Wedding gift for spouse??

I know it's a common tradition to get a wedding gift for your spouse, but I have no clues what to get him. Are you guys doing this too? Any thoughts on a good, thoughtful gift?

    His mom passed away when he was 18, sadly. I scrounged up cards she had written in and had a tie clip engraved in her handwriting that says, "lots of love, mom." I'll also write him a note and give him cologne (which is REALLY for me...I love it!)

    I got FH a really nice watch he thought he'd never ever get but I got a good deal on it. I'm not expecting a gift from him, maybe a note

    I got him a pocket watch that's engraved with "Until the end of time. August 26, 2017" and today I decided to get him another little gift. I found a retro viewfinder (www.image3d.com) and you customize a reel with your favorite pictures. Every year on our anniversary, I will take pictures from that year and get another reel made.

    I think I'm getting him a watch. He doesn't wear any jewelry but I have noticed him looking at watches lately, so I was gonna get him something nice!!

    Bought an all wooden watch from Treehut, but my bio-dad blundered that surprise. So now I have a custom made cake topper that is still a surprise. ^_^

    I started a journal when we hit the 100 day mark, and I'm calling it "My Last Hundred Days as a Higgins" (my last name). I'm reflecting every day or two leading up to the wedding, and including notes about what we did that day, how I feel about us and him as a partner, saving tickets to events, and that sort of thing.

    I had big plans for a gift for FH but we ran out of money and time. I didn't end up getting him anything. I did surprise him with a grooms cake. Maybe that counts. HaHa! He got me a card but forgot to have anyone deliver it. He gave it to me that next day.

    No gifts here. Just writing notes in our exchange journals (which we use for birthdays, anniversaries, etc.)

    I'm giving my FH a puppy after the wedding and after that weekend since we'll be at the Ren Faire. We had joked months ago about training our dogs for the wedding, letting his shepherd Roxy be my flower dog, and my Belgian be his ring barker. But this February someone stole sweet Roxy from his yard Smiley sad He's still pretty heartbroken about losing her. This year we're buying a house, moving, changing jobs, so not a good time. So I'm talking to some shepherd groups and going to arrange a puppy for him after we're done with the ceremony and winding down <3
