I'm inclined to go for the Rolex.

The Love is best as a gift from your DH.

Birkins do last, but leather is always taking a bit of a risk because it is organic.

Jewelry or a Rolex will last you lifetime and easily passed down generations.

If you want to save the LOVE for your husband, perhaps another Cartier treat (Diamond love earrings?) would be possible?

I would go for the Love bracelet. I am lucky enough to have all three and based on that I can tell you I like the love bracelet the most. The birkin is awesome to have but I use a lot of my other bags more. I also like the watch but I don't wear it all the time. It is nice that the love is always with you wherever you go.

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
I think the Rolex would be a great gift from your in-laws. Even though you already have great watches, a Rolex would be something special to wear.
My next choice for you is the Birkin- always a classic!
I think you should save the Love for your anniversary! I don't think that the Love must always be a gift from a significant other ( I gifted the Love to myself! ) but if it's a choice as a gift from your in-laws or from your husband, then it's more romantic to have your husband give it to you.
But maybe your in-laws could give you another piece of jewelry?

Would it be your first birkin? If so, I say go for the birkin because it's not easy acquiring one unless you're after vintage or willing to pay the premium for brand new from resellers.

Having another watch would not "wow" you because you have a few other awesome ones. Carrying your first birkin though, that's special :)

first of all congrats!!! 2nd I say go for the Birkin!!!!!! That is my dream bag and a goal for me to have by the end of the year or sooner. These are some hard choices though because every fashionista needs these in her arsenal, honestly I would say start with the Love Bracelet and work you way up to the Birkin lol!

I would let them decide since they are the ones buying it for you. You've already narrowed down your choices so let them do the rest. If you pick it, it kind of taks out the element of surprise/point of a gift.

Yes they should probably surprise you, otherwise, while I do see the point that some made here I feel that Love would be the most appropriate choice for a wedding, a purse I would not gift for a wedding and you are not a watch person, me either, I love them but I end up not wearing them, I do, however wear my favorite bracelets every day and I think jewelry is the most memorable, most romantic and the longest lasting.

Very generous gifts and all very beautiful :smile1:. I would go for the Rolex. A timeless classic, which seems (to me) an appropriate gift from your in-laws. I personally think a Love bracelet should be a gift from your DH. A Birkin does not really feel like a wedding gift to me. What ever you decide, Many congratulations and enjoy xx
