1) That is the watch I got my fiance (not from amazon obviously) I would like to get him a just a little something else (about 500 dollars) for him for a wedding gift. He likes to golf but I just got him a nice set of clubs for holidays and he already belongs to a golf club and driving range. He likes video game but I got him a PS3 and Xbox 360, games, and accessories through out the year. I am out of ideas. He is a 29 year old pharmacy consultant, Indian by heritage. Any help would be great. Also do you think he will care for the watch?

Ok next, my bridesmaids. I am taking them out Bliss 57 spa before the wedding and I am paying for their hair, make up, and nails/pedicures for the wedding. I got them diamond earrings and matching pendants, also a LV bag for each.
I would like to fill them with something though just so its not like an empty purse thats personal for each of them

First is my MOH, my brothers wife, she is 24 year old accountant for J&J (she is filled with bath and body products because of this), she is kind of a hippie at heart. She doesn't wear make up. This is her bag, so you can work with the size

Second is my BM who is my 15 year old cousin. She is in state choir, likes to travel around europe with her school. She listens to mostly indie rock music

And third is my 15 year old other cousin. She is kind of off beat, like punk music and she likes to shop at like hot topic but she also is in fashion design academy. (her mother mentioned she likes the bright colors)

No gift cards. About 200 each I have spend.
WRONG MOH PURSE sorry I was just clicking on links and not looking

That is the MOH purse
Tracey to be honest I am not terribly close to any of them but I don't really have any friends and my fiance had three so I needed to match . So just for them to take time out of their lifes and stand for me I feel so lucky that they are that nice so I really want to show my appreciation, not to mention it was left over of my budget.
Its not a load of crap. My family friend works at an LV store so I got them for 300 off, and my family owns jewerly stores in NYC so the jewlery was really inexpensive.

    1) What to get a man who has everything already? I ask myself this every year for Christmas and my husbands birthday, so I am of no help to you! But, if that watch is his style Im sure he will love it and what else do you need to get him?
    2) Sounds like they are getting a few girlie things already- jewelry, spa, and bags. So if you want to fill the bags, how about just some fun stuff like a book you choose for them specially, a mini roller massage for traveling, crossword puzzles if they like that, iPod… I dont know, Im just thinking of things you might toss in your bag as you run out the door, thats not makeup and beauty stuff. Although, the 15 yr olds might like makeup. Those Givency eyeshadow cubes are great, I think theyre called Prisme or something.

    MY GOD! Do you need another BM? Will travel…lol

    I think that you don't have to put ANYTHING in the bags…if they are looking for something, they are greedy.

    All that stuff, is really out of the ordinary already.

    YOU have gone above and beyond the average bride…don't over due it (?).

    I would just have them gift wrapped beautifully and present them like that…

    I would love to see your wedding pictures!

    First, can I just say WOW. I really think you've gone above and beyond for the gifts. The watch is stunning and he's sure to love it. If I were you, I'd only add something sentimental, like a note or ticket stub from your first date.

    As for the bridesmaids gifts, I think you've already done more than you need to. Most brides consider the 'spa day' to be the bridal party gift. The purses are gorgeous and I'm sure they'll love them.

    Good luck! :o )

    Why do I get the feeling this is a load of crap?

    Okay so you can add me as a bridesmaid as well =)! But seriously, what you have gotten is more then enough. If you feel the need to add something, don't over do it (as you've already spent an arm and a leg on them)…get them something that is meaningful from you. As far as the gift for your husband, the watch is beautiful and if you want to add something else (again that is meaningful)…that would work best. Good luck and congrats!

    1) I think the watch is nice I am sure he will like it. As for something else…. It sounds like you have him covered! :)
    Maybe you could write him a letter just saying how excited you are to marry him and such. Also just try to pick up on the little things he likes; things that may seem inexpensive but he will probably really love. For example I got my fiance all kinds of nice things for chirstmas, then I got him some white lego's … guess what his favorite was? the cheapest thing… the legos! But I do understand your delima … I'm having the same problem.

    2) brides maids! I do think you're doing plenty for them. But that's not what you asked.
    for the younger girls try to have their moms find out who their favorite bands are. Most these band will have websites and you can get them a t-shirt or something from their site. Or if they have a Myspace, you could easily find out yourself. Do either of them like crafts or things like that mabe you could get them a book or there is a great magazine called Craft, they sell it in major book stores.
    I know it may seem a little silly, but you could also do something fun like some PJ bottoms, or silly socks.
    I would also write a note to each of them just thanking them.

    Hope this helps. Good luck with everything.
