im getting married

ok im not, but my mate is and i need to get her an engagement gift.

thing is, she didnt invite me to the engagement party, and i sort of forgot to call her as iv been too busy, i know i know…im awful.

Im going to see her sometime this week and i want to get her something…not flowers or jewelry…something small but significant…but not too significant, if that makes sense. Iv already started saving for her wedding gift and as im a student cannot possibly afford something too significant for her engagment gift…

ok, so help please…

ta :slight_smile:

Re: im getting married

Re: im getting married

...a beautiful vase? Like beleek or top-name crystal. The smaller ones are quite reasonable and lovely to have on hand...the ones for a single rose are beautiful.

Re: im getting married

hmmm, i have a glass rose vase thing i brought from paris…but its for my sister :bummer:

plus, my mate isnt really a vasey person…shes a student.

I was thinking like…a wedding book?! but im pretty sure shes already got one

Re: im getting married

Those wedding books are lovely, but if she's already got one you need something different....maybe a scrapbook? You could have fun with that, get her all the extra things to go with it, glitter pens and glues, ribbons, stickers etc. She could use it for wedding and/or honeymoon photos and memories and its something different from the wedding book.

Re: im getting married

i would so love to get her a scrap book thing with glitter pens and all as thats so something i would like myself...but thats not really her kind of thing...shes very...erm...how do i say this?! shes very customary...shes not into arty make at home type of stuff.

Re: im getting married

miss M here has a whole pot full of it and isnt sharing :(

hmm.. how about a nice dress or something. get her something she'll actually use.

Re: im getting married

Miss_M, best way to buys gifts is to ask yourself what would you want if you were in her shoes. So tell us, if it were your engagement, what would be a nice gift? :p

Re: im getting married

Re: im getting married

Ravage, it's 9:30 in the morning. How can you be craving aloo gosht?

I actually like the scrap book idea. Or, you can get her a funny book ... dummy's guide to being married or something like that. I dunno ...

Re: im getting married

give her a giftcard so she can buy whatever she likes..

Re: im getting married

crystal picture frame or a vanity set..

Re: im getting married

M_M you're gona give the gents here heart attacks with ur thread title man :D

Re: im getting married

What would I buy myself? Make-up or perfume. A girl can never have enough of either of these.

Is an engagement present necessary though? When you're probably getting her something for her bridal shower and wedding too?

P.S. MM, I don’t have access to your journal. :hoonh:
