A gift for your guy on your wedding day

By Marilyn Andersen

After months of planning your wedding day is almost here. One of the special things brides and grooms do for one another is to buy a wedding gift. This is typically exchanged the evening of the wedding day. If you are a gal looking to buy a wedding gift for your guy you may be looking for some good ideas.

At first glance, it might seem difficult to choose that perfect wedding gift for your groom. However, with some simple thought and planning, it may just be easier than you once thought. For instance, if your soon to be husband carries a lot of items in his pocket, such as keys, change, pocket knife etc. then a keepsake box may be just what he needs. You can purchase a wooden keepsake box where he can put his personal items in each night. If you would like to the make the gift even more special, you can consider having it personalized. You can simply choose a special saying that means something to the two of you or have your names and wedding date engraved on the box.

Cuff-links, like owning your own tuxedo isn't something that gets used everyday but sure are handy to have when you need them. And better yet, you don't outgrow cuff-links just because you've put on a few pounds over the years. Give him cuff-links for use on your big day and he'll think of your wedding day every time he wears them.

If your guy cooks, you are a lucky girl! Beyond getting well fed, it also gives you a variety of gift ideas. Maybe you'll get him a very nice grilling set. Or maybe you'll get him one of those very expensive outdoor grill/kitchens if you can afford it and you have a home to park it at. Guys love grilling.

I went more formal when I got my husband his groom's gift. I gave him a high end Seiko watch. The thing that is nice about watches is that you can find one certain to fit his lifestyle and personality while still fitting your budget. Consider engraving it with a short phrase and it will be your little secret.

The important thing is not to stress over a gift for your groom. Enjoy this tradition as part of the wedding process and also consider getting a personalized gift. There are several great on-line stores that do personalization without additional charge.

You'll get many good ideas just by thinking of all your fiance's favorite activities. Select a present that has utility for his lifestyle and he'll love it for sure. Regardless of what you end up giving your groom, he'll appreciate that you thought about him.
