The night before the wedding i am staying at the hotel and we wont see each other until he see's me walking down the aisle! so excited :)))))
well anyway i am doing a shoe box or maybe a bit larger than that with goodies inside for the morning. do you think i should add anything else? new diamond stud New boxers Cufflinks socks aftershave a card 20 lamberts!! lol - i dont smoke but always seem to be the one calling at the shop to pick up his cigs after work as he works where we live on a farm so i have the car! nice shower gels and shampoos

Mints? Shaver? And as for the funny gift, there are soo many options just all depends on what he likes or if you have any inside jokes just for you and him...

I have bought a lovely personalised poem on a scroll but could be framed for him on the morning of the wedding, It didnt cost much and is beautiful, came from the bay of e.

CommentAuthorMrs brown - 19/08/12
This is a great idea, I might have to steal this too :) Id have to add some funny things in there!x
CommentAuthorRockabilly chick
OOOOh! I really love this idea too! I might do one, I wanted to get H2B a gift of a tattoo but the girl who owns the tattoo shop that is our good pal is going to give H2B a free tattoo of his choice as his wedding present.
I think I would go for
Pouch of tabacco New lighter New Boxers A card A nice shower gel A new wallet (his old one is getting tatty) Something quirky like a south park or star wars figure :-)

CommentAuthorMrs Cerutti2b
I've been thinking of doing something like this, and been after ideas of things to put in. So far i'd come up with.
Boxers Grooms socks A nice watch (he's been wanting a good watch for years, as one of his family traditions was to get a watch for the 21st bday, but his parents didn't bother getting him one, just his brother) Boudoir picture of me. Message in a bottle (little glass bottle with few hearts in, the word love, a red rose, and a scroll for me to write a note on. bay of e) Jagermeister mini bottle and a shot glass. Cuff links, Tissues. Comb Aftershave.
But will be book marking this for any more ideas xx
CommentAuthorMrsowen2b
ooo this sounds great!!
im doing a scrap book with pictures and quotes from times weve had together :) and getting him a little something else but i love this idea he might have to have a box as well haha!
like you im stopping at the hotel the night before so wont seem him till the ceremony!
xx
CommentAuthorJonathanM14
Just a question but why do women get such stereotypical gifts for men?
It seem that womens perception of gifts for a man hasnt changed since 1952.
You had just as well chuck in a whoopi cushion and a can of special brew! lmfao
Men are actually a bit more imaginative than this and their realm of what they like is not the same as their great great great great grandads lmfao
In fact my grandad would make better use of it....... but just a point of view on current thinking with modern men for you there just to consider.

CommentAuthorJonathanM14
I beg your pardon? LMFAO
CommentAuthorJonathanM14
I would consider my life incomplete without:
A pair of socks and boxers i dont need. A collection of bus tickets and horses**t to make some rolly's with. Another pair of socks just in case. A crate of BRUT aftershave - this can be substituted with pine disinfectant if the B2B cannot run to the budget of a whole £. More boxers, cant have enough, it seems. A vat of Brylcreem and a penknife to cut and style my hair. Maybe a pair of socks but im not sure on that one. A hankerchief you could safely parachute down from Ben Nevis in. ..and what was it,, oh yes.... ANOTHER pair of socks and boxers.
CommentAuthorJonathanM14
As tempting as it would be to dive head first into the previous box, astonishingly what i would actually like would be the following:
Clinique after shave balm. MIniature bottle of Brut (NOT the aftershave) Champagne. Champagne flut with our wedding date and names on it. (these last two i would have in your gift box so we could toast each other as we get ready) Mniature bottle Gaultier Homme aftershave, just cant beat it! A bar of handmade soap in favourite fragrance.
If you go for the first gift box and not the second, then just face it, you cant afford me anyway! :-)

Gunna attempt to make a wee box for h2b after all. Going shoppin tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas ladies. Xxxxxx
CommentAuthorJennyTembo
i know for a fact my h2b would be over the moon with a box of stuff he likes... and he always wants new boxers and socks at least if i put new socks in his box i know he wont be wearing any with holes in ...lol ...mini bottle of his fave smell... "beckham homme"italion stalion robe" can of his fave lynx deodrant, hair wax, pic of me with some script on the back and maybe a personlised mug done at moon of pig with personlised pics of us on and the date of our wedding :)... may start this box soo as it could prove costly... but i know he would love it xx
looking forward to being Mrs Embo :)
CommentAuthorJonathanM14
Yes i think it is legobride,
clinique after shave balm compared to a pair of boxers? Miniature bottle of champagne compared to a can of special brew or a vat of brandy? Bar of handmade soap compared to the obligatory and seemingly mandatory dull cufflinks?
Need i go on??? lmfao
CommentAuthorJonathanM14
Or were you speaking of my first list of suggestions legobride? if you were then i would agree with you lmfao
CommentAuthorMrs Cerutti2b
Thats what else i'm planning on putting in my H2B box, cheers Jonathan you reminded me, a mini bottle of verve clicquot. And might go for the champagne glass idea. But think my mum is planning on buying us matching ones for the table, as a keep sake. And I agree boxers and socks are a bit dull, but so damn useful! lol and i'm intending to put little tags on them to explain why i've bought each thing, like socks - "so you don't get cold feet" type thing. Just little stupid bits to make him smile.
CommentAuthorVictoriaM1
I love the idea of putting little tags on them to explain what they mean... Brilliant :)!! xXx
