Help Needed: Meeting Daddy for the First Time

[Lucia]

Hello, thanks for opening this topic. ☺️

 

I'm going to meet my daddy for the first time in February. We've been together for more than a year and in LDR ever since, so I'm really anxious (also very excited!) about it. 

 

I'd love to surprise him with something when he's arrived, but I don't know what should I give/do? He's gonna have a long flight (two days till he finally made it to my place) and I want to get him something that'll make him feel better after the long and exhausting trip he had. Do you guys have any suggestions? 😢😢

How about a mani pedi or couples massage? Not sure what part of the world you live in, but a picnic is always fun depending on the time of year. Parks and zoos are always fun.

Well... I am not so sure if he will be exhausted. I think the excitement and adrenaline of meeting you for the first time will kick in for some hours and kill all the tiredness. It's biology and chemical reactions actually.

So I would rethink the gift from that perspective?

@Cebakes idea is wonderful imo. Having a relaxing time like that will let his body chill after such a long travel but he can still chit chat with you about how his travels went.

Afterwards you guys could go out to a lunch or dinner somewhere. 
 

As for a gift , I would go with something that would make a Daddy’s heart melt. Do you have a special stuffed animal he knows about ? Spray your perfume on it and gift him the stuffy to take back home with him to cuddle. You could also just buy a new stuffy that reminds you of him and do the same thing so you’re not adopting out your precious stuffies. 
 

I think hand written letters have also lost their mojo with people , a really nicely hand written letter can go such a long way these days. Maybe a poem or all the reasons you are glad he’s your Daddy. He can put it in his wallet to carry around with him and read whenever he misses you.

Wow two days is a long travel time! I know sometimes littles have self-care kits for themselves, but in this instance I'd probably think about setting some stuff up for your partner so they can instantly relax when they arrive!

Things I'd think about setting up:
Towel and wash cloth for shower and maybe a few bathroom necessities in case he hasn't brought any
Make the bed nice and comfy for some resting
Have some cold water bottles ready for hydration and some other drinks he may enjoy on hand
Have coffee available if he likes it (maybe ask what his favorite is), I imagine with all that jet lag it might be something he'd really want
Have a meal planned for when he arrives (dinner, lunch, or breakfast) so he can get some food in his system
Some snacks by the bed

While he's there have little things ready and prepared for you both to enjoy. If you like hot chocolate that could be a fun activity to make and share together with any of the fixins you like (whipped cream, marshmallows, etc). You could have stuff ready to make cookies together. Have some movies planned.

I'd think along those lines and I'm sure you could come up with some fine ideas or a little self-care set up so he can get some much needed rest after traveling so long.

err... the couple's massage might be awkward first thing as he arrives, yes he will be achey but he will be VERY excited to meet you XD some guys would consider that torture or just open the door for a very embarrassing moment so early on. Also unless you know he is into it, not something you want to surprise him with in my opinion. He will not be comfortable saying no at that point. Picnic if weather allows sounds lovely and the pedi would probably be ok.

Is he staying in a hotel? is he flying or driving? that will make a difference on things you can do. You could cook his favorite meal or find a restaurant that he will enjoy if you don't cook.

I would say the main thing is just being available while he is there, you could write him a letter that you will give him in person talking about how excited you are, your fears and thank him for making the effort to finally meet in person and how wonderful the year talking to him has been?

Good luck!
