    Because nothing says precious memories of a future life together and a first Father’s Day like $13.82 as your SOLE criteria for this gift.
    If you treat Etsy like the Price is Right, I will send you Turtle Wax.

    You know, I’ve heard rumors about this “Paypal” thing… as in, you can sorta add funds to it, to, you know, not appear so fucking cheap.

    Just sayin’…

    What I want to know is why it matters if she likes jewelry or ink pens. Isn’t this present for him? Nothing says “Happy First Father’s Day” more than “I’ll get you just about anything as long as it’s cheap”.

    For $13.82 you can get 3pounds of Ranchers Reserve Beef Chuck Cross Rib Steak Boneless Thin Delivered to your house. You provide the BJ and youll have a successful Steak & BJ day, just watch that gag reflex. I remember being pregnant, it’s not romantic to take a barf break.

    WAAAA-freakin’-LAAAAAA.
    forget about the cheapness sister. work on your creativity. if you can’t figure out fun, special shit to do on a severe budget, your kid will break you.
    oh. happy impending father’s day. that’ll be $13.82. have your paypal call my paypal.

    [grandpa simpson]Back in my day, $13.82 could get you a lot of love. But it wasn’t modern love, because we could only by onions at the time, because fruit hadn’t been invented yet, and onions where at the time, the most common item for dowries. But then Hitler came and took all of the onions and that is why we celebrate Father’s day.[/Grandpa simpson]

    Sheeeesh … I’m lost in admiration for all the gifts suggested which meet the exact budget limitations. Then I got lost in locating one myself.

    Now here’s a little gem any father expecting his house to be turned upside down in a few months by a new arrival, will definitely appreciate. He will need the weight of history to sustain him.

    “My husband and I are expecting our first child TOGETHER in December.”

    So what you’re saying is, the other dad(s) took the bloom off the rose of this whole fatherhood thing, and since you can’t count on men (or they can’t count on you) to stick around, spare change is all you’re willing to spare this June.

    Sweet.

    I actually posted something similar for father’s day about two years ago. I didn’t know what to get him but I had a budget. I ended up getting two perfect bids and the items I got for him are awesome.
    Of course if I wanted to close out paypal I’d just transfer the funds to my bank account. :\

    Nothing edible because she cooks and she doesn’t like ink pens? Maybe if she had given an idea about what he liked it would have been a little easier since it is a FATHER’S day and all, but hey, selfishness is in this season. I say she gives him $7 and keeps the rest for herself. She will just have to be extra careful he doesn’t buy anything she doesn’t like. Ah, true love.

    Maybe she needs to look for something that doesn’t involve cooking. That may help her case. And I didn’t think a Father’s Day present had anything to do with what SHE liked. I thought Father’s Day presents were for the fathers?
