Present for partner
Show your support
Honestly don't hate me, but I trully do think the only gift he needs is you carrying his baby for 9/10months and enduring all that comes with it and then birthing the baby. You deserve a present not him.
I’ve gotten my husband gifts “from the baby” throughout the pregnancy as we’ve had many milestones the past 8 months (Ironmans/marathons/birthdays etc) so my plan is to write him a letter for him to open after.
@Gabi I think that’s a horrible mindset to be honest. I think it’s important to show much Ive appreciated his support the past 9 months, I’ve loved every minute of this pregnancy and I know 99% of that is down to how he has looked after me. Without him I can guarantee the past 9 months would have felt completely different and I’ll be eternally grateful for how much of a wonderful person he is. I know he’ll get me a present once baby is here, and I equally think he deserves a little something in return. Seeing some of the posts on here about people’s partners has made me realise how truly lucky I am. I picked a good one, and I want to show him I’m thankful for that.
@Lala engraved whiskey bottle is a great idea! I was thinking of engraving of some sort but wasn’t quite sure on what. Great suggestions! X
@Jessica that’s such a lovely idea! I love gifting on behalf of the baby I find it so sweet 🥹
Horrible mindset? To realize we as women absolutely acing it and no man can ever repay us, none of our partners can ever do the same or remotely similar favour to us? It is sad if this above is a horrible mindset to you. All I said was that YOU should be celebrated and appreciated and not after the whole pregnancy occupping your mind about what gift to get your man. This is time to focus on you and your baby. That's it. But please, do you. Clearly my message was completely not understood.
Your message was understood loud and clear, I just heavily disagree with you, but that’s ok!
🙄 the whole "women are amazing, men don't deserve anything" ... I wouldn't call it a horrible mindset, but it's a very childish mindset to have. I didn't buy my husband a physical gift, but I was overly vocal in thanking him, especially in front of others! Big him up in front of family and friends for the little things, it might not seem a lot but can be appreciated so much more than something material x
@Natalie 100% agreed! I’ll definitely do that for sure, he loves words of affirmation bless him so that always goes a long way. But he also loves a trinket, he has so many keepsakes that he treasures hence wanting a physical present too! It’s great you show your partner how much you appreciate him too xxx
This is so sweet! Here are a few ideas depending on what he likes and what your budget is: - cuff links with baby’s name or DOB - personalised tie clip - engraved photo frame with pic of ultrasound and pic of baby - whisky/champagne bottle with engraved box - “dad kit” with cheesy socks and white trainers, khaki shorts and polo - apron with “Dad est 2024” Notonthehighstreet.com might have some good ideas too.
