When it comes to weddings, sometimes it\u2019s easy to forget that it\u2019s not just the bride who likes a little romance \u2013 a surprise gift for the groom on the wedding morning can set the mood for the day and make him feel loved and appreciated. Here are some of our top picks for grooms\u2019 gifts!<\/span><\/p>\n

Seeing as you\u2019ll be wearing your beautiful new dress, and likely new jewellery and shoes, it\u2019s only fair that your groom gets a little something special on the wedding day<\/a> \u2013 apart from the gift of marrying you, of course! There are traditional options for the groom\u2019s gift the morning of the wedding, but never underestimate the appeal of something small but meaningful to your man.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buying something that reflects his hobbies is always a good idea \u2013 if he\u2019s mad about football, why not buy him a season ticket to watch his favourite team play? If he loves a certain band, buy him tickets to see their live concert. It may seem obvious, but these touches will show your husband-to-be just what you mean to him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your gift doesn\u2019t need to cost the earth, either. Your man will most likely be feeling a little jittery before the ceremony, so why not send him a bottle of whiskey and a box of cigars to share with his groomsmen and to calm his nerves? Or, have cooked breakfasts delivered to the hotel suite for the guys to enjoy while they get ready in the morning. Whatever you send, accompany it with a handwritten letter telling him how much you can\u2019t wait to see him \u2013 spritz a little of your signature scent on the paper and he\u2019ll be feeling romantic in no time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditional touches<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want something traditional that you know your groom will love, then you can\u2019t go far wrong with a watch. If he\u2019s an old-school type, then a pocket watch would be a great choice \u2013 particularly if you engrave it with his initials or the date of your wedding. For the more modern groom, a wrist watch is the perfect gift for the morning of the wedding. Attach a note with the time of the ceremony (along the lines of \u2018See you at\u00a01pm<\/span><\/span>!\u2019) for a personal touch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A hip flask is another traditional groom\u2019s gift \u2013 we particularly like this modern version from David-Louise Designs. You can also engrave it with your groom\u2019s name and a personal message \u2013\u00a0 wrap it with a bottle of your man\u2019s favourite spirit for a gift he\u2019ll cherish.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many brides will buy their grooms cufflinks for the big day, as they\u2019re a gift that can be worn on the wedding day and for many years to come \u2013 plus they\u2019re easy to personalise! Engrave them with your wedding date and he\u2019ll never forget your anniversary!<\/span><\/p>\n

Thoughtful artwork<\/span><\/p>\n

If you and your husband-to-be are equally house-proud, then getting something that you can display for all your house guests to see is a sweet idea. We love this framed record of your first dance song \u2013 this would be a particularly great gift if your man is a music buff.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the honeymoon<\/span><\/p>\n

If your man already has everything for the wedding day sorted<\/a>, why not think ahead and buy him a gift he can use on your honeymoon? A pair of designer sunglasses would work for a beach honeymoon or a ski break, and luxurious toiletries in a leather washbag will always come in useful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to treat your groom to something a little saucy, then you should definitely consider booking in for a boudoir photoshoot. Companies do sexy shoots especially for brides, and package the photographs in a gorgeous keepsake album for you and your groom. Leave it in his bedroom with a note reading \u2018Meet me at the altar!\u2019 and he\u2019s sure to be feeling ready for the honeymoon!<\/span><\/p>\n

The little things<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already got your groom a present, or you\u2019ve agreed that you won\u2019t spend a lot of money on each other, then why not choose one of these little added extras just to show him you\u2019re thinking about him?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
