    I'm not getting him anything - is this really tight?! I had a great idea in mind but we're just too poor at the moment to get it. I would rather treat him to a weekend away in a few months. Feel really mean now!

  • Everyone thanks so much for your responses. It's been a great help.

    I've ordered the Grooms Journal, and 'How to be a good husband' book, haha.
    I'm also going to do a mini hamper, I've ordered a hip flask which has been engraved and i'm going to put in a couple of whisky miniatures as that was his dad's drink. I've got a hankie personalised with a message (& one for my Dad), i'm going to put in some chewing gum and chocolate - but am stuck for anything else...... IDEAS?!

    Shop around - if you google spaceform different shops will come up. I got mine from Amazon.

  • We've bought all the guys in our bridal party socks, they have usher / best man etc written on them. but yeah i could buy him some funny pants!
    Those spaceforms are nice, but not something he would appreciate I think. No doubt it would just be put in a drawer somewhere, lol.

    I love this forum, you are all so helpful :-) V x

    I'm doing the FYEO portrait, but not giving it to him until our first anniversary - fills the 'paper' theme nicely!

    Just incase anyone else was thinking of it I was in a bookshop today and saw the Don't for Husbands. It was only £2.99 and I can see why, it was very boring and had things like don't leave your carpentry tools out for your wife to put away. Plus it was tiny!
    I did however get
    "The Husbands Book" - for the husband who's best at everything. £9.99
    It's quite witty and has tips such as spontanious flowers, booking trips to the london eye, how to compliment you on your outfit and my favourite - suggestions for anniversary gifts.
    I would say it's well worth the extra £7!!!
