Gifts for My Groom

Gifts for My Groom

Initially, Mr. Spring Roll and I agreed not to exchange wedding day gifts, as a way to save money. However, I couldn’t resist the excitement of an exchange, and admitted so to Mr. Spring Roll. So, the exchange was a go, but there was one little problem: I had no idea what to get my groom.

You see, Mr. Spring Roll is a man who has everything. What could I possibly get for the man who has everything? I could go *NSYNC on him, and bring him my love, but I can’t wrap up my love. So, I did the next best thing, and made him a photo book with 100 reasons why I love him.

The book is lovey-dovey and great, but I also wanted to give him something to wear on our big day. Mr. Spring Roll doesn’t wear jewelry, or funky socks, so I got him cufflinks. I didn’t just get him any old cufflinks; I got him camera cufflinks (Mr. Spring Roll is a concert photographer. Cute, huh?).

And last but not least, what I’m sure will be his favorite gift, orange Tic Tacs. No, not just one container, but 120 containers of his favorite treat. Silly, I know, but you can’t imagine how much he loves those little two-calorie mints.

What do you plan to give your groom as gifts?

I’m torn on this! My FI doesn’t really like receiving gifts I think it makes him feel sheepish for some reason! So I think we’ll just exchange cards on the big day…but I wish I could do something cute…those cufflinks are to DIE for!!

Those are awesome!
I plan on giving my future hubs a really nice camera. He loves to take pictures as well, but he is lacking in the good camera department to really be as awesome as he wants to be! We plan on giving each other the gifts early so he can play with it, and use it for the big day.

I took something he already had and made it mo’ better. He had some foreign coins and stamps collected during his childhood that were really crappily framed, so I had them redone by an archival framing company. The perk: I already know he likes ‘em.

Awesome, i love that book idea! I got cufflinks for the groom and groomsmen, plus our dads and my brother who will be the officiant. Those cameras are too cute, and the tic tacs are a great idea too! I think he’ll love everything you give him

I love the book! The cufflinks are super fun! I want to get my groom cufflinks, hopefully pre-wedding since he doesn’t have any yet.
