Engagement gift for OH

Hi everyone I hope you can help me!!

Basically women get engagement rings when they get engaged but what do men get? My OH can't really wear a ring because of his job so i need something else i can get him as a engagement gift.

Any suggestions welcome

Steph xx :A

    Why would the OH need a present? He has you and you should be present enough:D

  • I didn't get OH anything for our first anniversary which was in July either... He bought me a diamond and topaz necklace... But in my defence, it was supposed to be a wedding present, he's just crap at keeping secrets!

    Mine is into photography and wanted a posh new camera so i offered to get it for him as an engagement present. I'm sure I read somewhere that traditionally it is a watch for a man.

    You can get personalised number plates from for about £150. I got my OH one from DVLA that says 'his name' (only three letters) 4 'my name' (shortened). But you could get him any combination that says something special. I did try to get my OH's name followed by 'CAR' but that was £1500 - a bit out of my budget!!
