"Dad-To-Be" Father's Day Gift Ideas

Tweet

 

Let's be honest. Pregnant women get most of the attention and pampering. But, we shouldn't forget about the men that have to deal with our hormonal rants, midnight cravings, and nesting. So, take this Father's Day (June 20, 2010) to show your husband that you appreciate all that he has put up with during your pregnancy by getting, or doing, something special this year.

If you are low on inspiration or creativity, here are some ideas that might work for the soon-to-be dad in your life:

• New daddy mug for the coffee he'll need to help get through the sleepy days to come
• Personalized picture frame with an ultrasound picture in it and a promise to update it with a picture of Daddy and Baby
• A fun "Dad" tee-shirt, CafePress has all sorts of designs... you could even design your own!
• Onesies for the baby with phrases such as "I love my Dad" or "My dad rocks"
• Homemade coupon book including coupons such as "Get out of a Diaper Change" (He'll love it for those nasty blow outs you will try to pawn off) "Get out of a night feeding" "Good for one boys night out"
• If he loves to keep his car clean, make him a car cleaning toolkit
• Set up a round of Golf for him and his friends
• A trip to an Arcade, Mini-Golf course, or Movie of his choice before the baby comes
• If he has a gun, get him a gun safe... it will help keep baby safe too
• A new camera or camcorder to capture all the special moments coming up
• A new watch... just make sure it has a second-hand so he can time your contractions
• A new wallet with pictures already inside, including an ultrasound picture
• A new grill if he needs one, or new grill tools
• A manly diaper bag filled with everything he'll need, one he can keep in his car

There are so many ways to show him that you care. Try to think of any hints that he may have dropped. If he's been commenting that he's craving seafood, take him out to dinner. Does he complain about his car being dirty? Surprise him by taking it to get cleaned when he's at work. It's all about the little things in life. You don't have to spend a fortune to honor the daddy-to-be.
