Wedding Gift for Husband-To-Be

I wouldn't recommend a number plate, my oh got one for his 21st birthday and it costs a fortune!

Everytime you move it you have to pay, then if u sell ur car u have to pay to retain it too, and it lasts a year.

A lot of faf with it.

when my oh is back from his brothers stag do Monday I will update you on the costs.

i like the sound of the trainers more.. But would u not want something he can keep forever? Not just until the trainers wear out?

What hobbies does he have? Golf? Cars? Photography?

I absolutely love the idea of a number plate - I have been shopping around for number plates for my beetle - it's fun looking at the different combinations you can get (perhaps I am just geeky like that)... but up front costs can start from £250 and go way into the thousands depending on the plate you are after. The transfer costs for the future are worth thinking about -but I know that I would love a personalised plate as a gift!!!

I agree with Mrspetal. The number plate is a nice idea but will cost you lots in the long run and it will be a bit sad when he has to throw his trainers away (from experience mens worn trainers are not for keeping!)

I don't know if it's your kind of thing but I like this https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/louandco

I made my own though. I bought a raised frame from Debenhams, I printed on paper that I'd used for our invites, created a tag that is a large version of our place cards, used wire that I had used in the bouquets and some ribbon that I'm using on our favour jars. So even though it's not much it has a lot of meaning plus it says our wedding date so he'll never forget an anniversary. ('Antique' keys were 5 for a £10 from Poundland)

The picture isn't the one I made - it's from the website

Is your man a tattoo guy? That's what i'm doing for my husbands present. I have a design that incorporates our initials and he will get the voucher and picture of tat on the day. But I am thinking of booking him in for the day after our wedding. Also sending him a pair of socks in the morning of our wedding with the message: Just in case you get cold feet.

Boudoir shoot if you are confident enough. He won't complain at some kinky pictures of his wife!

I'm going for the good ole engraved cuff links with the longitude and latitude of where we will say I do. Not origonal to me but I don't think he will have seen it before.

Again not original but I bought mine a watch

I'm planning to do a boudoir shoot... In my wedding lingerie, veil and jimmy choos.

it will be his sneak peak with out the dress! I just wish I could get the photographer to capture look on his face when he opens it!

I did a boudoir shoot and I'm not sure my H has ever looked at the pictures after I gave them to him. Probably a waste of money in my case.

He prefers the personalised Monopoly set.

I'm going engraved watch, and then a mountain bike. He will treasure both

I did a phito book for my hubby - he loved it I chose pics of us from start of relationship to the week before wedding. Simple and personal present and something to always keep. X
