Hello hitchers (dont want to say ladies in case there is still the occasional male hitcher about!)

Ive been thinking of putting a little box together for my OH to open on morning of the wedding, nothing extravagant, just a card and some silly gifts.

So far I have

Mints

Socks

Some good whiskey to put in the hip flask I know he is taking with him

A card

Any other suggestions?

:-)

    I haven't read all the responses on here as I only have a minute, but an inexpensive thing to do is what my OH did for me '101 Reasons Why I Love You': a lovely wooden box containing 101 cards, and on each he'd written a reason why he loves me. It was so gorgeous I couldn't stop crying ?[:'(]. I have no idea how he'll ever top that! I jumble the cards up and pick one out every day and it really gives me a boost!

    I do admit that it would be time consuming, but so worthwhile - and I know you said you're not soppy, but it doesn't have to be soppy (he put things in their like "you make a mean cup of tea"; "You have a lovely turn of phrase"; "You have an evil sense of humour"; "without you I'd never have got an iPhone"...aswell as "you love being a mother"; "you're lips are so soft"; "you're so generous"...etc)

    Fabbest gift of all time!!

    Oooh you're not a million miles away from me, and I also booked mine through Groupon - wonder if it's the same place (a shoot in Nottingham?) Have you had yours yet? It looked such great value but I have to say I'm worried it'll be some dodgy little back street studio!

    I'm planning on getting my OH an engraved hipflask as he's always wanted one, and I'll fill it with port (he only drinks cider, wine, port and baileys so limited options!), then he'll get the prints or a photobook from my boudoir shoot (which I'm hoping to get done in February), and a card of some description. He's also paranoid about me getting horse slobber down me before I even get to the church, so I might include something jokey like a hanky for him to clean the slobber off me in the church!

    I came up with quite a good idea the other day (well I think it is anyway!).

    Over the next few months, I'm going to ask his married male friends and family to write down their tips for the day and their tips for a good marriage. I'll put it together into a little booklet to give to him the night before the wedding (not the morning of because he might spend too much time reading it and be late!).

    I might also get him some map cufflinks, as we got engaged abroad and are getting married abroad, so can have one map from each place.
