NEW DAD Basket idea



If any of you follow my blog THIS IS THE DAY..you know we were just blessed with TWIN Grandsons...

New mom's get so much attention that the poor DAD most of the time is just there..of course in the case of TWINS that really isn't so..but I wanted to do something SPECIAL for my son on this very exciting event.

He and his wife are/were? Surfers..and when I found the little Hot Wheels with the Woody and surf boards... PERFECT!



I was on a search for a t-shirt or hat )happily Father's Day coming up made this very eas...I found a nice Vintage looking Tee that said WORLD's GREATEST DAD...in a "base ball" type font. I rolled the Tee and placed in the basket...with "DAD" sure to be noticed!

My son loves Malted Milk Balls...so added a box along with some other "muchies"...and another cute little Hot Wheel's car... I laughed afterwards not realizing it was named.."passer-gasser"...so appropriate for newborns!

The basket was a nice brown immitation raffia/wrap...one that will be well used by my daughter in law (she is very organized and loves baskets!) ..so really a gift for her too...and I also put in some chocolate covered pretzels as HER treat.

My son and his wife took the bow and two cute GIANT plastic DIAPER PINS from the basket and placed them on the front door of their home upon arrival with THE BOYS!

See THIS IS THE DAY (side bar link)...for more on the TWINS~




I hope this "IDEA" inspires you for a soon to be new DAD you know!

Blessings..

So very precious, congratulations, and your dad idea is really good, dad does seem to get pushed in the background when the new baby arrives, that is nice, thanks for that idea, Hugs, Barbara
