Father's Day
2 years ago  ::  Jun 10, 2011 - 5:34PM #1

Hey everyone. I need fathers day ideas. I am buying my DH a pair of shoes he wants but I want to make him something from Maddison and I am not sure what to do yet. Any crafty ideas?

There are lots of photo gift ideas, that you could have Madison's picture on, such as a mug, t-shirt etc.  Or you could make a t-shirt with her hand and feet prints on.  Use fabric paint and put her hands and/or feet into paint then press onto a solid colored t-shirt.  You could also write a message like World's Greatest Dad, etc.

Those are all great ideas! Being a stay-at-home mom I don't have a lot of extra money to spend on Father's Day and was feeling really guilty, but these ideas are all really inexpensive!

I already do shutterfly. I just got a free book that I made of when she was born up until last month. It is a wonderful company to do stuff with photos. My sister in law gave me an idea that I am going to do. I am doing a shadow box and I am putting in a poem I wrote and a pic of daddy and baby and I am going to put in the hospital bracelet that he wore when she was born and a few other things. Can't wait til he gets paid so I can go get the stuff to do it with!! lol

I took  these four pictures plus more of Ella and am sending them to her father. Of course he doesn't live with us or anything and am not sure what I would do for him if I did. I think your shadow box idea is a sweet and thoughtful one.

I love the photo idea! I myself am doing a photo gift as well.  I have a sailor's outfit that my husband wore when he was 10 mos. old (amazing that his mother kept it for him) and she gave it to us for our son.  We took pics of our baby in it last week.  So I'm buying an 8x10 picture frame and putting the pics in it side by side.  And, I'm going to use craft paint to write on the frame "Like Father, Like Son".  My husband is going to be so surprised! He thinks we are doing  a photo gift with his and ours son's photos in it for his father-whic we are-boy will he be surprised! Do you have any pics of your husband as a baby?  You could do the same! Just remember, it's not about how much money is spent, the best gifts are definitly the ones from the heart! :)
