Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I didn't get FH an engagement gift and I do not have tons of $$$ but my FH keeps blabbing about how his friend (whose FI makes well into 6 figures) got a large plasma tv from his FI for their engagement and now i feel bad i didn't get him anything. I mean I know i get him a wedding gift but should I have gotten him an engagement gift???

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I didn't get FH one.

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

Since we got engaged around christmas, my ring was my christmas present, so I just told him his christmas presents were his engagement gifts

I would just tell FH that now that you are engaged, it's probably time to start seeing things realistically and that you cannot afford an extravagant gift. Then go out and buy him something more meaningful than a stupid TV and tell him you wanted him to have somethign that was a symbol of your love, not something he could sit and watch.

I'll drink to that!



I was thiniking of getting him a nice watch or a recliner, but I really have no $$, and so I'll save it for a really nice wedding gift. I think I'll go for the watch though. It's nicer than a TV and it'll last forever. I was thinkng recliner, but along the same lines as the TV I don't want to encourage him to sit on his but, watch TV and ignore me (and housework..lol)..

If he's really bugging you over the TV I'd talk to him about it. it isn't really nice for him to make you feel like he expects somethign especially when he know you're not a millionaire and you've got a wedding to save for.

i was his engagement gift!!!

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

i didnt get him anything.

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I did get FH an engagement gift. I bought him a Rolex watch. But we are probably not doing wedding presents for eachother.

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I just got him a crappy watch- nothing special I know though he was eyeing it for a while- no biggie!

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I didn't get FH one, and I felt bad about it when he showed up at e-party with one for me. I did however get him a wedding gift before we even got engaged. When he sees it, he'll realize when and where I got it, and hopefully that will make up for it.

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I didnt give him anything.. I said yes, thats the best gift of all

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I gave him this Raymond Weil watch.

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

lol,,, no

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I took him to get a massage - something he always talks about but never does. I wanted to do something since he had spent so much on my ring and therefore couldn't indulge himself. But a plasma TV?! Come on!

Re: Did you get your FH an engagement gift?

I didn't get FH anything...then again he's not expecting anything either...he was just happy I said yes! I don't think he knows about the whole wedding present thing either...that's something we have to talk about because we're paying for everything pretty much ourselves so..we might not get each other a present and just put that money into the wedding..
