@risadunn That's a fabulous idea!

I'm getting a set of tools for him and letting my son paint them ☺️

When my sons were little I gave things with the word "dad" on them that were things he used anyway. You can personalize anything. A great first time dad present is a shirt, mug, pocket knife or something small he likes with "Dad est. May 15, 2016" (birth of first kid).

I've also done a foot and hand print little book with all the things daddy does with them. This was the cheapest but took the most time.

Now I take them, 4 and almost 2, to pick out gifts themselves. It pretty fun to see what they get him. For Christmas the 4 year old got him a shirt then a bag of lollipops. He told me "Daddy needs these so he can share with me" little stinker.

I do get him something from me that more of a true gift. This year I got him a new Bible case because he doesn't use one and his Bible and notebook keep getting scattered.

I'll be giving birth before then, I'm hoping to make him a nice dinner, but we will see how that turns out lol.

A gift card to a shop where he buys his fishing and hunting gear? My hubby doesn't really care for stuff, so I won't be buying him anything. I may do a craft or homemade gift with the kids, but I haven't figured out what that will be, yet.
