Gifts from the littles to dad

[unclejesse]

What are you doing? I'm having a hard time coming up with something good and fairly inexpensive.

I usually get him a mug every year but I haven't planned it yet this year. He collects mugs so it's kind of an easy out

I got him a personalized desk calendar that will be from Ada. I might have her do a little art creation too if I get around to it

[muppetinma]

Is this a thing? I can pretty much guarantee that DH isn't getting me anything, from Andrew or otherwise.

Since I'm not supposed to buy DH a gift, I just ordered the free calender from shutterfly, and am wrapping that "To Mom and Dad from Jackson."

[fusion]

He gets me gestating another human for 8.5 months *harumph*. We don't do gifts to each other, although I'll get some boxers to shove in his stocking at least.

I am going to make an ornament with her, I think, and give that. Until she can pick out gifts herself, I'm going homemade.

Same

I'm not doing anything this year, but we're not really exchanging since we bought a car.

[unclejesse]

I meant something that looked like it came from A. Last year I got the book "Just me and my dad". It was like 5 bucks and A still makes MH read it to him a lot.

I will have C (4yrs) pick out a gift for DH from both boys, just something to get him to think about giving.

[Chrisx2+1]

Last year he got a hulk ( his fav comic character) action figure from Aiden. This year he's getting a scale model Audi. His favorite car.

[snorky]

My dog used to get my H pyjamas, but now that we have a kid, he gets him underwear and the kid gets him pyjamas. Growing up, my mother used to get trivial presents for my sibling and me to give to my father, so I guess that that has had some influence on me.

[Deleted]

I will probably sign all gifts as being from the kiddos.

[katfco]

I can't even figure out what to get him from myself.

[eav2c]

Nothing, really. He managed to spend basically every penny of the grown-up Christmas budget already. I did get him some Charles Tyrwhitt dress shirts that will be from C, I think

This is a great idea. Where did you get it?

[laurack]

I will not be doing this until she is old enough to understand it.

Amazon! It's by Mercer Mayer. I remember reading them as a kid, he has at least 30 different books.

I'm in this boat. Would live to hear of a dad buying a gift for mom from the kid(s). Anyone get one last year?

MH got me the "I love you forever" book from A last year. Shrug
