[quote=Anonymous]I am sure that everyone loves a sentimental card from their children, but that's a little hard to come up with on the spur of the moment.  If this is something that's important to you, then you need to put sentimental card writing into your family routine.  Where every Sunday evening you all spend 1/2 hour writing a little note to a family member or something.  Then when it's time to write one for Dad, they know what to do, and it isn't so intimidating.

If it isn't something that is important to you, and you aren't willing to invest the time in that, then think of the things that you ARE already investing the time in, and what you/your husband really do with your children.  You said that he takes them places.  Maybe they could get him tickets to something.  They could do chores around the house to pay for a portion of the tickets or pay for his food at the event.  Does he play video games with them?  They could get him a new game they think is cool.  Does he play sports with them?  Maybe getting him a new baseball glove or the like.  Does he watch TV with them?  Maybe a book about one of their favorite shows.

There are lots of ways to be sentimental.
