Oh man, those are great
I think the apron one is a gag gift, though-- it's just gotta be

The other stuff, I think, is only for couples in which the wife doesn't know the husband very well, and who may or may not be headed for divorce very shortly.

Yikes on the apron!

I still remember what you said last year about the embarrassing "#1 Dad" type shirts, and now I'll too abashed to bring out the one I got for my husband last year!

Those are hilarious. 1.) My husband would never carry that baby blue colored wallet thing. 2.) magnet - maybe but still seems kinda er er if you know what I mean 3.) that has got to be a joke. That would be a great prank gift! LOLOLOL

too funny!

We gave that Daddy’s Doodie apron to a friend as a gag gift at their baby shower. He wasn’t expecting a gift, and was really touched…until he opened it up and saw what it was. It was hilarious, seeing him try it on, and ham it up. It was more funny, seeing his wife laughing at him.

Haha I actually know a dad that wears one of those masks, and has tried gloves… if I had money to waste I would probably get him the apron just to make a point of how silly he looks to everyone else. I definitely don’t understand the nipple part though.

That apron is just awful and horrid. What exactly are they trying to imply with the bottle nipples attached to it?!

And I forgot to say I don’t know a single dad who actually carries prints of their kids. Lots who have them on their cell phone, though!

OK, these are all ridiculous! I can’t think of a single dad I would ever foist these upon, unless I was giving the apron as a gag gift at a new parents’ shower…
