Let’s face it, there is a tendency to forget that the big day is actually about TWO people, and not just about the bride! Allowing the groom to have input in choosing the gifts is not only important, but probably one of the tasks he will be more likely to enjoy! He can rest assured with a great online registry that he doesn’t even have to leave the sofa, but can happily browse through gift choices from the comfort of his own home, with his feet up and a beer!
Knives – Whether he is a regular Jamie Oliver or he can only manage a few snags on the BBQ, men LOVE knives. Cook’s knives, Knife block sets, Steak knives, Carvers, Home sharpening kits and for the ultimate in knives The Swiss Army Knife! Let him choose these… he’ll appreciate it.
Barbecue –Top of the blokes’ gift list has got to be the good old Aussie Barbecue. They come in many shapes and sizes for even the tiniest of balconies or the largest of backyards and have lots of great coordinating tools. Perfect for on the go – have a look at the travelling style barbecues. Simply throw them in the back seat and you’re good to go!
Games – A good way to add some fun into your gift registry is to add some games, and boy don’t the Blokes love games! There are lots of favourites to choose from including Scattegories, Jenga, Monopoly, Twister, Backgammon, Chess, Quoits and of course…Poker!

Ms Gingham says: Some great ideas! After all, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach… and the way to a man’s stomach is through his barbeque. Brilliant!

I thought it was bad luck to give knives as a gift?
Hi Nat,
if you believe in Feng Shui it could be. However it also states that the receiver can give a gold coin to the gifter to neutralise any bad effects.
