What gift should I buy my Fiancee for our wedding?

Asked by star_bug (65points) September 17th, 2009

I’m getting married very close to christmas this year and I’m a bit stuck on what to buy my future missus, I’ve been looking at something personalised for our tree possibly?! but cant seem to find anything quite right. The 1 thing I have heard about is a personalised star to sit on top of the tree which can be engraved but cant seem to find 1, any ideas?

Personalizationmall.com is always sending me stuff. I think they’ll personalize just about anything, especially at Christmastime.

What about buying it together? Then you can find something you both really love.

@mramsey – I don’t see that it is necessarily a wedding gift. It may be a Christmas gift since the OP says the wedding is very close to Christmas.

I understood it to be a wedding gift. I would want to have the opportunity to help select what star was going to be atop my tree for years to come, but a special outing with my future husband to buy christmas ornaments would be very appreciated and I would see it as very thoughtful. But, that does not solve the problem of what to buy her for the wedding. I don’t think my husband bought me anything? Isn’t that awful lol?! I’m not sure. You buy the rings for each other. But seems you want a surprise. A special box for her to keep her rings in, maybe Tiffany has something you can engrave? I have to think more.

What if you put together a set of ornaments that represent your relationship? For example, say you both love biking, you could get a bike. Maybe an ornament for the place that you met or where you are getting married. Maybe your first date was a concert or you proposed to her at your favorite restaurant.

A collection of things that show how much you cherish the relationship and her would bring tears to her eyes and be very touching.

I asked my husband and we didn’t get each other anything. But, I think it is a nice idea. Honestly, I would love just a note that I could keep forever in my box that I keep all of those things in. And, @Marina idea is very good.

Start a family tradition by buying an ornament each year. My husband and I did that. We got married shortly before Christmas and it seemed like a nice idea.

When it was just the two of us he bought me ornaments that looked like cats or sea shells and I bought him Star Trek ornaments (once the kids came we had to unplug them so the kids wouldn’t keep pushing the buttons all day long) or nautical ones (he is retired Navy).

Once the kids came, we switched to buying angels each year and had the kids select them. I write each child’s name and the year on their angel, with the thought of someday giving them all of “their” ornaments when they finally have a house and a tree of their own.

Personal Creations has some very nice things. I would stay away from Christmas and focus on the wedding, your relationship, love and the like.

My favorite spouse wedding gift was a nicely framed copy of this Norman Rockwell print. You could have your names and wedding date engraved and put on the frame – either on the back or where it would be visible.

Hello dear..
There are lot’s of gift ideas for your fiance. There are lot’s of things that girls love so I don’t think deciding the perfect gift for a girl is a very hectic task. But most of all girls love jewellery so I think jewellery would be the perfect gift for her. Jewellery is the best way to show love, care and affection. Buy her some sort of diamond jewellery like a ring or pendant. I am sure she would like it. It would help in future too. For more suggestions, take help from online stores. Anyways good luck for the best buy!! Hope you liked the idea.
