Fathers Day Pedicure
 

Okay, times they are tough for pretty much everyone right now.

That being said, what to buy hubby, neighbor dude, Pops, grandpa?

Let's face it, if a guy wants something, he goes out and buys it. They don't drop hints like women do. They are very particular about things.

I didn't want to buy a tie or a tshirt again.

Then my hubby scraped his heel against my calf. Felt like sandpaper. Tried to talk him into getting a pedicure, he won't go for it.

Around here, it's like $20 and takes about 45 minutes. I think they are aweome, but don't get them done anymore. (Broke my foot about a year ago and refractured it about six months ago, so I don't do them anymore)

So, my friend and I hatched the plan that for Father's Day, we will take the menfolk down and have their pedicures done. Going to get the kids to give them the certificates, so they will actually use them. Will provide a ride and lunch afterwards. I mean, how could it be wrong? Heated massage chair, warm bubbly water, getting a foot massage, usually given by a petite asian woman, very relaxing.

The reason I am posting is because I want to know if anyone has an opinion about whether or not this is a good idea or not.

I have always noticed that there's an aweome demographic cross section of folks here, so that's why I'm asking.

THANKY!

i can go for a pedicure myself its not that bad looking, but I'm always wearing boots. and the corn on the side needs to be cute off..hhahahaha i know it's grouse.But some guys feels the insecurity about the female thing and its hard to give a good answer on that.

But to give you a better answer if my wife gave me a gift certificate for a day of pedicure and rub down, I'll do it becasue it's the thought that counts. Hope this helps........

That sounds like a great plan!! maybe even dinner afterwerds and a few beers( if you and your man are into that) :)

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

Yeppers - thanks. I'm figuring that the kids giving the certificate will make sure that's what happens.

I know that a few beers would be kewl, but we're probably going to BBQ at home so he can veg out with the PS3.

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

OH YA!! nothing beats BBQ'd meat :) sounds perfect

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

id go for a pedicure not that bad........ not sure with wearing shoes all day if my feet would smell too good but ok hahaha.... and meat and ps3 as the dessert to the pedicure..... now your talking :)

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

well first of all around here in cali (orange county to be exact) men get a pedicure all the time..and from what i have been told..its great..i mean i personally know its great cuz i get one everyother week..but i have been told by numerous of my male friends inluding the hubby and the brother that its super relaxing and a lot of fun...yeah at first they are hesitant because they think its a female thing but trustme he'll love u for it later ;) lol well sorry my post is so long..just wanted to give my prospective (or however u say it) lol :D

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

I think it's a great idea since it's something us men are not used to, but I'd team him up with like a best friend or brother to do it together, he won't feel as unconfortable if that's the case.

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

Sound like a good girly idea lol j/k but sounds like hes goin to have a nice relaxing fathers day!

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

Wow... thats pretty cool... sounds like a nice though that im sure he'd at least appreciate.... But not to go against the grain of everyone else...personally I couldnt and wouldnt do it.... not because its a girly thing, but because my feet are extremely sensitive and very tickleish so i dont like people messing w/ them to much... Id prefer, to take care of my own as best I can... i.e lotion, nail clipping etc.... but if thats not the case he may like it, since it u and "the kids" getting it for him... personally if its me... Id prefer a massage... either way, sounds like a real nice fathers day.... nothing better than to be able to relax nad chill w/ those you love, while being pampered as the king of the house...lol!

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

I know for myself I wouldnt want one but I wouldnt be totally opposed to it if my wife bought one for me... I know my father in law gets them everyone once in awhile and he likes it

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

Y'all are just too awesome. Thanks for all the feedback. We've got it set up that he goes with our neighbor, he's never had one before either, so it'll be good for them.

Figure while they are gone, we'll stock up on the beer and rearrange the living room for big kids only, and then let them veg the day away playing video games. Move the recliners around and make sure the TV has an unobstructed view.

Thanks again to all of y'all!

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
 

Well, I dunno, you're cute and all, but my hubby says no one can support my gun habit. How would you feel about a woman that like guns? We can talk about it before you and Tweety get hitched I guess......... LOL

Re: Fathers Day Pedicure
