Engagement Gifts...

So some people say absolutely not and some people say of course.

What do you girls think, is it customary to get the FH an engagement present?

I did. I bought him teh Saturday ticket package for teh Mets (all saturday home games) because he didnt get the package for himself and put the money towards my engagement ring. So, I thought, I would do something nice for him! Its not fair he has to spend big $$ on a ring and he doesnt get a present either . . .JMO

I didnt. I got my E-Ring Christmas Eve and that was my Christmas present too.. I know FH couldnt afford anything else and i'm fine with that.. so the way i see it, i got him a psp and games and clothes that christmas. so I dont see the need to get him an Engagement present.

Thanks all.

I am so torn - I think this is one of those questions where there is no right or wrong answer.

His b-day is coming up, I am contemplating giving him a really big b-day gift.

I would do that then... Get him something bigger than what you normally would.

I gave him an engagement gift. We got engaged while vacationing in Vegas. He saw an autographed Doors album that was signed by Jim Morrison in a shop in Cecears Palace. He loves The Doors and it is hard to find an authentic autograph. It was in a big 16 x 20 matted frame so we talked the guy down in price and they gave us a good deal including shipping.

Since your FH's b-day is coming up you can get him something special...something bigger than usual. good luck!!

I agree....i think he felt really appreciated when I gave him his gift. He called all his friends and said you are never gonna guess what Kristen gave me, etc. It was nice to see that I put the same smile on his face that he put on mine when I got the ring!

Our wedding gift to each other is the upgrade to First Class on our honeymoon flight!

Re: Engagement Gifts...

he told me he doesn't want one..he would rather i save the money for the wedding...so instead of getting him a huge gift..i've been getting him little 'just because' gifts throughout the past 9 months we've been engaged...making big dinners on the weekends..buying random things i know he needs/likes...
