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?

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

Re: Engagement gift for FH
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!!!!

yup I agree!
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
