    I bought my H a weekend away to see Man U play at Old Trafford!

    He's always wanted to go there and see them play, so I bought him a weekend for 2, in the hope that he'd take his dad, but no he demanded I go with him! There is nothing I hate more than Man U. The only football team I'm interested in is my lovely Rangers!

    He bought me Swarovski crystal jewellery (earrings, bracelet and necklace) as my dress was beaded with Swarovski crystals (the only thing he knew about my dress). The jewellery actually cost him more than the weekend away cost me?

    Think I'll get my h2b a watch and something to wear with his kilt so maybe a kilt pin or sporan or something.

    I'm getting mine new golf shoes, woods, golf bag and cricket boots. Its what he asked for and it ain't cheap. I'm getting a dog. I've always wanted one so he thought that it would make great present for me.

    I got him boudoir shots of me, and he got me a beautiful silver necklace that I'd been after for ages. (this one in fact) It was handmade by a jeweler friend of mine.

    I've honestly never considered that we'd buy eachother a present. I'm sure it's a lovely thought, but it just seems a bit unecessary to me.

    There's already so much to plan/buy that I don't think we'll be getting anything. Of course, I haven't spoken to Iain about it. I'll have to see what he thinks. If he's dead set on it, then I'll get him a new drum!

    Me and my H2B have chatted about this and both said we're not really fussed about presents - we're buying each other our wedding rings!

    Although someone at work sent his wife flowers on the morning of their wedding which I think is sooo romantic, so I'm not going to complain if mine decides to do this!!

    Me & H2B were talking about this & because we have done the wedding in short notice we cant really afford to buy each other presents so we agreed not to. He did say I was a good enough present for him ? haha.

    Im kinda glad actually cuz I had no idea what to get him, still struggling with parents & page boy presents!!

    We haven't disucssed presents and I can't imagine the thought even crossing H2B's brain. I'm pretty sure he will think we have spent enough money anyway and that its not needed. I may buy him a little something though. Maybe some cufflinks with something engraved.

    We weren't doing presents until a found out via my mum that he'd got me a bracelet to wear on the wedding day so i went and got him a watch to wear on the day of the wedding.

    I have this dilemma as well. I was going to get H2B some cufflinks, but he was recently bought a very expensive pair by his colleagues to celebrate his 20th anniversary and he's saving these for the wedding, so I don't think I want to go down that route now.

    I might suggest to him that we not bother. I doubt it has even crossed his mind, and we're getting married the day after my birthday so to expect him to come up with two gift ideas may be too much for him!

    We haven't discussed buying gifts but i know H2B has always wanted a pocket watch but never really had the need for one so today infact i have ordered him one which i am going to get engraved when it comes. I have then also seen pocket watch disply stands so im also going to buy him one of those for afterwards.

    I have only thought about buying him something when he said the other day that he will have to get me something extra special as its my birthday and the day he marries his princess (soppy bugger lol) so i thought 'oh poo' lol.
