    What is everyone getting their partner for Father's Day?  Last year, I made him some t-shirts with Addie's footprints on them and I bought him a digital picture frame.  For Mother's Day this year, he bought me a beach tent (if summer ever gets here, we'll be using it a lot!).

    Suggestions?  I like sentimental gifts paired with a bigger item, so I'm thinking of getting him a coffe mug with Addie's picture on it, but I'm stuck on what else to do.

    Last year I got DH a grill. The little one got me "kitchen gloves" (otherwise known as oven mitts) from Anthropologie this year. Which I love because it's the first year he could really pick something out with out any guidance. He knew exactly what he wanted. DH got me a spa day which was also stinking fantastic.

    Shutterfly is also offering 5 free fathers day cards(code:DADCARD. So I uploaded some pics and made him a great card that I know he will love and since 5 were free, I also made one for my father and grandpas :) They also have mugs on sale too :)

    This year I was thinking baseball tickets. You can get 2 pretty good seats on stub hub for about $100.

    Our baby isn't going to be here for another couple of months, but I got him a onesie that says "I love Chick-Fil-A." He has an obsession with Chick-Fil-A, so he'll love it!

    Thanks for the free card deal on Shutterfly! And thanks for the Father's Day reminder.

    I am going to get him a free Shutterfly card, a spa massage and i really want to find a matching shirt with a dress for my daughter. He loves Emi to pieces and apparently she has picked her 'favorite' parent as she lights up whenever he walks into the room, eyes glued.

    My hubby is a simple man, all he seems to ever want it tools.  So, Lil Man and I are getting him a tool each.  We are starting to fix up out backyard and we just bought him tools today that he'll be able to use for the project.

    I found a onesie on Cafe Press that says "Daddy's Little Gaming Buddy" for my XBox obsessed hubby!  It's perfect!

    Our mother's day was kind of a bust this year...

    For father's day, I'm getting Mr. DG a camera lens so he can take even better pics of the Bean :)

    Thought I'd revive this thread for the last minute shoppers.

    I'm at a loss on what to do/get, need more ideas!

    I got my husband a mug with addie's picture on it and an Ergo Performance carrier, this year.

    I'm also debating buying him this book, maybe just as a surprise gift.

    My hubby is getting a photo from our newborn shoot (yes from 10 mos ago), a wireless meat thermometer for grilling, and a road-id for cycling/running.

    I was going to hire someone to mow the lawn this week - but hubby has already done it. It's too late now but I was thinking paying for 3 'lawn' coupons would have been a good idea. So anytime during the summer if he just didn't want to mow he could call the company and use one of his coupons. Maybe next year!

    @jilian: Road id is awesome. I got one for my husband the other month, but he ordered a new one that has a number for emergency crews to call. When they call, it lists all his meds and the procedure he just had. Now, we just have to wait for him to be able to ride again. P.S. It was great meeting you in person. When I got there, I wanted to pause the meeting so I could ask if you were you.

    @artbee:I am OBSESSED with Chick-fil-a so I LOVE Your idea :)

    I got my hubby cufflinks that are a secret locket to put a pic of the baby in.  He wears suits and cuff links most days.  I am torn though on whether it is too cheesy - i will report back!

    @TheFutureMcBride: I've been meaning to buy him one now for a couple years. He always goes for 3-4 hr rides by himself on these backroads! i didn't buy the 'interactive' version because right now we don't have any medical history that didn't fit on the bracelet. I hope E is feeling better!

    It was so good to meet you too! As soon as you introduced your little one as 'wombat' it clicked and I was like "YAY!!!!! We finally get to meet!" :)
