need a coming home present from my daughter/me to her dad

[bednobs]

hello, my daiughter has been in special care since she was born 5 weeks ago. She will hopefully be coming home in the next 3-4 weeks. i would love to buy my husband a present to celebrate this utterly momentous (for us) occasion. any ideas?

A lovely photo of you both for his office/wallet.

[bednobs]

hmm, a nice idea, but because she's had tubes and wires etc, i'd rather wait for a special photo till she's home and wire free

Make a mould of her footprint take it to a local jeweller and have them make a silver keyring.

[ummmm]

Eccles, that's a nice idea.

How is she bednobs?

[rockyracoon]

How is she by the way bednobs, it's hard to ask on here sometimes. Blimey Eccles, that's a fantastic idea.

Thanks Umm & Rocky.

I thought I'd give this a little nudge to get some more ideas for bednobs.

oooh Bednobs. I miss all the news xxxx Congratulations to you and your husband. After all the pain, heartbreak.

I like Eccles idea, a little footprint plus a little handprint.

[EcclesCake]

You could have the blank side engraved with a message, her name and DOB.

Another nudge for more ideas.....

You can also get similar made with fingerprints, which could be worn on a chain or keyring - and congratulations on your newborn :)

[bednobs]

thanks for ideas. the footprint/mould is a nice idea too. Unfortunately it has rather negative connatations for us as it's all we have of our first daughter and son

How about a hand instead? =)

A glass lightcatcher to hang in the window with her name and date of birth on it it

Most stained glass workers ot glass painters could put together something for you

I wish I could think of something nice Bednobs. However, I think having his baby girl home will be the best present in the world and something money could never buy.

If you wanted something small you could get matching teddies, hers saying "Daddy's girl" and his saying "Girlie's Dad". x

Bednobs, I think I have missed something wonderful in your life, but I could understand why you have kept it quiet all these weeks.... so many congratulations to you and Mr B, and to your little one. I think it'd be correct to say that everyone on AB will be offering huge big hugs to you all xxx

[ummmm]

Boxy.. :-)

Her coming home is the best present he could have.

How about a professional photo shoot of you both with Phoebe?

[ummmm]

What about an engraved cigar box and posh cigar? He could light it on her 21st, or wedding day...

(do cigars last that long?)
