fathers day gift ideas

[painted_pony]

Well with mothers day just around the corner, I figure that I should get an idea on what to do for a fathers day gift. I'm thinking about getting my husband an engraved ring. His wedding band has seen better days since he's a mechanic, its been pretty beat up. There's a lot of options on what to engrave on a ring..plus some rings can have both sides engraved.

Do you think a guy would prefer a band with engraving on just the inside or both inside/outside?

Any ideas on writing? I was thinking about my name, our sons name and my husbands name. Or, just our sons name and birthdate.

What a thoughtful gift!! At first I was going to say just to engrave your LO's name since it is a father's day gift, but if it is to replace his wedding band I'd say go for all three of your names. My OH just told me men would prefer the writing on the inside- especially since he is a mechanic. That way no matter what, the engraving won't be scratched off. Research Titanium bands. They withstand alllll sorts of manly job torture. Good luck ^_^

Just a suggestion in case you go the titanium route.

Thank you! I figured a guy would rather have the writing on the inside, but it truly does help to hear a man's thoughts about the engraving. If our names weren't so long I could write more on the ring than our names, but I can't change that part.

I actually figured out that you can get custom engraved military issue dog tags. My husband is army...maybe that's a better idea than a ring??

That'd be great! You can always do a ring thing on an anniversary or something. :3
