Gift for DP - but what?

14 replies

Surprise · 06/04/2010 21:51

Getting in married in 8 weeks' time (yipee!!!). I would really like to get DP a little something, but can't think of anything very original. We're heading straight to London after the wedding, so I have planned to take champagne, choc gingers (his favourite sweets) and a playlist of some of his favourite music on my mp3 player. But I would really like to get him something special, as a memento. He's definitely not into cufflinks/jewellery. Does anyone have any bright ideas please? TIA.

PS Did I mention how excited I am?????!!!!!

A framed print that has been personalised?

I'll keep thinking.

Oh, and many congratulations in advance.

Something like this?

A copy of the paper from the day you were born, and the day he was born? Together with a copy of the same paper from the day of your wedding?

I made my DP a photo album of our life so far together. I dug out a load of old photos, and got some baby photos, I included a load of soppy cards and letter's we'd written and made a little 'story so far'. I've since added to it with baby scans and things from the kids.

Also bought him very posh pants and socks - to make sure he had clean ones on the day

I gave my dh a gold pocket watch. An antique watch would be very cool gift, depends on the man though.
Bet you are excited!

A GPS?
Satellite radio for house and home?
Tickets for concert or event he'd enjoy?

I got DH sheet music of our first dance, signed by the band and framed. Not very expensive but he loved it.

gtamom · 06/08/2010 07:52

Coupons for little nice things that he'd enjoy, that do not cost anything like,nights out with the boys, full body massage (by you of course) stuff like that?

Oh I like that Pauline!

eBay is good for things like that as is 991.com
For lovely gifts try Not on the high street

I bought DH an Acer tree in a huge pot - it has moved with us and grown as our family has.

I have bought my H2B one of those family name meanings signs, so it has our married name on it, the family crest and the meaning/orgin of the name. I have also got hime a silver love heart as he loves shiny silver hence our wedding colours our white and silver, I managed to find a site that sells them but you can have them personalised on the back, so have put our names and wedding date on the back.
