Nah, just because one person thought you were being a b*tch doesn't mean others won't understand where you are coming from.
I would look for a cute family oriented DVD and put a note "from the kids" - "Daddy, we got this for you so we could watch it together!"0 -
How much do you usually spend? How about taking the kids to pick something out? The best gifts were the ones that were handmade by our son and didn't come from the store. Anything the kids pick out or make is sweet!
Then it really is from them instead of something from you, which it sounds like you want to avoid. 0 -

Great idea, something handmade from the kids. Give them some constuction paper and crayons, and have them make a card for their dad.0 -
Tell him he doesn't have to pay child support for the month. 0

Well, for his birthday, "we" ended up buying him a Dolce & Gabanna watch (he loves watches). It pretty much cost more than a mortgage payment, but I knew he'd love it & the kids thought it was great. We gave it to him and he said "he loved it" which i'm sure he did, what's not to love? It's a beautiful watch & it LOOKED expensive (which is something he'd appreciate). Anyways, come father's day (shortly after) his MOTHER bought him a cheap replica watch (off the internet) and he decided (like he always did) that "what comes from his mother is better" and totally scrapped the watch from his kids and wore the cheap replica his mother bought.
That's all fine.....BUT, I've decided to go cheaper ever since, just so it's not such a big loss if he tosses it to the side.
I'd say in the 50-100$ range.0 -
I agree, handmade from the kids. Buy a Good Housekeeping magazine, this time of year there are always multiple craft projects that kids can complete.0
-
Get your kids to scribble a bunch of randomness on a piece of paper, throw some sparkles on that b!tch. Bam - Merry Christmas!!0

I'll definitely do a craft from the kids. I think that's a great idea.
I just worry that he will be "pissed off" because he's VERY spoiled & will not be satisfied with something "cheap".
Any time the kids make something when they are with him, or from school, he sends it home to me.
He really has very little to do with our kids, so he doesn't quite get the importance of homemade things, or things the kids do.
This is the guy who when his son said "I love you daddy" replied with "That's nice, get in the car" (after not seeing him for 2 weeks).
Not exactly a sentimental schmuck anymore when it comes to them. Pretty much divorced them when I divorced him.
BUT the craft thing would at least be fun for them to do.0 -

my mom's Ex is my sisters daddy.
i buy him and his new lady a sausage and cheese gift set every year because he loves the stuff.
and i feel bad when i mail my sisters gift and im like i dont wanna be rude.
and the new wife is even nice enough to buy mom something from my sister even though they hate each others guts.
my mom on the other hand,not so nice... yeah. im just more civil i guess.0 -
Post a Craigslist ad for him and make sure his phone number is on the ad. Preferably in the casual encounters section.0

food is always good. I bought him steaks for father's day.
Can't exactly get him anything to do with "being a great dad" or "#1 Dad" which is pretty sad and unfortunate....but meat suited him fine.0 -

Yes! lol0 -

He chose the cheap knock off? Ugh. I don't blame you for sticking with a lower price range. How old are your kids? Are they old enough to pick out the gift for their dad themselves? That's always cute.0 -
I was going to do their hands in plaster or some crap like that. Or perhaps have them make him ornaments.
Last year I got him a keychain shaped like that Christmas story lamp..0 -
My daughter is getting pictures taken next weekend...he will get copies of those as a gift. MAYBE in a frame if he is lucky.0

LOL
when I moved him out of my house, I put his belongings into a box. I threw in my half full tube of lube, his MANY condoms & told him to tell his girlfriend "your welcome" (he didn't know I knew about his "secret gf") hahahaha. I didn't give a rats *kitten*, but apparently it was supposed to be "on the down low"? not sure why?0 -
A stack of singles0

well this one requires a little more effort on your part...take pictures of the kids artwork etc, and the kids, and print a book for him. actually, print a few copies and make one for each grandparent's home as well. I've been meaning to do this forever...have the artwork pictures, just haven;t gotten it done.0

My kids just turned 4. They are pretty clueless when it comes to gifting. I asked them what they wanted to get daddy and they said "hearts" & then when I probed further....."okay, a thomas the tank engine and an airplane". I'm like uhhh that's what YOU want lol0 -
Generic meat and cheese platter, or a gift card to Crapplebees.0

Plenty of them at Target. Or get him a Target one.0 -
