Yeah but it would be weird and oddly impressive if my 8 month old daughter got my wife a gift for mother’s day. Since, you know, my wife is her mom.

I am in the exact same situation.

I am getting her a tshirt that says "Resting Brunch Face" because she loves brunch.

Very similar situation.

I got this gift for my daughter though on her first birthday. Very simple and very inexpensive but the thought behind it is cool in my opinion. I got my daughter (or in this case your wife) a journal. What we have done is start a tradition that the day before my daughters birthday we write her a letter from both of us. At a moment in time (I picked my daughters wedding day whenever that would be) we present the journal as a gift.

Maybe get one and a camera so that she can include photos if you are trying to show you spent a lot.

Get a really nice necklace and locket. Better yet, get a matching set for her and your daughter.

Golf? I must have missed where the OP said he was 70 years old.

Relax dude. Fathers Day is June 17th

My wife knows I don’t want anything special for Father’s Day. Every year we just carry on like it’s a normal day. Which means I usually play golf

Congrats but don’t go overboard. You’ll set too high of a bar for future Mothers Days.

Nonsense. This eases her into her eventual constant disappointment in you.

Whatever you decide, just make sure she can post it on Facebook/Instagram to show all the other wives what she got

That should be your benchmark. Don't worry if it makes your wife happy, it needs to make my wife jealous
