Groom Gift- "For" Box

KimmyJay2012

Hi ladies,
I am so thankful for the July 2012 board even if I am not a regular poster.  It is such a nice place for support!

I am two weeks away (ahh!) and down to the wire as far as planning goes.  Right now I'm working on my gift for my fiance.   I am putting together a "for" box for my him.  I've seen this idea on the boards before but I can't find the post where it was mentioned.  I came up with a few ideas (and I'm trying to keep it fairly inexpensive) but I need to come up with more "for's" to add in.
 
Here's what I have so far:
chapstick: for our first kiss
beer/alcohol: for calming your nerves
socks: for not getting cold feet
watch (this is a big maybe so I want to plan for possibly not doing it): for getting to the church on time
tissues: for happy tears
Mints...to ensure a fresh kiss
Ring Pop...in case you forget the essentials

I'd like to add some more items if anyone has suggestions.  Thank you!

I'm doing this too! I did a toy car to zoom through the bad times, a jar of spice to spice up our lives, and a matchbook to keep the flame alive... a bunch of others plus the ones you have too! i was fun putting it together!

This is such a cute idea! I'm trying to think of some more practical things he could use. What about a lint roller? Safety pins? A comb? What do boys use to get ready??

Oh I love this idea! I think I'm going to steal it.

Not sure of your religious background but maybe a cross to remember who brought you together.

I like the spice bottle & the matchbook ideas.

That's an awesome idea! I actually think you have enough stuff especially if you add the stuff julyxoxo recommended. I think with gifts like this they become less meaningful as you add more items. But that's just my opinion-- for Christmas this year I gave FI gift that were meant to represent the things we like to do/places we've travelled together, and he loved it, but the gifts that were more of a stretch kindof flopped.
