No. I haven't yet. I thought about getting him a claddagh ring as a "man-gagement ring". I didn't because I know he wouldn't wear it. He works with explosives for the miltary, so he cannot wear metal jewelry on his hands.
hadn't heard of this before, but I like the idea, very sweet. maybe a photo album or scrap book of the two of you over the years? Or a watch with a message engraved on the back?
I mean yeah i'm getting him a wedding ring but i wanted to just get him something little after he proposes to me to also let him know how much i love him back, and to let him know how much i appreciate everything he has done for me over the years. I do believe he deserves something special because i've been so annoying to him for almost a year now about proposing to me. I haven't heard of many people doing this but i was hopping someone on this site had thought about it themselves and could give me some good ideas.
verosara I love the idea of engraving a watch!!!!! Thats an awesome idea thanks so much.. if you think of anything else that i could possible do let me know!!!!!! thanks!!
That's really sweet--you should totally do it!
I got Mr. P. an engagement laptop right after he proposed. He'd been itching for one for a while. That was about a year ago, and just the other day, he said that it's still the best present he's ever gotten. : )
parfait... wow thats a really nice gift you got him!!! Yeah i want to get him a gift and i do think the watch idea is a really good idea but i'm not sure if he would wear a watch because he hasn't worn one for years.
I got my FI an XBox for his birthday. It was a lot more than what we normally spend, but I knew the proposal was coming sometime within the next month, so I splurged!
I'm buying my FI an ECU for his car once I get my tax return. He's wanted one forever and hasn't been able to buy it because he was saving for my ring. :)
I was planning on buying him a watch - hadn't thought about getting it engraved. What a great idea!
My boy is getting an engagement ring, not sure when I'll give it to him though. I better buy it and have it handy, as the proposal could be as soon as Valentines day!
We have had this planned out for a couple of months.. I told Mr. Tee if he gets me an engagement ring.. I will get him this watch: Curtis and Co. Big Time World.. he is in love with it!

my friend got her husband a puppy :)
I didn't get mine anything, but mostly because I couldn't come up with anything nearly as special as his proposal to me :)
I want to get my BF a pair of locket cufflinks after he proposes. His dad was killed when the BF was 2 and his grandpa died 5 years ago, so I want to put a picture of those two in the cufflinks and hopefully he can wear them on wedding day. I love the idea of getting him a little something!
Yes, I gave him a present...The gift of having moi as his wife for the rest of his life! And therefore agreeing to be the mother of his children...In my mind, that's a pretty sick present :)
wow everybodys gifts are sooooooooooooo great!!!!!! I love the cufflinks idea!! thats a great gift to get your gf especially after what he has been through. The xbox is a nice gift and the puppy idea was awesome!!!! We already have a dog or else i would propbably totally do that!!
I did....nothing too snazzy, but I did get him a new phone b/c he had been wanting one for a while, and couldn't really splurge on himself b/c of the money he had spent on my engagement ring.
lol. He's in love with this specific one, so I have a little savings account set up. And to be honest, it's more like, when I have the money is when he'll get his motorcycle.
No but we are getting husband and wife gifts we can give each other during rehearsal when we give our wedding party their gifts.
I'm gonna marry your ass, and my parents are going to pay for most of it, that's my gift ;)
I got my FI a really nice tool belt that he wanted after he proposed and I will be giving him a gift on our wedding day too.
@penguin- LOLOLOL thats hilarious! Too bad I cant say the same, he is paying for everything!
mrsbiner...thats so funny, that is the exact same thing i have told my FI (ring for a motorcycle)!!! hopefully one day i will be able to afford it for him!
yeah i think i might get him a watch with it engraved after he proposes and im going to get him a gift to give him on our rehersal dinner night.. Hell i figured hes spending thousands of dollars on a wedding ring i could afford to get him something nice also. Yeah he will have a really nice wedding band for the wedding day but i wanted to get him something else special from me that he will always be close to his heart!!! Everyones ideas are so great!! Thanks for helping me out in my decison making...
I've been waiting forever... his gift will be me not killing him whilst waiting. That counts right? lol.
He is too simple to buy any form of man-wear anyway. He'd chuckle if I gifted him something/think I was weird b/c he is also verrrrrrrrrrry traditional.
He'll probably get boudoir pics on as a wedding gift though... lol! But that requires a lot of guts... we'll see.
mandalee0624 Giving him some boudoir pics is a great idea, me and my girlfriend have been dating our boyfriends for 6.5 years our anniv are only 2 weeks apart so we decided together on our 5th year anniv we were going to make them nudy calendars. So i was going to take her pics for her and she was going to take my pics for me. Well she ended up going out of town and having a different girlfriend take hers so i just found someone else, but all in all it was a great 5 year anniv gift to give him. They weren't at all anything professional but they turned out really really good!! Of course you have to find a friend your comfortable enough to take your pics.... My bf loved loved loved his calendar and he was way surprised i would even do anything like that, so my favorite part was seeing his expression on his face when he realized what the calendar actually was. If i haven't already made him a calendar for or 5 year anniv i would totally do that for his engagement gift!!! Thats an awesome idea and you can't ever go wrong giving your bf or fiance a gift like that, atleast you know its a gift he will always love.
Yes!! I (already) bought my bf a Tag watch to give him once he (finally) proposes. We've been talking wedding talk for a while, so I made sure I had the watch all paid off before Thanksgiving...just in case. Well, two months later, it's still hidden safely in the wayyy back of my closet all wrapped up in its pretty silver wrapping paper and bow....just waiting to be opened. :) He's always wanted a Tag watch, so I'm really excited to give it to him as an engagement gift.
I've also toyed with the idea of getting boudoir pics to give him as a wedding gift, as well. But like someone else mentioned...that one takes guts!
Miss Biner Thats awesome! Bf always jokes that I dont get my ring till he gets his Harley lol. I was also thinking about a new Nixon watch...having it engraved is a wonderful idea.
Well 1 week after we got enaged my FI bought a car and so we say that I got the ring and he got a new car! I didnt give it to him...I let him get it!!! :-)
I got him an Xbox for an engagement gift. I'm going to get him a watch for a wedding gift. (I was going to give him cufflinks, but I ordered them too early and got too excited to wait 2 more months to give them to him!)
after having a semi enthusastic reaction to getting him a watch, i suggested rubiks cubes. This again seems lame. But he loves puzzles. He's done a 3x3x3, and a 4x4x4, and he rather likes the look of the 7x7x7 BUT would like to work his way up. These things aren't exactly cheap. But I figured I could get him a goody bag full of puzzles that he can just pick up and fiddle with whenever he wanted to keep his fingers busy.
Amanda, I gave my FI an Armani watch. He has been lusting over it for months. He keeps saying that "forever ain't long enough" in terms of our time together so I got him a watch to symbolize "time". So, it's practical but it means something to both of us.

I really want to get my bf a really nice gift after he pops the question to let him know how much i also love him and how appreciated he is in my life. I know saying yes to his proposal obviously lets him know i love him very much but i also wanted to get him something in return. It doesn't have to be expensive just something close to the heart just to let him know how much i appreciate and love him.
Is anybody doing the same or does anybody have ideas??
