    Wedding Gift for husband?

    Did anyone get their man a gift for their wedding?

    I would like to get him a little something. Any ideas?

    I went a little bit OTT with my pressie for DH. I got him a FPV F6 Tornado ute. He got it a month before the wedding, he was told to just go into the dealership to pick a colour for the ute (base model) that we were going to buy - he was unaware it was the top of the range performance vehicle until it was sitting in the dealership nearly ready for him to pick up - I took him in on the Saturday before it got the detailing striping done - his face was priceless when he realised what it was. He no longer has it, we got rid of it to get another one, then he sold the other one just after xmas.

    Ok then... some other things I have done for him...

    - I also bought him a car!!! His dream car - a Subaru WRX STi
    - I had a photo book made at officeworks of our whole time together - so 3 years worth of pics! It cost about $130.
    - I got an engraving on his wedding ring which he didn't see until just before the wedding
    - He's nuts about the Sopranos so I bought some signed merch from their official site
    - Ditto with Metallica stuff - I got a signed photo which cost a mint ($800 if I remember correctly!)

    What sort of stuff does he like?

    Bottle of whiskey wouldn't be lame - but it wouldn't have the wow factor.

    What about an iPhone or a cool wizz-bang gadget?

    I got my DH a nice pen, which I engraved with his initials - I didn't give it to him until at the wedding ceremony, when our minister offered it to him to sign the registry and my sister said 'Oh look, its got your initials engraved on it.'

    I also made up a gift bag with lots of little things in it like...
    - 5c so we always had some money
    - A book of jokes so we always had laughs
    - An eraser so we can erase our mistakes and start again
    ... and so on!

    Maybe get some wines to put down for anniversaries, birthdays etc.
    Get 1 or 2 mixed dozens that will be mature at differant times.

    I got DH a gold bullion coin from the Perth Mint - the price of gold has gone up quite a bit since then . It's an investment piece, technically he could sell it and of course it is stamped the year we were married. He's awful to buy presents for so I thought a piece of solid gold would be nice!

    Another option - my sister got a star named after her DH when they got married.
