Tradition indicates that we gift a ring to our partner when we ask them to marry us. But, it’s always nice to give something extra as well! Want some help on picking a perfect proposal gift?
Engagement ring giving is a tradition that dates back to the Ancient Egyptians.
In the ancient times, the rings were made out of reeds that had been plaited but nowadays, the majority of engaged hopefuls present their partner with a diamond ring. That, in itself is a big gesture but many guys like to add something a little extra on top of the ring…
So, if you want to go all out and spoil your soon to be fiancé in more ways than one, we have a few additional gift ideas up our sleeve that will help you with picking that perfect proposal gift!
1.Lasting roses
Flowers are lovely, but let’s be real, they only last about a week and then they head straight for the bin. Have you heard of lasting roses? They can be a perfect proposal gift!
You can find roses that are treated to last over a year through to roses that have been dipped in 24k gold! They are boxed beautifully, and you can choose your favourite rose colour as well as customise the box.
2.Custom made book
Similarly, this is a great idea and a fantastic way to personalise your proposal. You can either get creative with a scrap book you made yourself, or head online to create a digital book that you can then get printed. Dig a little deeper and you will find actual cartoon books with custom illustrations and story lines that you can personalise! You can document your couple story, right from how you met, through to the day you ask your partner to marry you.
3. Personalised couple’s song
You can actually have song writer’s custom write a song for you and your partner! Yes, this is a thing! So, you can tell them all about your story, have them write a song just for you and have it playing at your proposal. This is something your partner will cherish forever.
4. Designer gift
For those who want to add some extra luxe to their proposal, you can add a designer gift into the mix. Think a designer bag with your partner’s initials monogrammed onto it, or a designer watch with a love message engraving. So sweet! And such a perfect proposal gift!
5. Pamper gift
Finally, the gift of relaxation. Everybody loves to be pampered, so why not book your partner into a luxury spa after the proposal? They can have a massage, a facial or their hair done and walk out feeling like ‘new ring, new me’.
Not only can they get pampered, but a fresh manicure to go with their shiny new engagement bling is essential when everyone they know will be asking to see the ring on their hand.
All of these proposal gifts will surely make a romantic lastly effect on your partner!
