i'm not sure either...
i have a few ideas pinned for the kids to make him - and me to do with photos of them... but as far as buying something for him- he picked out a wallet he liked the other day and we're holding that to give him for Father's day (the kids don't know he picked it out, lol)... I can't think of anything else.
his first year i gave him a digital frame and filled it with pics of DS1 - which he has on his desk at work and has added to- so that's an idea for you?

No idea. We're moving from to NC (leaving tomorrow, from CO) and will stop over at "home" for a few weeks. We'll be getting to our new house the second week of June, so it will be all I have just to get unpacked. I'm hoping to get to the beach and make sure its a special day though.
I already bought DH's gift because I have to give it to him early. We are leaving tomorrow to fly to DC to move him to Miami (military transfer). We are stopping here in Tampa for a week before he leaves to move into his new apartment and will not be home over Father's Day. He is coming home the weekend after because it is our anniversary and he missed our anniversary last year due to travel.
Anyway, I got him a Blu Ray/DVD player that is WiFi ready. He is not getting cable in his new place only internet and he has been buying BluRays for about a year now on new movies because his work laptop had a built in BluRay player. His new laptop for work probably will not have this so he will need a player for his place. I know he is dying to buy one and just hope he doesn't go out and buy one in next day before I can get to DC. He has a habit of buying things for himself within a month of a gift giving holiday or his birthday. It drives me crazy, grrrr! This is another reason I am giving it to him early before he actually goes to his new place because he would buy it for himself the week of Father's Day, not thinking that the next weekend when he comes home he may have one waiting for him as a Father's Day gift.
My DH just got a new bass guitar so the kids are getting him a new strap for it. I will also do the DAD pictures again this year. We won't be doing anything special that day because we will be traveling home from our vacation.
