My OH is always complaining about our laptop as it freezes ect as there is much junk on it and no matter how many times we reset everything, it never works properly. After thinking about what i could get H2B as a wedding gift i thought that a laptop would be perfect as he has a watch that he never takes off ( his late aunt gave it to him) and he doesnt need anything else.
However, my family were laughing and saying that it would be the most unromantic wedding gift ever - i just thought that i would get him something that he would apprieciate and use rather than something that will probably be put in a drawer or box.
What do you ladies think?

I voted for the laptop, how many cufflinks can a man wear? my H2B already has 2 pairs and he's prob worn each once! He'd probably appreciate the laptop more xx

I say the first thing I think of!

I would say if he needs it, then why not? But then again, Dan & I are both geeks, and I got him a SAN for his!

How about you get him the laptop and try find a cheap but half decent set of cufflinks maybe personalised if your budget can stretch to it!? Xxx
I vote laptop but have it allready set up for him with a nice message on the welcome screen to make it more romantic :) xx

I have said wedding item as you don't get married for another 9 months- will he not hVe got one before then if he really can't stand it?
CommentAuthorKinkyemo
If its something that is needed then The laptop is perfect! What is the point in buying something he will only use once! Who said the gift has to be romantic??
we are thinking of buying each other a little tattoo lol
CommentAuthorCheryl22
hi thanks for the replies - i like the message/pic idea for him
sam73 - no as i keep saying we cant afford one just now so either uses his phones internet or borrows my sisters.

I voted lap top. Your right, get him something he will really love and have lots of use out of. It;s the same with my h2b, he dont wear watches and he has 4 of then, nor does he wear cufflinks. So I dont see the point in wasting money on any of these things. And who knows what's romantic these days!!!! Everyone has a different idea of romance, so dont let people get to you. x
CommentAuthorjo Santa
I love your idea kinkyemo - I want a tattoo, so I might just drop the hint about that...

CommentAuthorpurpleme

CommentAuthorlinzi
I think a wedding item. I mean a laptop is only gonna last what 3-4 years if you are lucky?? Can you not ask for some comet vouchers as a gift or something then get one after the wedding, but get him something romantic and something he can keep forever as his wedding gift?

there is an alternative to a laptop-An iPad 2. and get it engraved which is free with apple
CommentAuthorFruity_pops
u cud always do something nice to go on the laptop ... i recently did a video for my h2b of 50 reasons why i love him. u can do something like this place in a room that u know he goes in with a note on top on the laptop saying lift me and press play and just let him watch ... something romantic and put to dics as a keepsake so will always have something to remember it by and is practical.

i would buy the lap top as it is something very useful that im sure he will enjoy and the two of you can use... the other wedding items are nice dont get me wrong but how often will he use them compared to a lap top?
cant wait to be Mrs Evans less than 3 weeks woooo

CommentAuthorNishaVyas88
I vote for the laptop too- its much more thoughtful than cufflinks. If it's a personal gift, that alone makes it romantic. For example, roses are inherently romantic, but not so much so if the person you're buying them for prefers orchids.
CommentAuthorLeeny80
Laptop - he needs it so why not!! and as others have said you can have it all set up with a message and maybe some pictures for him xx

I'm all for the laptop, I know my h2b would never wear cufflinks they would just sit in drawer gathering dust
CommentAuthorMrs Badger

CommentAuthorstressed to max b2b
id say laptop why buy him something that hes probably never gunna use again, might not be the most romantic but its something hes gunna like and enjoy you could even fill it with a private file for him with some kinky photos of you or something say have a bridal photo shoot and put the images on before giving him it with a note instructing him what to do before anything else or even when he turns it on it has a msg on it from is "new wife" xx
met him 25/8/97
he proposed 4/3/98

CommentAuthorEnny
i voted laptop as i know the feeling if a laptop stops working... argh have 3 broken ones at home already :D h2b is nagging i keep always using his :D lol so no matter how unromantic it is a good idea as it seems needed :D
CommentAuthorChrissy~MrsFaulds2b
I voted laptop......if that's what he wants then get it!!! No point getting something wedding related if he's not gonna get an use from it. I've got my H2B a PS3 as he's been going on an on about wanting one for an age. I have however bought him a few little romantic bits too which i'll give him when we're alone :)
