What should I surprise my husband with at our wedding reception?

My husband and I got married quickly before he left for Army basic training. Well, he's home now and we are planning a reception for our family and friends in July. I'd like to surprise him with a nice gift but I don't know what. HELP!What should I surprise my husband with at our wedding reception?
A new Harley with beer cans (Empty of course) tied to the rear fender would be the greatest gift any red blooded American male could receive. Be really cool. The two of you blasting off on your second honeymoon with your legs wrapped around his waist. Oh. And thank him for his service to our great country from all of us. Congrats to you both. May you live to ride, and ride to live.What should I surprise my husband with at our wedding reception?
Consider his personality and his likes and dislikes when choosing a gift. Often times this alone will make your gift more surprising and effective than something 'cookie cutter' (flasks, cufflinks, etc.)





Does he enjoy fine alcohol? Consider splurging on a bottle of Armagnac, which is a finer, more aged version of cognac. You could pair it with a nice crystal decanter which you could easily have personalized for him.





Does he love sweets? Consider a surprise 'groom's' cake. Generally the groom's cake is kept a secret and is a surprise for him at the reception, and is often made in a flavor which is his favorite and not included in the wedding cake. And the part that makes groom's cakes most fun is that they are normally fashioned into something that he likes or represents him, like a video game, the ever popular fish cake, etc. Check the link for examples: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en%26amp;q=…





If he's an accessory wearing guy, you might splurge on a really nice timepiece that you have personalized on the backside, with your names or a short but sweet message to him from you, or possibly your wedding date. You might consider a Movado, Breitling, etc... something you (or he) wouldn't normally splurge on.





Loves automobiles: Is there a racing track %26amp; school near to where you live? Surprise him with a day of learning racing with an instructor, or if he's into fine supercars, surprise him with a day-rental of his dream car (Bentley, Ferrari, etc.)





The list goes on. What does he like? Tell us! It'll better help us brainstorm.





Congrats and good luck!
Typical would be cufflinks, a nice watch, etc. Non-standard would be something more personal that fits his personality: a leather briefcase, Craftsman toolbox/tools, gourmet cooking classes, skydiving gift certificate, etc. Since he is in the Army, why not commission a flag to fly in his honor over the capitol building? My fiance has one from when he got his Eagle Scout honors.





HOW TO OBTAIN A FLAG FLOWN OVER THE CAPITOL


Constituents may arrange to purchase flags that have been flown over the Capitol by getting in touch with their Senators or Representative. A certificate signed by the Architect of the Capitol accompanies each flag. Flags are available for purchase in sizes of 3' x 5' or 5' x 8' in fabrics of cotton and nylon.





Good luck!
Get him something he wants, but most likely you would never buy him. Or something he wants not cufflinks, or a cute piture of you two or something like that. That might be something YOU would like for HIM to have, but the same is not true the other way around.
tell him you're pregnant! LOL
