    HI Ladies

    I have got my H2B the following for 3 weeks time it didnt cost a lot for any of it but I know he will love some of the things...
    A large box with I have wrapped in pretty paper:
    1) Groom journal with help from here I made al ovely book wiht photos, stories, poems etc in it looks really amazing and so glad I didnt buy a prepared one as I have made it really personal
    2) Boudoir photos to mark me losing my last bit of weight (4 stone in total) I got a offer off groupon £20 got 5 pics on CD and on print but I actually think they look better in black and white so I changed them myself and printed them (If anyone is thinking of doing this I did 3 looks one in my bridal underwear with my veil over my face this is my favourite so flattering) I wrote on back this is what is underneath my dress lol....
    3) Aftershave
    4) ECB cufflinks
    5) groom socks and matching boxers
    6) letters and cards from the England Cricket team (signed by every player), Arsenal, and my favourite from the prime minister wishing us well on our wedding day which i have put in some frames


    All sentimental stuff but I was really stuck on what to get him on a limited budget... most of the above were free or really cheap the aftershave being the most expensive...
  • My husband got the wonderful gift of me as his wife on our wedding day. He is still delighted 2 months on and has no plans to return for a refund:D. It didn't occur to us to buy each other presents as well. It just seems another layer of stress to me.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Got to agree! I asked my OH whether he was expecting a present when we got married or if I was enough? I asked if I could buy him a telecaster.... When I got off the floor and stopped laughing I *think* I heard him say I would be enough of a gift...

    I'm getting my OH a smatchet.

    He's v into militaria, and v outdoorsy (in a Ray Mears kinda way), so I know he'll love it. Plus, he keeps going on about having one...I just have to put him off buying one for another ten months.
    We may not have it all together, but together we have it all :beer:

  • My OH loves Highlander so my idea is to get him a sword letter opener and give it with a little note/card for him to open the night before our wedding. I'm struggling to find one online though which is frustrating! I'm also notoriously bad at getting overexcited and spoiling surprises when it comes to gifts I know he'll love!

    I have decided to get my OH and the boys a limo to take them to the ceremony as a surprise. I have a cool car taking me and I didn't think it was fair that they didn't. So they are going to get collected and be driven around for an hour with loads of things to do in the car and Iknow that they will love it.
    I have also asked at a photography school if they know anyone who needs to expand their portfolio with some boudoir shots so i have fingers corssed they do.
