with friends.

Sexy time.

The baby's hand print on a piece of paper, framed, with a picture of the baby (for Dad's office).

Doing a chore he normally does but isn't a fan of doing.

Alcohol and female (or male) nudity, preferably somewhere without children.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
