Wonderful gift ideas for your wedding day (for him)

By Jamie Lynn Hendersen

Your wedding day is one that you will not forget. It is traditional that the bride and groom buy each other gifts as a way of celebrating the beginning of their new life together. However, women often like gifts that shimmer and shine. Men on the other hand generally prefer a gift that is more practical and that they will be able to use on a regular basis. So this leaves the question of what to buy your groom for that special day.

Now you may be feeling pressure to find the perfect present. Don't worry though, it's easier than you think. For example, if your husband loves music and loves to run, an ipod with embossed holder will be something he'll get a lot of mileage out of (bad pun I know). It's well known that athletes that work out to music work out harder and longer. And not only will he be healthy, he'll be easy on the eyes to look at too!

If your soon to be husband has the need to wear suits and ties, then you may want to consider purchasing a special pair of cufflinks. The cufflinks come in a variety of different finishes and styles. If your give your groom cufflinks as a wedding gift, every time he puts them on he will think of you and your wedding day.

If your guy cooks, you are a lucky girl! Beyond getting well fed, it also gives you a variety of gift ideas. Maybe you'll get him a very nice grilling set. Or maybe you'll get him one of those very expensive outdoor grill/kitchens if you can afford it and you have a home to park it at. Guys love grilling.

I went more formal when I got my husband his groom's gift. I gave him a high end Seiko watch. The thing that is nice about watches is that you can find one certain to fit his lifestyle and personality while still fitting your budget. Consider engraving it with a short phrase and it will be your little secret.

Weddings tend to be steeped in tradition and the bride and groom gift is part of that tradition. Personalization is a great way to make any gift special. Finding personalized gifts be it wallets, watches, money clips or something a bit different is much easier than it used to be. You can even order personalized gifts online.

You'll get many good ideas just by thinking of all your fiance's favorite activities. Select a present that has utility for his lifestyle and he'll love it for sure. Regardless of what you end up giving your groom, he'll appreciate that you thought about him.
