Engagement gift for FH

Original post by Espo22

Has anyone or is anyone giving their FH an engagement gift...I hadn't thought about this until my friend brought it up to me after i got engaged bc she said thats what she is going to do and i thought it was a great idea...Well i wanted to give it to him at our e-party, but the past few months paying for both a wedding, e-party and plus the holidays, i couldn't do it, so i am giving it to him after.

Has anyone done this, or plans to?

I got my FH a digital camera. He loves taking pics so I wanted to get him a new one. He loved it...

FH was really mad at me, but I gave him money towards a new car because he wants one really bad. Instead, he started a retirement fund at work with the money. Although he was mad because he didn't want me spending any money, he was really appreciative.

I did...I was going to get him a flat screen plasma TV...which we could later use in our house...but while we were on vacation FH saw an autographed Jim Morrison album cover that was framed w/ the album. He loves The doors and jim Morrison!!! He talked the guy down in the price...from $2500 to $1500 shipped. I would have preferred the TV but he really wanted it...so that was his gift.



OOooo that is a great gift though...Yeah FH already knows exactly what he is getting...He knew i wanted to get him a watch and he told me to go to his friend who sells watches to jewelry stores and works with them, so his friend can get me a great price. So i am gonna get him a Rolex oyster perpetual day date watch




I bought FH a Rolex too but i gave it to him for Christmas. FSIL wanted me to wait until our engagment party (which is this weekend) but at the time i was too anxious so it was a christmas/engagement gift...LoL he was sooo surprised!!!!!!! i don't think that they expect an engagement gift so it is nice!!!!

I agree and most of what was paid for for the wedding so far is all of me.. not that it really matters i see it as eventually its OUR money.. but when i brought up getting him a gift he said thats ridiculous since i'm making the payments
