gifts for fianc! (female)

Options
Hi all

I know I know, it's getting a bit close for this type of talk!

So we are getting married abroad in march and as such have placed a budget on christmas of £50. She quickly spent this on my behalf before graciously allowing a budget extension of £20. Only one question, how do I show thoughfulness and appreciation of the woman I love and am going to marry on £20?

Any help (particularly from the female populus here!) Is greatly appreciated!

  • Something from the heart. Maybe a love letter, a special photograph put on to canvas. Maybe a trip down memory lane of where you met, where you went on your first date, momentous events together. Anything that comes from the heart is sure to make her feel loved x
  • Pack of cards (£1) and write on the back 52 reasons why I'm glad I'm marrying you, you can play cards then too lol.
    A memory jar filled with happy memories you've shared.
    My personal favourite has been a print out of "our" song with our silhouette overlayed on it and framed. Cost about a £5 I think.

    Have a quick search on pinterest.... loads on there

    Have you got a First dance sorted. If so why don't you get the lyrics or first chorus printed or whatever and framed

    What a good idea to agree a limit to pressie costs! (Even if it's had to be broken a bit.)

    Heart-shaped earrings would be my suggestion. In silver they should come in on budget.
