Homemade Christmas presents for Husband

Your other option is to just wrap a single item for you and DH. I personally think a 7 year old would wonder why Mommy got nursing pads and baby diapers as a "gift" from Santa. This seems creepy. I would stick to one present for Mommy and Daddy and leave the rest for the kids verses wrapping baby needs (wipes, diapers, etc) for parents. If you are insistent on these items are presents then split them up between Mommy & Daddy. Why does Mommy get diapers and Dad gets something really for him?

I ordered some photo books online, discount codes etc can be found to make it a bit cheaper. Some of them can be free - only shipping to pay. If you can get more than one, how about making one for you and one for him, then you both get something nice and timeless.

As for the coupons, I'd make one for a favourite meal, a day he can watch whatever he wants on the TV etc. I think the date night idea is pretty good. Can you get someone to watch the kids one night (once the youngest ones are a little older obv) and then have a date night? If so include a coupon for this.

What about a simple poem or letter typed nicely and printed on nice paper?

Good luck!

One year for Father's Day, I had all the kids do their Handprints on a big jar and I did too. I wrote everyone's names with a sharpie.

Then everyone wrote on ten slips of paper. Each paper had to tell why we loved Daddy, what was special about Daddy, what we liked to do with Daddy. It was his feel good jar. He could pull out a paper whenever he needed a pick me up.

To this day, he has that jar in his closet and throws his loose change in it. Many gifts have come and gone, but that one holds a very special place in his heart.

I think you could do this easily with your girls.
