Father’s Day will be here before I know it so I want to get a head start for my husband’s first one. Esp with shipping taking forever these days.
What are the best gifts you’ve given to your dad or husband...or seen given to him over the years?

Is your dh sentimental?
You could have a pocket knife or back of a watch engraved.
A tee shirt with (fabric paint) footprints from your baby.
Is he into having his car detailed?
Does he have a hobby he'd like a gift certificate for?
A cologne that he wants?
Get a family portrait taken? (Or set a self timer)
A special meal he'd like?

My husband lives dad shirts.
His favorite?
Don’t touch my tools or my daughter.

Cook steak and find something that says Dad on it! Look on Etsy for ideas—they are great for things like this. Search “first Father’s Day gifts” and tons of ideas will pop up. There are some nice personalized frames, a poem similar to Jengie’s that you add the prints to, and some cute onesie/tee sets that are adorable.

First Father’s Day needs a daddy shirt or ball cap if he doesn’t already have one.
Find a little poem and do baby’s handprint or footprint. If you google you can find some good ideas. Here’s one
"Walk a little slower, Daddy!" said a little child so small. "I'm following in your footsteps and i don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see; So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, you're what i want to be. Then i will have a little child who'll want to follow me.
And i would want to lead just right, and know that i was true; So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for i must follow you!!"

DH has his birthday right before father's day. One year we adopted 3 kittens. The gift that keeps on giving!

I like jenjie's baseball cap idea or a coffee mug with a picture of all of you or of him holding the baby? I gave a pocketwatch with engraving and picture when it opened up for our first, and with our second daughter, a wallet with pictures.
