Engagement gift for OH

2»

Comments

  • Well I actually proposed to my OH... so I got him a ring but as your OH works with machines, the number plate idea is a great idea!

    On the other hand you could still get him a ring or watch but to wear when he isn't working....

    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

    Take him out for a nice meal. Dress to impress and then later give him the night of his life. It won't be an expensive night and let me assure you, from a mans point of view, Food, Drink and a fantastic night with the girl of his dreams - he wouldn't want anything else!!

    I got my OH an aftershave I knew he liked :)
  • I didn't get anything :( Wasn't expecting it really either though. Did get a very nice camera from wifey whilst on honeymoon as a wedding present.

    I got mine a watch with the date I proposed engraved on the back. He loves wearing a watch so this was perfect x
  • I proposed to my OH using a slideshow of pictures, text and 'our' song. He got me a ring in return :D

    My OH is a nightmare to buy for at the best of times, so I have also been racking my brain thinking what to get him as a pressie as I intend to propose this Saturday. Finally decided on a swiss army knife with lots of gizmos as he loves tools and stuff. He's already got a nice watch, doesn't wear jewellery and it was either that or an engraved can of stella (lol!).

    Ticklepenny, glad you said watch there!! When I started to read it I thought "hmm, you're getting him a dress?!" :rotfl:
