Gift for Husband to be

ireland am

Getting married this summer and I would like to have a gift to give my husband to be the night before the wedding that says, this is to mark our new life together.

My Mum suggest a watch but I have given him a watch and to be honest he is happy with the one he has. I was thinking of aome Art, maybe a painting? Or is that totally unromantic? I was also thinking aout getting cuff links made but dont know who to go to for that. The wedding is going to be in Leitrim.

I was also wonder if I can get a special bottle of whiskey delivered for the grooms party to have a toast before the wedding.

depends on your budget and if ye are going away on honeymoon why dont you buy him a decent designer pair of sunglasses?
I got married afew weeks ago in sunny spain and got all my groomsmen and bestman a pair of sunglasses each.They were all delighted and they will get much more use out of them than a pair of cufflinks in my opinion!

Does it have to be a gift...? I mean I am not usually a sentimental or emotional person but when it comes to weddings I go wonky at the knees:rolleyes: I just think the whole romance of it should be captured and what better way then to leave a little note for him when he wakes on the morning of your wedding. It says more than any gift ever could!

I know that is what I did for my hubbie, I racked my brains thinking of a gift but realised there was nothing I could give him to mark the occasion more than a letter and lets be honest, its not like many people get love letters these days anyway haha!

if he's into whiskey that's a really nice idea, and+1 for the letter idea, that's what i did - but i also got him a pair of cufflinks to wear on the day - we got married in vegas and i got a really nice pair from a seller on etsy.

If he's into whiskey, get him a bottle of Middleton Rare Whiskey!

If its Whiskey you are after avoid Middelton (It is a fantastic Whiskey and I am a big fan but common and available everywhere). Mrs Fattes has told me I am getting a special Whiskey bottle for the morning of our wedding this year but I have no idea what it is.

Try the Irish Whiskey Shop on Dawson street for something different and special.

Cufflinks are good or you could try NIKE ID and get him a pair of personalised runners/Football boots/golf shoes (Delete as appropriate)

I kindof like the idea of the wallet, just to use for paying for things on the day, you could get Mr and Mrs xxxxxx and a pic of yourselves on it.
Hava a look at this site it may give you some ideas. All of your ideas sound lovely, best of luck with the wedding and your future lives together.

I made my husband a New Husband Survival Kit as a wedding present. In it was things like a first anniversary card, in case he forgot; a box of my fave chocs in case we had a row; a voucher for uninterrupted football watching; a pair of earplugs for when I started nagging him, stuff like that!

It was just meant to be a bit of fun and a laugh and he really seemed to like it. I got him a lovely card and wrote a bit of a love letter in it too.

(Also got him a digital camera, just a pocket sized one, for snaps as he didn't have one.)

The standard Middleton may be common and available everywhere, but Middleton Rare is not available everywhere .... it's in a totally different league.

If he's a football fan, you could send a letter to the manager of the team he supports and see if the manager will write a congratulations letter to him (I know some people have done this) on his wedding day.

If this is what you are talking about when you say Midleton Rare as there is no plain Middleton this is the entry common level one.

It is not that rare or special Something like a bottle of normal Jameson from the old Bow Street Distillery, or Crested Ten from the old Bow street distillery.

Green spot 10 year old would be another really good option.

Like I said Midleton is good but it is not unique or special and I am guessing that wedding day gifts are all about something different and special

What about a pen with his name engraved on it?

Silly question but do I get my wife to be a gift too? Probable should start a new topic but a yes/no would be appreciated. I thought but a diamond ring would have been enough
Many thanks

Dear Thomas,

YES!!

Fattes

Thomas ; Apparently custom dictates that we have to get the Ladies a pressie but a present for the Grom is optional!
