How about a picture frame that says "I love my daddy," that you can put the US picture in?
Here are a few father quotes
- My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me. - Jim Valvano
- I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection. - Sigmund Freud
Good Luck!
You might be able to find a poem by googling something like poem for daddy.
There are books for new dads, if he's a reader. You might also find a poem in one of them. Perhaps a gift could be a small photo album in which he can put the ultra sound picture now and then add pictures to it once the baby gets here.
How about just writing on the photo "I'm glad you are in my life." Or do an entire photo Album with this as the title.
That's enough of a gift if your child is a baby. If your child is old enough to express him/herself then let your chid pick out something............anything within your price range. A shirt, a soap, a ball, a box of stationary, a box of candy, a favorite dvd.
I printed a copy of both my kids ultra sound photos and put them in x-mas tree ornaments. They were inexpensive & I love them. We just put them on the tree yesterday. It's amazing to think this time last year my daughter wasn't even born yet.
First off, congratulations that he wants to be part of his baby's life now.
The suggestions people already put down are good, like an ultrasound picture or poetry, maybe even a song quote if it's something he would relate to printed out and put in a picture frame for inspiration.
Good luck!
Why not put a picture of the child in a frame that says "My Daddy" or something similar? You can find them at places like the Christmas Tree Shop, Target, or sometimes bookstores like Barnes & Noble. You can also find a plain wooden frame at a craft store like A.C. Moore or Michael's, and have the child put fingerpaint or handprints on it - anything random is fine. That way the whole gift is from your child and not from you. Unless you are trying to get him back, in which case you want something more involved!!! If you find a verse you like, you can put it on the back of the frame - but if it is anything too involved, it will look entirely like it is from you and I don't know if that's the impression you want to give. Something he can display that says "Daddy" is enough from the child.
As your child gets older, he/she can decorate things for Father's Day and Christmas -- My husband has a charming piece of cardboard decorated with macaroni with a little picture of his child in the middle - definitely entirely child-made. And he has an orange juice can wrapped in plain paper that his child painted - he uses it as a pen holder. And so on.
That way the gifts are always from the child.
