What are you Daddy Christmas Gift ideas?!

[meresal]

There is a thread in Newlyweds about presents for new hubbies... but I was wondering what you all are getting your "New" or "Soon-to-Be" Daddy''s for the Holiday''s that is baby related?

*I posted my gift on the other thread, but I wanted to share it here as well, because I just can''t wait to see how excited DH will be when he opens the gift.*

On our wedding night, after the reception and before going out with our friends, DH changed into some Nike Jordans that matched his tux. They were Black and White. Well, for the last month he has been talking about how he can''t wait for our little guy to have his first pair of Jordan''s.

Well.... I found the exact replica of the ones DH wore our wedding night in a BABY version!!!

Here is a pic of both of them. I can''t wait to get a picutre of them wearing their shoes at the same time

I haven''t decided yet. I know I''m doing a D A D picture but his birthday is Jan. 8 so I don''t know if I want to do it for Christmas or his birthday.

Fiery, what do you mean by a DAD picutre? Is it something special or just a pic of him and Sophia?

Here's an example. I blurred out the baby's face since I took this from another board. It's mostly done for Father's Day but I want to do it now

Fiery, those are adorable!

OMG Fiery--that is too cute....I think I might steal that idea from you!


Mere: those shoes are so cute! He''s going to love it.

I know, I love it! It''s all the rave on bump around Father''s Day but there''s no way I''ll wait all.the.way.to.June to get it done heehee

I was going to get DH a bike trailer, but my mom already did. It would be a good idea for older babies.

For expecting couples, a Dad friendly diaper bag could be good. We have a diaper backpack that DH picked out and love it.

Other ideas would be Dad clothing for the baby. DH made comments about all the "I love my mommy" shirts we had, and how few daddy shirts. I didn''t realize it until he pointed it out! They are harder to find then mommy items though.

MustangGal - My BFF gave us a "I love my daddy" and a "I love my mommy" bib at our shower AND they''re bilingual (French/English)... These things are so cute!

Baby is due around Christmas (Dec. 30th), so I told DH that baby was his Christmas present. Plus we just bought a house! That''s pretty much our Christmas, birthdays and push presents combined...

meresal - those little shoes are sooooo adorable!

it''s too early for me to get a daddy present, I think, but I will definitely keep in mind the D A D photo for the future.

Thank you!

Our LO won''t be here until after Christmas, but since I feel like the whole pregnancy process is so "Mommy" centered, I like the idea of getting DH something personal to look forward to and be excited about, that is all his.
