Hi ladies, my wedding is next Friday (eeek!) and frantically trying to think of a gift for hubby to open on the morning. Was thinking an engraved pocket watch but don't think it's his 'thing'. I've written a nice card so far! Am at a complete blank! Any inspiration would be appreciated. I tried writing to his fav football team for a letter but they basically said no and I don't want to get clothes/trainers/aftershave as that's usually what he gets for birthdays/xmas!!!!
Thanks in advance.

Does he have a favourite band or singer? I contacted my husband's favourite band to ask for a message from the lead singer, and had given up as I didn't hear anything, but on the wedding day I received an email from him wishing us both well.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.
It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

Very last min! To be honest was hoping for a better response from his football club, I wrote to them in January and only had a response a few weeks ago. He's just so hard to buy for. Doesn't help his 40th birthday is Tuesday too so I've focused more on getting gifts for that as a priority.....and now I'm panicking! I was thinking the pocket watch with a little note saying something like "this is to remind you 1. Not to be late. 2. That time is precious and 3. Even when the hands have long since stopped turning I will still love you beyond measure". Is that naff though?

I think the watch idea is great...... It may not be his thing but I'm sure he would treasure it as its a gift on your wedding day x

I got a signed thing from his football club, I wasn't keen on it but thought he would like it, but what they have sent me is really sweet!

I got mine a survival kit, he brought the rope/string to the wedding and we tied a knot in it.

And I sent him a picture of me (boudoir but not dirty) with the message "see you at 1'0 clock sharp"

I've got a pocket watch for mine as it was what he said he would really like. I think the note you have written for it is lovely and he will appreciate the sentiment. It would def be something special to keep from the wedding day. X
