Father's Day

What are you giving your dad for Father's day?  I am procrastinating on this yet again... no idea what to do.

Re: Father's Day

  • My dad is impossible to buy for.  I think I'm just going to pick up a couple of shirts and call it a day.  We're also taking him and my grandfather out to dinner (Chinese hot pot).
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • I usually send him a gc to Bass Pro Shops but he is visiting me now, so we took him to a jazz brunch instead!
  • We're flying down to VA to visit and I also got him a golf shirt and I believe my mom got him something that is from all of us.

  • It's a joint gift from us, brother and gf, and my mom, but we got a tv for him to hook up on the porch to watch the Sox games out there.

    I know you didn't ask, but DH is getting this shirt.

  • My dad can be tough to buy for too, but it's because he likes a lot of things, so its hard to narrow it down. Last Sunday we went to Sonsie for brunch and afterwards we went into the Life is Good store and I bought him a t-shirt. I'll see him this weekend and we were planning on going to the Paramount for breakfast with my mom. I'll probably get him a card too.

  • My dad will just be getting a card for now. Then hopefully sometime in the next week he'll get to hold his granddaughter.

  • Aaaaah Kiwi and JCam, I can't believe how close you both are to having your babies!  How are you feeling?

    Thanks for the ideas, everyone.  My dad is so hard to shop for.  When he wants something he just buys it himself.  I got him a card, and the gift will have to just be a game-time decision when I go to the mall tomorrow.

    I feel like this is so true for all men. And they always do it right before some kind of gift giving event.. they never buy things at random times when you aren't thinking about getting them as a gift!

    I'm doing well, thanks :-) Found out I'm growing a giant baby, so I'm hoping I'll go around 38-39 weeks. My luck I'll be induced at 41 1/2 weeks hahaha.

    Oh no!  It's just an estimate, right?  Maybe they are wrong.  Did you settle on names yet?

    Yeah it's definitely just an estimate, but DH keeps reminding me they could have guessed low. Thanks a lot, a-hole! We said we were going to pick two of each, but we are stuck on one of each right now. We wanted to make the final decision when we saw the baby, but we don't like anything else! So right now it's Isla James for a girl or Jameson Andrew for a boy :-)

  • I think if babyCam is a boy and you go with Jameson TK/N/B should let you change your name to jCamcubed and keep all your posts.

  • I can't believe how close I am either!  It's exciting and scary all at the same time. 

    I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. Some days I'm just exhausted and achy but as long as I take time to relax and put my feet up it's not too bad. We are finally opening the pool this weekend and dangling my feet in today felt amazing.
