12.  Tie Em Up

Thank you Martha Stewart for wrapping it up very nicely.  This is an adorable way to tie up your gifts.  This would kick up any gift a notch.  My twist is hiding a little love note and a few steamy notes beneath or under the bows. Imagine the surprise he will get before he's even opened his package.  Your notes will start his unwrapping off with a bang!

11. Love Basket

We Heart Daddies

11. Love Basket

This heartfelt idea comes from Somewhat Simple.  Your hubby will be flattered by this gift.  So it's time to get your brag on!  My twist to this is adding in a few naughty notes for your husband to discover.  Not only will he feel proud of all his accomplishments as a Father but he will feel like a stud too!!!

10. Yummy Notes

Alright ladies you have one more day to finish up your last minute gift preparation.  Today I'm sharing 3 quick and easy ideas that will make you look like a champ!


We Heart Daddies

10.  yummy notes

Hello Martha Stewart!!!  Would she cringe at all my sexy twists to her very wholesome daddy gifts??? lol  So my twist would be creating fun retro clip art that has a sexy hint to it.  For instance, the Tabasco Sauce, "You Make me BURN with Yearning."  A box of hot tomales, "I'm hot for you."  Cinnabun rolls, "mmmm, I love your hot buns!"  Get a little creative and you excite your mans tummy and other regions as well!!!

09. Emergency Travel Kit

We Heart Daddies

09.  emergency travel kit

Another Martha Stewart idea that was too good to pass up.   If traveling is your thing than this is going to be an adventurous gift for your hubby.  Take a peek at Martha's cute ideas on how to decorate your box.  My twist to this is adding a few sexy emergency essentials such as a wet wipes, condoms, lube, mints, mini vibrator, lip balm, etc.  This will get his blood pumping thinking of all the possible excursions the two of you are going to embark on!  Happy Trails to You!!!

08. iDad

This is the cutest idea for a card ever.   This card tutorial comes from Charlottes Fancy.  Isn't such a fantastic idea???  If your man is a little bit of a phone snob and nerd than this is your dream tutorial.     My twist would be writing sensual notes under each icon.  Maybe even changing a few note slots into surprises to be given throughout the day.  The surprises could be mini cards that are sexy coupons.  You get where I'm going...

07. Wash Me Gift Set

We Heart Daddies

07.   Wash Me Gift Set

Another Martha Stewart idea.  There aer a few more Martha ideas to come.  Maybe I should advertise solely for her! lol.  This idea is just way too cute to pass up.  You're guy might have everything he needs and you might be dying over trying to find an original gift.  If that is you, than this will be perfect.  My twist to this is adding a few bath supplies, a coupons for dirty little things (sexual favors), and some real cleaning products into your tin bucket.  Think of the surprise he will get each time he pulls something out that reminds him that you are a dirty girl and need him to wash you all up!!!

13. Pamper Him

Rushed Romance

13. Pamper Him

Father's Day is right around the corner so do something a little special to celebrate the occasion. Pamper him with love, kisses, and sweet caresses. Pick up a bottle of massage oil, a yummy smelling sugar scrub, and get those hands limbered up for whatever your hubbies heart desires.  Create a romantic ambiance by setting out some candles, warm the room up to a comfortable temperature, and assemble a few pillows to make sure he is comfortable. PS...I sure hope your hubby pampered you for Father's Day cause it's his turn to get delicious paybacks!!!

06. Service Coupons

We Heart Daddies

06.  Service Coupons


Yes, this idea comes from Martha Stewart!  I can't get enough of Martha she has soo many cute ideas!!!   She has templates made up for you to print with some cute coupon ideas to boot! I realize this idea is not very original or unique.  If you take this idea and make the coupons yourself than you're off to a great start that will end up very unique and totally you!  If you add my little twist, this is going to be a one of a kind book.  Martha has one coupon that is blank, I suggest saving that as a picture.  Now follow these simple step by step instructions:

1...Open up word and paste the picture of the blank coupon to your document. 
2...Duplicate the page before you start editing.  Make how ever many pages your heart desires. 
4...Now it's time to start editing to create your masterpiece.  Add your own pictures of your family and think of things your husband would love help with from you and the kids. 
5...Of course this wouldn't be a Tickled in Love twist unless you added in some sexy coupons too.  Find adorable pictures of yourself or of the two of you to paste onto the coupons.  These intimate coupons can be for a private lunch-time nookie, anyway he wants it, a sick day to be pampered any way he likes, or a massage with a happy ending. 
6...Before putting your book together, assemble your book by cutting the coupons up to create your book. Have each child write their name on the bottom of the coupon that they will fulfill.  This will make sneaking your own coupons into the book without your kids peaking at them possible.   Mix the coupons up so that he will discover one from a kid then one from you and so on.  Make a cover like Martha suggests or make your own.  Place the cover coupon on top and tie with a cute ribbon.

***If you have any questions about copying and editing, write a comment after this post, either I can help or another lovely follower can give you tips too.

05. Scandalous Photo Bookmarks

We Heart Daddies

05. Scandalous Photo Bookmarks

If your man loves to read, this is the gift for you!!!  This idea comes from Martha Stewart.  She has an easy step by step tutorial for you to follow to make them easily at home.  I love that they are shaped like bow ties and her wrapping style is pretty cute too!!!  My Tickled in Love twist would be hiding bookmarks in a few of his favorite books and placing them in your favorite hiding spots.  Save a few bookmarks to randomly hide every few months, just to keep him on the lookout.  Of course I'm going to tell you to make a fair share of scandalous bookmarks with sexy pictures on them.  But of course you can occasionally add a cute one of yourself and some of your kids too.  Remember your man is looking for something HOT and sweet!!!  This will give him something to look forward to the next time he picks up his favorite book!

04. Stop the Press

We Heart Daddies

04. Stop the Press

This is another roll back from Mother's Day.  I loved this idea by Martha Stewart and thought it would be fitting for your hubby too!  I think making a newspaper for your hubby is just plain adorable and will make his day!!!  This will be as fun for you to fill out as it will be for your kids.  Since Martha didn't make one of these for Father's Day you will have to create a page for each kid to fill out and a big girl page for you to fill out.  This is very easy to do with word since they have newsletter templates already created for you. Pick the template you like and get to work. Maybe copy the template idea from Martha Stewart and use some of her section ideas but give it a big girl twist. For the picture section draw an activity that you enjoy with your hubby.  For the story section think of something a little spicy to write about. Make your hubby feel loved, sexy, and amazing all at the same time.  For the checklist section find words you admire about him as a husband, lover, and father. Glue all your pages together, fold it up like a newspaper, and slip it into one of those red plastic bags that real newspapers come in.  When you make his breakfast in bed place this on his tray. This will be a paper he won't be able to put down and he will treasure this forever!!!

03. Father's Day Questionnaire

We Heart Daddies


3.  Father's Day Questionnaire


Remember this idea from Mother's Day?   We can't do this one for the moms and not for the dads!  The Mother's Day Questionairre was a huge hit for the Crafting Chicks so they made one for the Father's as well. My little twist to this is changing "dad" for "husband". Also change a few of these questions making it fitting for a wife to fill out for her husband. Question ideas...

* start off each sentence with...I love my husband because...
* Mention sensual & romantic things about your husband

Be a little creative and you can really make your husband feel extra special with your "All about my Husband" questionnaire.

Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip-Bacon Cookies

Does your man love bacon?  If so this pretty cookie filled to the brim with yumminess is just what he wants for Father's Day.  Don't be scared by the thought of bacon in a cookie!!! It's surprisingly delicious!  Your hubby will love the sweet and salty combo.  I've made these for Father's Day on several occasions and everyone that has one goes back for seconds.   This Father's Day win the love of your man's stomach as well as his heart!  This recipe is definately a keeper!


Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip-Bacon Cookies
by Tickled In Love

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Pinch of chipotle or ancho chile powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 strips bacon thick cut double smoked bacon (good bacon is the key to the this recipe)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup roughly chopped honey- roasted peanuts
1/3 cup bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, chile powder and salt in a large bowl.

Cut the bacon into uniform pieces.  Then cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; reserve 2 tablespoons of the drippings and set aside to cool. Crumble the bacon, discarding any chewy bits.

Beat the butter and reserved bacon drippings in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the peanut butter until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the granulated and light brown sugar until creamy, about 4 minutes, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy, about 2 more minutes.

Reduce the mixer speed to low; add the flour mixture in 2 additions, scraping down the bowl as needed, until just combined. Stir in the peanuts and all but 2 tablespoons each of the chocolate chips and bacon.

Form the dough into 12 balls and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with your fingers (the cookies will not spread in the oven); press the reserved bacon and chocolate chips on top. Bake until golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

***NOTE:   because of the bacon, the cookies don't keep as long as regular chocolate chip cookies; the bacon starts to taste a little gamey after a few days. Luckily, they never last that long, which might be why the recipe only makes 12 cookies.  If you have more people to feed make the balls into about 1 1/4 inch, making around 18 balls and pat them down to even size and height, so they bake evenly.

Who's your daddy??? Idea 1. and 2.

It's time to celebrate our favorite Daddy's!!!

Throughout the week I will be sharing cute Father's Day ideas from other sites and putting a little love twist to them.   Beware, your man is going to love you and want you this Father's Day!!!  Your man will soon be asking, "Who's your Daddy???"

We Heart Daddy's:

1.  I love my My Man from How Does She

This is a great tutorial to help make this gift easier for you.  My twist would be changing up the saying from "We love daddy" to "I love My Man."  This will be a sexy little gift to only be displayed in the bedroom.  Place scandalous pictures of you on the clips.  Maybe a few naughty notes.  Throughout the year continually change out the pictures and notes.

2.  Hate Ironing from How Does She

This is an incredible idea because it makes slackers who hate ironing, like myself, look very creative and thoughtful!  My twist to this is bundling up only a couple of shirts at a time.  Tie each bundle with a hot and steamy note, a sexy coupon, or a naughty picture of yourself possibly wearing one of the shirts or only a tie.   Leave each bundle in a not so easy to find location.

Yay For Our Winner

Today is the big day!!!  It's the day of the boudoir shoot for Father's Day.  Our lucky winner is soo excited and can't wait for the evenings events.  In order to get her picture ready she is getting her hair and makeup done by Drop Dead Gorgeous, receiving a sexy apron from Vintage Spice, and being coached through a steamy photo shoot by Nicholette Dawn Photography!  Of course she is going home with a sexy package full of fun games for her hubby from Tickled in Love!  Her hubby is going to be one spoiled boy this Fathers Day.  We are seriously so excited for her!!!   I have anticipation butterflies because this is going to be a fun night.    She is going to LOVE the experience!!!  Yay for our winner!!!
