i'm getting my h2b his fave aftershave and giving it him the day before the wedding so he can wear it on the day and getting him something to give him on the wedding night aswel but avn't got a clue what to get him. x
CommentAuthorjennab123
I was thinking of doing one of them sexy photo shoots and leaving it there in the morning for him and saying something like see you at the alter, not sure though cos they are pretty expensive!xx
hay thats a wicked idea - i might get his fav aftershave from when he was younger and sneak it in to his bag for the morning of the wedding. xx
CommentAuthorcharliemeg
think alot of us have this problem i havnt got a clue what to give my h2b, glad u posted this :)
CommentAuthorx~Hails~x
i wanted something unsual as he has cufflinks and a watch both of which i brought so are wonderful OF COURSE hehehehe so i found 'a wish in a bottle' which i think is cool. (pic on my profile) you can get them in different colours and for different ppl ie bridesmaids, best man groom etc.
If anyone likes and wants the link let me know

CommentAuthorMrs Rebecca Hossfeld
I'd be terrified of his brother walking into the room to walk Adam & finding the photographs of me in a Boudoir Shoot LMAO...that'd make some story for the wedding speeches!

Safe and Traditional Picks
A necklace or bracelet if he wears jewelry A new watch Cufflinks Gift basket of all his favorite things Men’s jewelry / keepsake box New leather wallet, inscribed if you wish Something to use on your honeymoon, like brand name sunglasses or fun outdoor equipment
Classy and Customized
An engraved pocket watch Crystal photo frame for his desk Gift certificate for an adventure of a lifetime – scuba diving, skydiving, hot air balloon rides or something else up his alley Personalized golf balls for the golfer Poem display plaque with some sentimental words

I'm getting h2b a new sword, and also some boudior photos. I'm not sure when i'll be giving him the boudior photos, and everyone will be together on the morning of the wedding. xx
CommentAuthorKizzy81
I've found a lovely little paperweight. It's heartshaped porcelain and says "This heart belongs to..." and you can write your name on it. It's only £9.99 and I think he'd use it at work :-D
CommentAuthorbubblybride
I've bought this http://www.ohsocherished.co.uk/product/1031/296/deluxe_my_beautiful_groom_journal and also written to Liverpool FC to get a congratulations certificate from his fav footie team :)
CommentAuthorClaire Sky
i'm pinching an idea from a friend, she put a box together with cufflinks, her h2b's favourite aftershave, socks, boxers, hanky, love letter and a little bottle of wiskey! xxx
CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
I really want to get my h2b a pocket watch (although he never wears a watch, but think it'd be nice). Have just looked and one of the search results came up as a replica Dr Who fob watch. Now he's a massive Sci-Fi/Dr Who fan, but I worry it's a bit tacky. What do you guys think??? I could possibly still get the back or inside engraved (it's not a limited edition or anything), but that's another worry, that I can't make it personal enough.
Any thoughts? Do you think I'm being silly?
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
Sazra- could you post a link to your wall or mine? Sounds nice in theory but hard to judge without seeing it.

CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
I've posted it on my profile, hasn't come out very well showing the links but should be ok. Thanks for offering to look Dove! :)
CommentAuthorMrs (Dove) Pidgeon
They don't look tacky at all. In addition only Dr Who fans would know the secret- to everyone else it would just a be a fob watch!

CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
That's very true, thanks for looking for me. I think if it was just a watch he'd like it but maybe wouldn't love it. But this, I think he'd love!
CommentAuthorspooney24
Ive had a wee look too at your links Sazra and neither one is tacky looking so I would go with either but have to say the more expensive one is gorgeous. x

CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
Thanks Spooney, the more expensive one is really lovely, but we have agreed not to go mad with cost for presents and I think it may be a bit excessive, but yeah I love the more expensive one too!
Have just ordered the cheaper one and will try to get it engraved.
Thanks for your help!
CommentAuthorMagsy
i think it's a great idea, even better cos he's a dr who fan x

CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
I have ordered it so there's no going back now, although not dispatched until April 30th! :(
I like the idea of personalised golf balls though Carlyroo, fab idea! My dad plays golf so have bought all the golf related pressies over the years, maybe I could get him a Father of the Bride ball made? lol
CommentAuthoressexk
Am doing a x-stitch for h2b. Did one for friends wedding last year and he said how much he liked it. Its been really hard to find time to do it with the wedding planning and finding a time he's not around cos i want it to be a surprise!! x x
CommentAuthorMrs Sazra
That's a lovely idea! :)
CommentAuthorHoxxyhula
No big pressie, but I might do one of those books that Apple do where you send photos in and they deliver a book with them in. You can add words and stuff too, so can do a story of your relationship, a jokey one etc xx
CommentAuthormrsmada
i hav just sent an e-mail to man utd to see if they will send a letter of congrats so keep all ye fingers crossed i get it. carl wil absolutely piss himself if i get it read out at the weddin xx
