Wedding present for Groom help

So I get married in just over a week. Had saved £3k separately to buy my future DH a watch but he couldn’t find one he really liked to warrant spending that much money on it. He told me to leave the watch and he’ll get a nice one another time.

I was just thinking of getting something small like personalised cuff links but I’ve just found out he is getting me a £500 pair of diamond earrings.

I have no idea what to buy him for a similar sort of value. Please help me with ideas?

Does he wear a three piece? Pocket-watches are coming back in these days and you could get a gorgeous one for 500.

He is wearing a 3 piece to the wedding so that’s an idea. I’m not sure if it’s really him though, he’s a very plain kind of guy lol

Ah right. Pocket watch and wedding ring is the only 'jewellery' my DH will wear :D

How about something related to his favourite hobby instead? A wedding gift doesn't have to be jewellery or an accessory.

I got my DH a lovely wallet from Aspinal of London. Maybe something like that or a fancy leather wash bag?

How about a really good pair of sunglasses?

A weekend away for you both somewhere he would really like to go. Or tickets and overnight stay to a band or hobby event?
I know it's not sentimental or something to 'keep' but my OH would much prefer this type of thing.

Designer cuff links and belt to wear on the day?

Even if he doesn't want a posh watch, is he sporty? Because one of the more expensive Garmins might be a good choice. The sort that people secretly covet, but can't quite justify upgrading to.

I bought my DH an engraved pocket watch

What about a tie pin

I think I might have it... a Mont Blanc pen.

Any thoughts?

I always wanted a mont blanc with a leather notebook.
Or a 6 month anniversary weekend away?

BlackcurrantJamontoast · 27/05/2019 19:37

Honestly? Is this a thing? Don't buy something just for the sake of it. My Dh has a few mont blanc pens- classic city leaving gift- but he doesn't like or use them really as they are too thin.

Yeah I understand what you’re saying, that’s why we didn’t get the watch. It was a lot of money for the sake of spending it, he didn’t really want a specific watch. My future DH has spoke about getting a pen a few times actually, so I’m confident he’ll like it and it’ll get used. I’m just not sure which one to get.
