gift for you FI

So I haven't given this to much thought, but I am curious...

What are you giving to your FI the day of your wedding?  I'd love to hear all of your ideas!

Re: gift for you FI

  • We bought new furniture for our living room as a gift to each other.  It may not sound that exciting, but I'm very excited to finally get the hand-me-down couches out of my house!

  • we didn't exchange anything.  We had just bought our first place and were leaving for a great honeymoon the day after.  We didn't see a need to exchange gifts on top of that.

  • We're of the thinking that we are getting the best gifts--each other!! Plus we are putting a lot of money into our wedding ourselves, so honestly it's likely not even going to be feasible.

    Maybe after the wedding we'll do something--one of the ideas we talked about were official Pirates baseball jerseys with our names on the back.  The way MLB does it if there are two players on a team with the same last name is put the first initials as well. So if we got jerseys, we'd get L. LastName & J. LastName.

  • We haven't decided, but if we do do gifts, I want it to be something that lasts, like quality jewelry (vs the cheap stuff I usually wear!). I really want to get him the Tag Heuer watch he's been coveting for a long time, but it's really $$$, so we will see what my bonus is like this year!

    On the flip side, he is paying for most of the honeymoon, so I feel like that is a great gift for me, even if it isn't something that "lasts".

    I think cuff links and watches are pretty common, as they fit the whole 'use for a long time' thing.
  • I got him a cigar humidor with 20 cigars from thompson cigars and Im getting a personalized picture in a frame with our name on street signs so it would look like this
