Engagement gifts

**BiPolarShrew** · 3rd March 2008

My mate and his girlfriend have got engaged and they are having a party on friday,

Im wondering what to get them both, i say a crate of beer, but my girlfriend says dont be stupid,

what do people normally buy for engagement gifts?

Fuck all....a nice bottle of champagne/ wine if you must!

Engagement gifts?! Save it for their wedding mate.

Although, a pack of Caf� Cremes suit most occasions, and should go down a treat.

see, thats my argument. ive always argued that you shouldnt get engagement gifts. you get wedding gifts.

then someone said you get them something for the home. like a lamp? or some curtains? lol

very engagementy.

We got loads of stuff for a house for our engagement (didn't have a house at the time).

We also got a few bottles of wine.

As a general rule unless a couple is having an engagement party then I wouldn't bother.

However as they are then a picture frame is a winner present. It doesn't have to be expensive and they will want some for their wedding pics after the big day.

Sannies??
That's not a very nice gift.

Just get vouchers, then they can spend them on what they like, unless you get really useless vouchers.

I think your first thought was a good one.
A crate of beer for him and a dildo for her.
That way if she doesn't like all the beer, she can go and fuck herself.

vibrator for her and 12 months of pron to a website or tv. should go down a treat

What ever you decide on, make sure the card is a condolences card!

Nothing, I've never heard of anybody getting gifts for being engaged.
Married yes Engaged no, is this some crass American tradition being forced upon us?

According to the rules of wedding engagement etiquette, it’s not mandatory to give a wedding engagement gift.

I recently purchased one of these for a close friend and his partner. She wanted to know why I'd bought it for them and then called me a tight (unt for expecting them to share it.

There's no pleasing some people........
