Groom gift inspiration

I am giving mine a hand made painted wooden box filled with some of the things that make me laugh with him or things that mean something to us- he always asks me for a mint so mints will be in there, a miniature bottle of his favourite tipple, my favourite choc bar to remind him of me, cufflinks engraved with our inititals and wedding date, the bridal suite room key for later on!! he isnt a romantic man but he likes me weird little presents like this.

go with what feels right in your heart even if you think it sounds stupid i be he will love whatever you ge him

Mine has got a goodie bag of things with meanings behind them!

A Watch - So he's not late

Socks - So he doesn't get cold feet

A miniature bottle of port - So he can steady his nerves

A keyring engraved with our wedding date - So he never forgets our anniversary

A good husband guide - So we have a happy marriage

A chocolate heart with a personalised message - So he remembers how sweet are love is

A Boudoir Shoot - So he remembers why he's marrying me

Love the idea of a boudoir shoot! That whole goodie bag sounds great! x

I got my husband (wow it feels wierd writing that!) a round Celtic hip flask as most standard shapes were really boring, some of his favourite single malt to put in it, Hotel Chocolat chocs (Planets collection as he is mad keen on astronomy) and a "Under New Management" T shirt. I wrote some little notes on each on some heart shaped post-its. I sorted a card via Funky Pigeon with our names on and then quoted the lyrics to our entrance music "Truly madly Deeply" on the inside.

I got mine his teams football shirt with a personal message on the back and the number 3 for our wedding date. Im having to stop myself telling him about it as I know he is going to love it!!

These are all really cute ideas, thanks everyone. I'm still at a bit of a loss : ( really shouldn't have left this so late! Still, will keep thinking!

I'v put a box together with;

A new watch

Socks - In case he gets cold feet

Boxers shorts - with a "Groom" transfer on them

Aftershave

A poem I have written for him

And....... a few bits from out lives so far ie; first holiday ticket, (cos I am sad like that), things that will remind him of special moments, and then I have printed out small heart tags and put little personalised notes on each item.

Sorry probably not much help......

Does he have any hobbies you could maybe get something around a hobby or interest he has?

I'm doing a scrapbook of all different stages of the wedding. For example, the date we booked our venue with a photo of it etc etc. Then at the end space to put wedding photos, new house photos etc.. I'm doing little bits here and there when his out though so I don't know if you'd have time to do it!

Love this! *stolen* ?

I have bought OH cuff links with a nickname we use for one another on them ? hehe think he'll like them.

Also, as he's into his guitars (he has 5...why you need 5 I don't know, needless to say I haven't bought him another one!) I got him a plectrum/guitar pick made from stainless steel engraved with I Pick You and our wedding date on the reverse.

I adore the plectrum idea! Thank you, I may need to steel it, or at least try and do something similar. I think maybe something like that would be ideal. There is progress - I bought a badge for 99p which has our favourite joke on it! So that's kind of cute and I think it'll be really sweet to give to him, but it would be nice to do something more special and I really like that plectrum idea. And it seems doable in 2 weeks!

I'm buying my OH a piece of art, we can keep it forever and pass it on to our children (assuming they want it).

My friends hubby bought her a beautiful sketch of a naked woman, it was really sensual and she hung it in their bedroom, I thought it was beautiful and very very thoughtful.
