    i no im always the smutty one so i will continue that

    why not do a boudiour shoot and give her the pics in the morning (oooo would be nice with a top hat if your wearing one)

    maybe a calander of next year with pictures of you and your anniversary date circled

    ummmm lots of people like getting mugs with mrs and her new surname on

    maybe if you are crafty you could make her a beautiful box as a wedding day memories box and put everything in it from the day (give it to her the next day)

    any little stupid things between the 2 of you eg i call my OH rabbit so am hunting for a rabbit cufflink

    maybe a blow up man doll (this isnt as bad as it sounds) dress him up in your clothes and get someone to sneak it in to her bedroom before she goes to sleep with a really sweet note along the lines of i hope he will keep you company tonight but from tomorrow we will never be apart (maybe a bit smarter than that lol)

    If you want a jewellery related gift you could buy something like a pandora charm bracelet and add a charm to represent the wedding....and add a charm on other significant dates too...1st anniversary..1st christmas as married etc etc..that way you will always not be stuck for a present as you could give her another charm and the bracelet will represent your life together...

    Lingerie is difficult - she will probably already have chosen her wedding lingerie as a .... ahem... gift to you? ;)

    You could get her a "just married" bikini or knicker set she can wear on honeymoon??

    Lingerie is definitely more the groom thinking about himself than his bride.

    I like the jewellery ideas. I think a nice little present would be name and address stickers with your new name (presuming your fiancee is taking your surname). Vistaprint a great range and you can usually get them free (just pay the postage). Not a major gift to treasure but a nice thought.

    I agree with everyone that has said you know your bride better than us.

    For example - alot of people are saying jewellery - well I don't actually wear much and I'm unsure whether I'll bother on our wedding day... so that'd be a waste of money. I don't wear pretty watches either (need a stop watch for work so a BabyG is my watch of choice).

    So what would I like (shame I know he doesn't read my posts on here) would be a simple list of all the things he loves about me or all the things he loves that we've done over the last 13 years. :) Something to make me grin like a cheshire cat would go down well. :D
