Gifts for grooms

Looking for some wedding gifts for my groom to be....

He doesn't drink or wear jewelry.  I've ruled out cufflinks, moneyclip, watch, etc.
He likes the outdoors, camping, hiking, etc - but he already has a few pocket knives so I sort of feel like that's been done.

What are you getting your groom? Any unique fun ideas?

    stuck in the same situation... i have NO idea. i was thinking about cufflinks that are made from old bullets.. he loves to shoot guns. another one was to get him a nice chain- cause he cant find his old one.

    i'm really not sure!

    I got him a watch - he helped pick it out, he's super picky with his watch - and will be surprising him with cufflinks.

    I got mine Harley Davidson cuff links.

    I'm also thinking I might buy him a poster which has the entire Bible printed on it from here (<---link).

    That, or some other accessory that he needs for the bike, which he'll appreciate more than anything else I could get him.

    That, or the expensive whiskey he loves and some nice cigars.

    I'm doing a pocket watch because my FH's suit has a vest. Maybe something he would like but wouldn't necessarily buy himself, like concert/sports tickets, or something like that.

    Tabletop Donkey Kong arcade game, vintage 1981.  It was his favorite toy growing up and he's not been able to find one since he was a kid.  Score for me.

    I'm working a deal on a softball bat.  Not that he needs another one, he already has 9, but there are new rules and they have to have certain stickers on them and only 1 of his bats has the correct sticker.

    @shaylagirl um. I'm totally stashing that link in my back pocket for a future gift for FH. That's amazing.

    @lplions; That site has so many AMAZING books on it.  :)

    I'm making a mass order from them; The Great Gatsby for my MOH, The Last Unicorn for me (WHAT?!  I need a gift!  And I'm saving on shipping!) and The Bible for FI.  Yeah, that should be enough.  :)

    @shaylagirl I think I need to do some more browsing. Are you going to get him the full print of The Bible, or one of the smaller ones?

    @lplions; the full print one.  I figure, why not.

    I think I am getting mine either ray bans or oakleys.  He needs new sunglasses for the honeymoon.

    We agreed not to get each other gifts...we are however going to write each other a "love" letter.

    We had said we weren't getting each other anything either.  Then the other day he happened to drop it in that he had ended up getting me something.  Ha.

    Anyways, update...I spent the weekend trying to figure something out. I ended up going with a cooking class for when we get back from our honeymoon.  It's the kind of thing we would like to do together.  And I thought it was a good compromise from not doing anything at all.

    I got my groom to be cufflinks as well.  One says "I love you"  and the other " i know".  Fiance is  such a star wars nerd.  Every time I tell him I love him.  He always replies with I know.  It wasn't too expensive but it will mean something to him.

    OP, if he likes camping and already has a few knives, what about a collectible knife that you could have engraved.  If he's very outdoorsy, I would highly recommend a Kabar knife, they are made in the USA, come with a forever guarantee, and they are also the knives the military uses.  Guys I know that have knives, rank Kabar as the best quality.

    I wasn't planning on getting FI anything. I kind of feel our honeymoon is our "gift" to each other...

    We are not exchanging gifts, but I did get him something anyway. I took four pennies with special years (his birth year, my birth year, year we met, and year we get married), drilled a hole in them and put them on a keychain. I plan to add to this when we have babies.

    This sounds like a great idea with the pennies!!!!
