Ooooh Lissa where did you get the digital keychain? That is a great gift. I think my dh would love it for Father's Day and so would my mother for Mother's Day. What a neat idea. Is it $$$$$?

I'm breaking the rule...only because I got my wife a 'Red Thread' t-shirt from chinasprout I know that she hasn't gotten me anything yet, but that is ok.

I actually got us a matching set of the "Red Thread" shirts, next up is the "MaMa", I just hope that they have a size that will fit her. Some of their sizes are smaller.

Sorry for being an anarchist, but I do more with the whole adoption process than she does (she does more of everything else), so I guess that I am more of the woman here...that has to count for something I would guess, and I want to see the things that everyone is getting so I can get some too!

Lissa,

Where can you purchase the keychain? That is a great idea.

OK, this is SO not China related, but we have 2 biological kids as well as our daughter.

I'm getting him a couple of lessons from a local golf pro and a golf playstation game. I figure with the lessons he can have some much needed time to himself and with the game he can have some really fun times with the kids.

I have already overwhelmed my DH with adoption items from hats, shirts and bibs, so this year im taking him on a Sopranos tour. We will start out in Manhattan, then they take you on a bus trip that follows the route from the opening of the show. Then they take you to 40 different spots that the show has been filmed, including the Bada Bing, Stratriales and other locations. He is a big Sopranos fan, so this is right up his alley. The only thing is, the kids arent coming! They have never heard of the show and its not kid appropriate. We are going the weekend before Fathers day, just the two of us. On Fathers day, the kids will have the choice of what to do.

I got the keychain from Brookstone Gifts. It cost around $50 before shipping. I too am struggling to get pictures uploaded on it...I may give up and just give it to him as is...too difficult for my non-technical brain.

The shirt I got through China Sprout.
