Hi all,
I've seen ideas on here about boxes of things that the brides are giving their grooms such as a miniature drink for their nerves, tissues etc but I'm after a present to give him that he can keep. I know it's tradition to give a watch or cuff links but he already had these. Have you guys any other ideas?

I don't see what him already having these things would matter?
I've never heard a woman say "I was going to buy some earrings, but I already have some"
My wife bought me a really nice watch for our wedding and I loved it....Even though I'd already bought myself a new watch to wear on the day
I bought myself some cuff links too (had matching ones with the best men / groomsmen) - really like wearing them now on special occasions as they remind me of my big day (plus, they're BATMAN...and that's always cool
Sorry, I haven't explained myself well, I meant he already has the cuff links for the wedding.

No he's not a jewellery kind of guy and he has quite a labour intensive job so wouldn't wear it purely for H&S reasons. He doesn't even wear a watch in case he gets it caught.
Whens your big day? x

We gave our best men lovely skeleton pocket watches...I was quite gutted I didn't get one, actually. Quite nice, because they're not designed to be worn every day, can be worn on special occasions, are "something to keep" and you can get stands for them to use as like a small clock inbetween times.
I like the plectrum idea as it's personal.
The "problem" I'm finding is OH isn't fanatical about anything really. He likes football and supports a certain team and I have contacted them to see about getting something done but he isn't majorly into it like he used to be. He doesn't have any other hobbies so I really have no idea.
I even asked him if there was anything he could think of and he said "I would hate to shop for myself because I don't know what I want!"

I wish. I'm still hoping
I like the pocket watch idea. Or, if you don't mind something a little "silly", maybe a trophy-style plaque with your wedding date on?
