Ashley usually makes Rod something. We've done creative photos, stories, picture books. Any other ideas for a daughter's present to her Dad?

Here are some of the things we've done. . . .personalized ties from Personal Creations with O's pictures on them, a personalized ornament with a special pic of them, scrap a calendar together with his favorite pictures and special dates on it, photo mugs, mouse pad collages, T shirts made with a photo transfer of a fav picture.

How about a handmade decorated picture frame?

Do you have a link for the personalized ties, I think this would be super for Father's Day.

Maybe she could make him a keychain?

I personally like all these ideas, but he's still a hard one to do something like this for.

He doesn't like anything on his keychain as he doesn't want it to "scratch" his car -- he is very particular about his car (and all his electronics too)

We've done the personalized mouse pad, calendar, photo book, t-shirt, photo collage in a frame, etc.

Most of our meetings are via conference calls these days, so he seldom wears a tie anymore. Although I still really like this idea.

Here you go! Stephen has several of these (he wears ties every day) and gets lots of compliments on them.

See, this is our problem too. It is just too hard to do personalized gifts for Ryan. rolleyes.gif
