Gift for Groom

I'm really struggling for a gift/s for my OH for our wedding day.
I don't want something like a photo frame.
Budget is about £50.
Was thinking camcorder or season ticket or experience day but all too expensive.
I already got him a signed football pic and black and white print from when his grandad played for one of the teams, but he's already had those now he found out he'd got them!
Any ideas?

    What are his interests (other than football)?

    Maybe you could get something he could use on the wedding day, like a nice watch (or an engraved pocket watch), or some nice cufflinks.
  • He likes basketball, football, dance music, blokey stuff really. He's hiring a pocketwatch as it comes with his outfit, and his dad is buying him cufflinks. It's a tough one! :)

    Home made vouchers are a good free gift. They're generally better for men to give to women because you can put things on them like "Do the washing and ironing" and "Make breakfast in bed". You can give as many as you feel comfortable with because all it costs is your time to do those chores that he normally does (if any? :D ). Then he can hand one over to you at any time in the future and you have to do that thing within a certain amount of time.

    You could also make some saucy ones if you think he'd appreciate it!

    OOH, how about drink? Does he drink? Is he a beer drinker or does he try other stuff. You could get him a very nice bottle of single malt whisky for around £25.

    In fact you can spend as much as you like on the stuff it seems:

    :eek:


    Or something like this (which is much more for me I have to say):
