Hi all,

I am looking for some ideas to get my partner for Fathers Day. - More like a father to be present from the baby! Thinking of a book maybe about being a father???

Any ideas would be great!

I just finished reading "Man With a Pram" by Tim Bryant. He's a Canberra dad who wrote a book about the year he spent at home with his first-born (girl). Very funny, and it might give your other half some idea of how much his life is about to change.

Anna,
I am in the same situation. I went to socrates in civic and brought a wonderful book (forget it's name and the present is wrapped so i cant check) which is a book of photographs of fathers and their children of around the world. Throughout the book are quotes, and it really is a beautiful book. Under $20 I think.

What about a nice photo frame? That way he can have a picture of the new arrival with him at work.

Last year I bought a children's book called "My Dad" for DH to read to the baby.
