Groom's gift

[MS_JanDel]

^a car is a good gift sis! But pakiramdaman mo din si hubby kung okay ba sakania na magkacar kayo agad. hehe. H2b also wanted a car but we decided to get a condo first then car na. So hindi ko na naconsider yung car. 

Mga sis what gifts would you want or would give worth 20k? hahaahah Sabi kasi ni h2b yun lang daw budget namin!

[Tincywincy]

^ naku sis, ramdam na ramdam ko. hahaha ang dami nyang parinig about Mazda 2, pero sabi ko relax lang sya at baka by then may mas magandang lumabas. sa house kasi sis, set na sya na magrrent muna kame for the first 2 years dun sa malapit sa office nila eh. but IDK, besides ako yung di pa sure kung kaya ko mag DP. 

sis IMO, it would depend sa mga trip ni h2b mo. ma gadget ba sya sis? into photography? travel? mashopping?

[exquisitegem]

^If you planned to purchase a car talaga, go for it. But in my opinion din, this is something you have to discuss together sana. Kasi when we bought our car, nagdecide kami na lakihan yung DP, para mababa na lang yung amortization and interest.
Pero kung feeling mo naman magiging masaya sya for that surprise, go lang sis! Alamin mo na lang anong variant ng mazda 2 yung gusto nya, anong color, etc. ☺️

[Tincywincy]

^ thank you sis! I will definitely fish for info on how much would be his ideal DP once I feel I have enough savings ulet for that. tee hee! pero this is wishful thinking pa talaga as of now as long as wala pa kameng exact figures ng magagastos on the major suppliers. ang plan B ko is bracelet.

may suggestion ba kayo sis kung saan okay bumili ng bracelet for men? yung hindi Charriol sana. parang kasing puro chain type bracelets lang nakkita ko saka charriol..?

[LilaFowler]

How much do you want to spend? Gold or silver? Tiffany and Bulgari has nice jewellery for men.

If my tira pa sa savings ko after this I might get him a Tag Carrera. Lagi ko nakikita tinigtinan nya

Ako sis, mahilig kasi ako magluto so siguro mga something to be used for cooking? Okay din sakin plane/concert tickets or fitness center membership.
Wala pa din ako final gift for him haha

[lots-o]

^you can try sis tiffany and co or cartier sis.

Im planning to give hubby a phantom mavic para we can use it while we travel or diving lesson dream niya kasi yung matapos yun he only tried the beginner lesson, baka pwede na namin isabay sa honeymoon namin kasi weeks din yun na lesson. I suggest dig into more personal stuff para mas maapreciate niya. I wanted him to feel na kahit married na kami he can still have his dreams come true by supporting him or encouraging them.

sis, for a bracelet siguro 30k pwede na. thank you sa suggestion sis, I saw one Tiffany bracelet that he'll surely like!  I also checked the Tag Carrera, nice yung watch ha!

thank you sis! wow that's a nice gift. giving him something that used to be his dream is probably one of the best things you can give as wedding present

[MS_JanDel]

Sis Tincywincy go sis! basta ba keriboom boom at alam mong hindi mapantayan ang sayang mabibigay mo kay hubs. hehe. Sis hindi siya mahilig sa jewelry, kaya I can't give him a watch.  Siguro something for travel or for everyday.

Sis exquisitegem ako din sis wala pa. Pero iniisip ko pa din yung PS4. Sabi niya gusto niya din dw ng GoPro para sa travels namin since mahilig din kami bumyahe. yay sana makaisip tayo ng perfect gift sis!
Ang sabi ko kay h2b kung hindi kaya yung macbook, okay na sakin necklace nalang or earings. hahaah

[BBB21]

Hi mga sis! Any more ideas other than watch? I'm actuallg eyeing on it since it's staple to have it for guys pero nag-iisip ako ng mas worthy pag-ipunan for him. Thanks to this thread medyo cnconsider ko na rin yung PS4! hehe.

[princessshayera]

Hi Sis BBB21, I think better ang watch than PS4. Yung watch he can wear till he's old and gray pero yung PS4 mga after 2 years luma na. Although sympre mas excited siya sa PS4 for now since cool siya haha. That's what I think lang ha . Ako I'm thinking of giving him a Rolex pero pinag iisipan ko pa. I want something na he can keep kasi for a long time and pag nakikita niya it reminds him of our wedding.

[LilaFowler]

Here's my list of pwedeng gift for groom
- watch
- jewellery
- pen (mont blanc etc)
- cuff links

[MS_JanDel]

Sis BBB21 ako din sis naghahanap ng ibang alternative sa watch kaya naisip ko yung PS4. Antay pa tayo ng ibang suggestions mula sa mga sis natin.

Sis princessshayera gusto ko din una watch but h2b don't really like jewelry and accessories so baka hindi rin niya maenjoy. He even chose a simple wedding ring kasi hindi naman daw siya maalahas so he might not really love a watch. I want to give him something he really like and he would enjoy using. 

[BBB21]

^Ay sabagay may point ka sis. Sige I'll think about it 👍🏼 Aside from Rolex ano pa ba okay na brand ng watch? 😊

[lots-o]

Same are omega, rado, hublot
If rolex is too expensive you can try tag heuer, panerai, iwc (this is below rolex)
below brands Luminox, tissot.

[princessshayera]

@Ms_Jandel Same tayo sis, hindi din maalahas or ma watch is h2b. Yung ring nga namin sa kanya simple lang yung sa akin ma bling haha. Pero I was thinking sympre kahit sa wedding day namin he has something fancy to wear... My h2b is into real estate pero alangan naman bigyan ko siya ng condo noh.

@BBB21, I'm not sure din...I really wanted a Rolex pero wala 'datung' hahaha. Maybe Omega or IWC? I haven't really had a chance to check pa sa mall pero I wanted something with value that he can keep and wear pag may parties.

[BBB21]

^Exactly sis! Parang over over over over budget na ko pag Rolex 😂

[meixin]

I bought my h2b swarovski crystal na cufflinks. Malayo nga lang sa budget na 20k yun. Di naman kasi magiging ganun kamahal ang cufflinks..

[stella021817]

@princessshayera and @BBB21: Not sure what your budget is, but you might want to try Omega. I bought my fiance an Omega Speedmaster Pro as an engagement present. I wanted something that would "last" and that he could pass down to our future kids... That particular watch has been around since the 1960s, so it's a classic
As far as I know though, in terms of an investment, Rolex watches are still the best in retaining their value.

@Tincywincy: I think surprising him with the car on your wedding day is such a cute idea!! Like others mentioned, I think it's important to discuss big purchases like that, but since you've already done that, I think he'll really appreciate the surprise and effort

For our wedding, we agreed to not exchange gifts anymore, since we're already spending so much on the wedding and honeymoon. Instead, we'll exchange letters that we can read while getting ready (since we won't be doing personalized vows).

Sis stella021817 we are thinking of the same thing. Since we thought na we'd like to skip the personal vows in the Church, baka sa SDE nalang namin yun gawin. So letters in a nice stationary or card na heartfelt ang laman before we say I do is more than enough.

 The best gift na for us that day yung isa't isa haha. Cheesy!

Pero totoo, sa dami ng gastos natin including the honeymoon, we prefer to give each other gifts on our 1st wedding anniversary.
