We are getting married next month and I'd love to give a gift to my husband on the day.

I already know he's spent a lot of money on me for something had been lusting after for some time.

I unfortunately I don't have the budget to spend the same amount on him, but can stretch to £250.

He loves his watches, and fragrance.

I bought him an expensive automatic last year which he wears most days, and I'm not too sure a £250 watch would be that special.

I could afford a big bottle of his favourite Tom Ford fragrance, but wondering if its a bit of a lazy gift?

My wife is into art. I commissioned a painting of our wedding venue by a local artist she likes.

It was similar in cost to your budget.

Nice idea - my late Father in Law did the same thing.

Surely the fact it’s from you on your wedding day will mean more to him than the value.

Look to get him something to keep? My girlfriend got me an antique pocketwatch for one of my birthdays, I’ve worn it once but it’s still one of if not my favourite gift I’ve ever had smile

Probably cost around your budget too.

Some very nice engraved cufflinks perhaps? Small, stylish and personal.

Not massive, but I think for that budget you want something that comes across as personal (and which will last for years).

How about a proper razor (and associated bit & bobs). £250.00 would get you some decent kit, and is something he will potentially use daily.

A fantastic 5,000th post from this forum user.

Definitely lingerie. Fragrance and trinkets are highly forgettable.

The day hasn’t been and gone yet. It’s in 3 days time!

Lingerie would have been great. I bought some amazing bits from Bluebella but he happened to walk through the door just as I was trying them on.

He was surprised and it seemed like a good one but it’s now been done ...

He is a bearded man so the decent shave kit wouldn’t be any good unfortunately.

He loves tools, he’s a designer and craftsman but it means he has decent bits to suit him already.

He didn’t have a multitool, but our son will be getting him one for Christmas...

Congratulations and good luck for 3 days time thumbup

My advice would be to blow him until his eyes roll back so far that he can see his own pituitary gland. Not only will he not be expecting it ever again (clause 5.2 of the wedding vows - it’s illegal after the big day) but he will talk about it to his mates forever and you will be famous.
