Grooms gift! Help!!

Hello all!
I need help deciding on a gift for my fiance to give him on our wedding day!  He doesn't wear jewelry, so a watch or bracelet is out of the question, and he already has cuff links that gather dust on his dresser.  I thought about getting him his tie (boring, right?) but then he bought his tie when he bought his suit for the wedding.  My other idea was a camera- but he usually uses his Blackberry to take photos so.... we made a deal to stay under $200. 
Any ideas?  I really want it to be something he will use. 
Thanks!

  • What are his hobbies?

    Do you know your honeymoon destination?   I arranged for baseball tickets at our honeymoon destination because by darling is a mad baseball fan. Of course, this was a birthday present because we decided to skip  bride & groom presents.  His birthday was two weeks before our wedding.

    His birthday is 4 days before our wedding!!  We are going to Italy for our honeymoon.  We had the conversation about not exchanging gifts- we are taking an expensive enough honeymoon not to mention the expensive wedding/reception!  And after our conversation he says "Ok, we won't buy gifts.  But you know I'm going to buy you something anyway."  Sooooo I am back to the drawing board!
    He loves the Yankees, British comedys, comic books (he calls them graphic novels lol) golf, travel........  He loves our kitty but I can't get him another cause we can't have more than one.  I was thinking of paying for him to get a tattoo.  He talks about getting one sometimes......  can you tell I am desperate?!?!?

  • My FH is a mechanic, and I am going to replace his "Mechanic's belt".  It is a belt that is specially designed without a buckle.  It costs about $20.  Why don't you look into that, then give him a "coupon" in a card you give to him on your wedding day for the tattoo when he chooses to get it?  That may be easier on you.

    The website is www.mechanicsbelt.com.

  • Yankees tickets, obviously... 
    British comedy DVD collection
    A rare comic book framed
    A new golf bag, or pay to go golfing one day (you 2 + 9 or 18 holes + the cart if you don't want to walk) 
    And as far as travel, what about a weekend B&B nearby? It'll feel like an adventure even if you're within 30 miles of your home!

  • Thanks for the awesome ideas!  And I don't know why I didn't think of some of them lol.  I guess I was trapped in the "my sister got her husband a watch + my fiance wouldn't wear a watch = no idea what to buy". 

    Thanks again!

  • My Fiance is a golfer as well and also already has cuff links, watches, etc he doesn't wear, so I plan on getting him a quality iron or putter (I'll have a buddy help me pick out the actual club) then have it engraved with our wedding date :)
  • My guy has plenty of cufflinks but I had a pair engraved with a simple "5.29" for him to wear on our wedding day or to keep in his rotation. 

    Maybe a really nice engraved valet key for his car? 

    I like the idea of a golf club or even a framed photo of you to keep at the office?

    My honey and I haven't discussed whether or not we'll do gifts but I've been playing around with the idea of sending him and his groomsmen out golfing the day before the wedding. This way it'll keep him and his goofball friends out of my hair while we're decorating and it's one of his favorite things to do. I know he'll apprecaite being out with 'the guys' one last time :)

  • Hey Ladies,

    I love reading these to get ideas! I'm getting married next Saturday and still don't have a gift for my FH!! He is impossible to shop for, his biggest hobby is mountain biking but he's got all the gear and I got him a great mountain bike for his bday last year. He's totally not a jewelry/watch/cufflinks kinda guy. I totally like the idea of something for the honeymoon, we're going to moorea (tahiti), no ideas yet tho....any advice/suggestions would be great!
