(xposted) Old Marrieds - What did you buy your H?

I'm trying to think of a little gift I can get H2B to open on the morning of the wedding, I have already gone through the usual items like watch, cufflinks, hip flask. But they're not 'working' for me. Also I can't get him smellies as I did that first time around...plus he has tonnes of aftershaves etc.

I know that he'd really love a nice tool belt...but is it worng to buy him that for his wedding, I think it's more a birthday gift, (he'd also like a PS3 but my budget won't stretch to that).

I've got him a nice card which I'll scribble some words in...but I want to wrap something.

For a start I though you asked 'where did you buy your husband' !!

Was 6 years ago now and I bought him nowt and he bought me nowt, we couldnt see the point really.

Its nearly 5 years ago now and I'm embarrassed to say I can't remember! I may have bought him cufflinks.

He bought me earrings. Not that that's any help to you

Thanks for your help ladies. I may just give him the card unless I'm inspired by something else.

Well I got MrSun a TAG watch but that's both out of budget and off your list so not much help.  Tickets for something?  Footie match, concert?

Am thinking i might put together a 'shoe box' and make a sort of kit to get him through the day eg, socks, a letter, aftershave, shoe polish,

or i might not lol

depends if i have the time before the wedding or i might just decide its far too cheesy lol

He got me - what more could he have possibly needed

It'll be a year on the 6th Sept for us!

I bought H a day trip to go to Old Trafford and see Manchester United play.  It was something he's never done before and has wanted to go since he was a small boy!  The only downside was I bought him 2 tickets and he took me!!  I had hoped he'd ask his dad as he knows how much I loathe Man U, but no he wanted me to go!!

HTH

Luv Victoria

We didn't get each other anything. Our wedding rings were gifts to each other.

I named a star for my husband

That's just what my mum said when I said I was struggling to think of something to get! She thinks it's silly to buy each other wedding presents but like you Tahdah, I really want to get him a little something to unwrap on the day. I have already bought a card and some aftershave - I bought him the same aftershave for our first Christmas together so brings back a few memories! I also thought about cufflinks because he wears a suit for work quite a bit. I really like the shoebox idea though Sazelbean!

I got him cufflinks because he needed them, a hipflask because we'd got them for the bestmen and he loved them, a pocket watch, a getting ready kit including all his mini toiletries and new socks and boxers with no holes in (I couldn't guarantee what he would end up wearing on the day otherwise!). I was also very twee and did the 101 reasons why I love you, which he liked more than all of the stuff I'd bought anyway

We got married abroad so I got him a silver cross necklace whilst there, mostly as something to bring back rather than a wedding gift but he wore it on our wedding day. He bought me earrings to match a necklace he had given me the week before on my birthday. Both matched my wedding ring.

That's what we did!

To be honest we didn't even think about getting each other a present.  He chose the cufflinks he wanted, and I wore a necklace and earings that he'd bought for Valentines Day and I decided to save it for our wedding day.

Was only on 13th June and seems ages ago now!

Mate, just read this thread!  Why not get him the tool belt because H2B would appreciate it so much and buy some things to put in / attach to the tool belt.  Like 'tools for marriage' or something ( a bit twee I know!).  

I think that would be very you too.
