I want to get Jacob and DH matching outfits, maybe something Star Wars or Harry Potter related. I'm also buying DH a scalp massage (he's bald) which he's been talking about for forever. I have to check out to see if there is a baseball game on or around Father's Day. I'd love for us to go to a game.
I'm getting H a "Dad" mug and that's about it. If he wants to go out or wants me to cook it's his choice since it's his day. He didn't do much for Mother's Day (the mug is a lot more forethought than he gave Mother's Day) so I'm happy with my plan.
We'll probably go to his favorite breakfast spot...beyond that I don't know. We didn't make a big deal of Mother's Day so we won't make a big deal of Father's Day either. I'm sure he'll have a bunch of homework to do anyways.
Same around here...not too much. Gotta think of a nice gift to get him though, as he got me an aromatherapy diffuser for my office that I love to bits.
I bought DH a Yeti cup and ordered a decal for it from Etsy. The decal is the state of Texas with the Gonzales flag cut out in the middle of it. I couldn't decide between the state or the flag, so I found a decal that had both. Problem solved.
He has been wanting to go to Top Golf for brunch and bloody Mary's, so we may do that as well.
ETA: I feel like I'm probably referencing multiple foreign things for people not from the south and/or Texas... Yeti cup, Gonzales flag, Top Golf. I certainly didn't know about these things until we moved here. lol
H requested breakfast burritos so that's easy. I was trying to find matching Social D t-shirts for him & DS but the one with the dancing skeleton on it is different than the adult one. I do have some shutterfly gift cards so I may just do a photo book, if I find the time.

I just googled Top Golf, looks so fun! A bowling alley/golf range hybrid - genius! I can't wait to move to the big T!

Asher got him a new putter disk for frisbee golf. He was going to play yesterday so Asher gave it to him early. He'll get a card from both of us and a running DVD from me. It's just a couple days after his birthday, so we'll keep it low key. Maybe brunch or something.

Well given we didn't do anything special for Mother's Day, I'm not planning anything big for Father's Day. He's getting a card and a nice dinner (probably steak I'll grill here). Maybe I'll make dessert.

We'll be at sesame place with my family, lolol. But the weekend before, we will go to a farm that he's been wanting to go to. And I'll get him a knock off yetti cup from target. I did the DAD letters two years ago, and I might do them again this year. I didn't last year, bc my pregnant ass had no interest in that.

Your ETA was perfect because as I was reading I was all zero clues about what those things are. I'm picturing the Abominable Snow Monster of the North Pole (from Rudolph) on a red solo cup to be precise.
Keeping things cold in Texas is central to our way of life. Yeti coolers are like the BMW of the cooler world.
Also, it's pretty much required that all yeti items be personalized... coolers, cups, whatever. For example, paying good money for something like this is 100% normal down here:

Its SO much fun! We'll have to have a Top Golf GTG once you're here! The food is surprisingly good there too.

I'm making a mug for my dad and MH that says "YODA BEST PAPA" or "YODA BEST DAD" in the Star Wars font with a little Yoda cut out beside it. I just got it all designed so now I just have to assemble it.
I'll probably also get a couple board books for each of them from Layla, and then MH has requested my homemade mac and cheese for dinner, so we'll do that!
I'm getting coordinating Star Wars shirts for H and Z. Just need to pick them and order.
We just bought a new grill and H and I discussed that will be his big gift.
I haven't asked him what he wants to do that day. I'm thinking we'll go to see his family if they are home (BIL and fam normally go on a cape cod vacation at the end of June so not sure they will be around).

I bought him patterned handkerchiefs from easy (he's asked for them). I'm also going to get a mixed case of fancy beer with notes on each of them from J (ie "I love you because...").

I'm now thinking that DH will not be getting a present. He may or may not have jumped into a pool while drunk on Saturday and his phone was in his pocket ? So had to get a new phone. Damn those iPhones are expensive now! You used to be able to get one for like $100 with a trade in and new contract but now they don't do contracts!
Adding to my above, tonight my husband pulled out his guitar that he never plays, and the baby was enthralled, so I'm gonna find a children's songs tab book and give to him for F's day.
Probably the same thing he bought me ... A card , dinner where he wants and I'll give him the debit card and tell him to go buy himself something nice . I feel super weird buying him something when I don't work ..
H let me sleep in for MD and served crepes in bed. The day before, he let me have some time to run errands (oh boy) by myself, which to him is the equivalent of going out for drinks with the boys. It was nice, the "sleeping in" (and hearing the A shouting gleefully in the kitchen). H went all out for my birthday, so just having a more "leisurely" than normal morning was nice.
For his day, I've had this sitting in my office desk for months:
I'll so some cutesy note from A, something about being daddy's little helper. She was "helping" him assemble another baby gate yesterday. She's very interested in the drill.
Sunday while running errands, I came across two big pieces of art clearancing at Home Goods (what? it's next to one of my stops, so of course I needed to peek in). One is a gorgeous painting of a clipper ship, the other is a huge impressionistic painting for some dinghies anchored in a little inlet. We need art for the house and the only "theme" we have scattered around the house seems to be sailing related, so there we go.
If he wants to do drinks with the boys that weekend, he can do that, too. Whatever.
