Traditional Gifts

• Jewelry is the most traditional gift. An engraved set of cuff links, wristwatch or pocket watch is something he will wear down the aisle and use for years after. Engrave the back with both sets of your initials or your wedding date.
  
  Purchase a sturdy, attractive leather wallet he can use for years. Slip a short love note or poem inside before presenting it. Or give him an engraved money clip. Initials are the most commonly engraved but a favorite line from a poem or book you both enjoy is also appropriate.
  
  

Practical Gifts

• Give him something he will use on your honeymoon, like an expensive pair of sunglasses, a luxurious new bathrobe, or monogrammed golf balls if you are going to a resort.
  
  For techno lovers, purchase an MP3 player, video recorder or camera, all of which can be used on the honeymoon and after you return home. Load the MP3 player with your special song or other romantic music. Have a friend take your picture on the camera or record yourself telling him you love him on the video recorder.
  
  

Budget Gifts

• It isn't the price tag that matters but the emotions behind the exchange. Give him a monogrammed handkerchief, lightly spritzed with your perfume, to put in his pocket during the ceremony.
  
  Give him a book of poetry or a book written by a favorite author you share. Write a brief message conveying your feelings inside the cover. Or write him your own poem or short verse. Frame it in an attractive frame for him to display in his office. Write a love letter on nice paper. Roll it into a tube and tie closed with a ribbon. Tie the ribbon to the neck of a favorite wine.
