What can I get my fiance for his wedding gift?

Question

I want to get him something really different, cufflinks are so boring!!

I want something exciting and different.

Answer 1

go for something you know he will definitely like, as someone else has said look at his interests, I'm sure you know him really well as you're marrying him lol

if it helps I'm getting my fella a new guitar as the reason we met was because he was teaching me to play (through his ex but thats another story!) so the guitar would be special to us and special to him as he really wants a new one.

see if you can find something thats rare and collectible perhaps that you know he'd really like? who wants to go for tradition anyway, I know if I got my fella cufflinks hed prob think they were earrings or summat haha!

Answer 2

Does he even WEAR cufflinks?

What are his likes/dislikes?

Does he love tools - how about a gift certificate to the local hardware store. If he's into sports, then tickets to his favorite team/event.

Or, how about a hand-written "certificate" that you'll support his "one night out with the boys for poker" or "sunday football game - without interruptions (emergencies excepted - babies do arrive during the SuperBowl)"

I'd draw the line at a mistress however. No kidding.

I mean, c'mon. If you don't know his likes/dislikes by now, I'd think twice about marrying him.

Answer 3

I am getting married in 3 weeks time and have got my partner a framed cd of our first dance. It is in a mount with our names and the date of wedding at the top and the cd of our first dance. I thought it was a great and different idea xx

Answer 4

How about something that he will actually use (cuff links, ha) that you will see him using and you will know he likes, but he is not forced to use? If he does hand work, a special tool from a wood chisel to a wrench to a measuring device to a shovel. Gold plated if you have to. How about a good carving knife if he is expected to carve that roast or turkey? Does he cook, do you - something you can share in the kitchen. Some exotic spices you can share. Drag him off to Williams-Sonora (whatever) to get his interest. Or a hardware store, or an auto tools shop, or a woodworking (Rockler) supply store. These days, if he does wood working, a really nice slab of wood!!

Answer 5

Get a small box and in it put things it from when your first met kissed,fell in love,when you got engaged and may a photo of where your getting married or where your heading for honeymoon! You could write a poem about this your wedding & how you give all that you have your heart!

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Answer 7

I think a pocketwatch is pretty cool, classy and a little different

Also, what about a traditional shaving set? The ones with the cream, the brush, etc?

Answer 8

How about a day doing something he would really love - like tickets to a sports game or a weekend of camping, etc...

Answer 9

Here are some suggestions:

Watch
pocket square/monogram handkerchief
Anything sports related
A handwritten note
A coupon book for lots of lovin'

Good luck! I'm sure whatever you get, he'll appreciate.
