I don't really have a huge budget to buy him a gift after all of the wedding planning... I know he will probably be happy with anything that I give him though. I was thinking about cologne, or a silk robe, but these seem like blah everyday gifts. I also considered a copy of the first pic we ever took together in a really nice frame... Of course this will be accompanied by a card. Any other suggestions will be welcomed... I want to give him something unique and meaningful but I can't think of anything else... I know he loves to play chess and we are planning for him to teach me, so I could buy a nice chess set but this doesn't really seem appropriate does it? He loves music, traveling like little road trips, being outdoors, and computers. Thanks in advance for your suggestions....

i think a nice chess set would be nice for him. if he loves chess and wants to teach you then youre gift will bring you 2 together in a nice relaxing way. i know you said you are on a budget but a nice digital slr camera would also be a great gift, esp. since he likes traveling.

Here are some ideas. Pick your favorite:
A mix CD that you burn yourself, containing a nice variety of romantic, fun, sexy, and silly songs that remind you of your relationship, or that have a special meaning to the both of you.
Really nice cufflinks, which are sort of the traditional wedding gift from wife to husband, though I'm not sure if anyone wears cufflinks anymore.
A nice watch with a sweet inscription engraved on the back of it. (There are some great watches out there for not too much money.)
Where are you honeymooning? Your gift could be tickets to a show he'd love, or surfing lessons, or something like that, that he can do while you're on your honeymoon.
Some advice to you: Men in general don't always go for that schmoopy stuff, so even though a gift like a framed copy of the ticket stub of the first movie you ever went to or something like that would melt a woman's heart, most guys would probably look at it and go, "Oh, great, one more thing I have to keep on my desk for the rest of my life." Men, at least all the ones I know, are always more into gifts that are useful AND meaningful, rather than sentimental. Congrats on your wedding!

Weddings I have attended, the bride and groom had their wedding party take gifts to each other BEFORE the ceremony begins.
You are going to be so beat after the wedding and the partty, the best thing you can give each other is sleep. maybe a mutual foot rub in a bath tub together.
Guys are not normally sentimental ( as evidenced by the answers they have given here), so I would hate for you to get something for him and then be disappointed if he didnt show the expected response because he is tired.
Truthfully, I think you should just give of yourself in the biblical sense and even that might have to wait until the morning.
Most of all, respect each other. If you are tired and he is tired, you are going to both be a little testy.
Keep the wedding night simple and enjoy your time together.
Congratulations!

Just write them a cheque or buy a gift certificate and bring it with a card to the wedding. Without a registry it's pretty hard to buy a gift that they will like.

I like your idea of the first picture. Perhaps combine this sentimental gift with the chess set, since that is his passion. With the chess set, perhaps there is one who's squares/peices are in your wedding colors? You can get sets in almost every color these days. That way he'd be reminded of the wedding when he plays.
Don't stress too much on the gift, I am sure he'll love whatever you get.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!

Since you said you dont have a huge budget i really like the picture idea that u mentioned. one idea you could do with that is get the pic big enough where u could write a letter on the back of it explaining how much u love him etc u kno what u want to write...this way he will have to take the pic out of the frame and really read the back ect which would be more meaningful .....or if u didnt want to write the letter on the back of the pic then u could typed it and spray it with your perfume and wit rose pettels (sp) in the letter in the envelope. this will mean the most to him cuz there is no money envolved it is comming from the heart. i hope your wedding goes WONDERFUL and that everthing is filled with love and that u are very happy! hope i helped :)

Unique art gift is the best present for any occasion.
I recommend photoartomation.com ( http://www.photoartomation.com/ArtWork.htm ).
These guys convert individual images to more then 50 artwork styles (Embroidery, Impasto Fauvism, Airbrush, Pencil Sketch… etc.,). After you send them your photo they create a preview sample of your photo.
I sent a digital photo of my wife (I wanted to give her a special present for Valentines Day) to photoartomation and they turned it into three gorgeous art samples that I could preview online. I had a hard time picking one because all three were really beautiful. Although their prices pretty high I was not disappointed because when I received my order the prepared artwork was much more impressive then online samples. And my wife was just speechless…

well, get creative, you are going to be spending the rest of your lives together, so be bidget-less...if he likes traveling on little road trips, get him a gas card for, well, a lot, then tell him that when you guys get back from the honeymoon, you're going on a road trip, load up onmoney, and just drive, doesn't matter where, forget the map (but make sure you have a plan for getting back) and just drive wherever, i think that would be sweet, i would love something like that, i think he would to, maybe bring a couple frienda along, you know, you could do wonders with that. if you really want to get a non-everyday gift, then you hve to get into his opersonal interests, so feel free to wonder with it, you know? good luck and congrats! (ps, ignore all the rude answers about "the wedding night", you know what i mean) good luck!

Just a hint - I gave my husband a wedding gift, he had never even considered getting me one. I have to say that I was hurt. Mention to someone that you are getting him a gift - someone like his mom who will tell him, so that he will get you one.
Sounds unromantic, but I have been married a long time, and I can tell you that most men need some suggestions.
