My boyfriend just proposed to me and gave me a beautiful diamond engagement ring, but I would like to get him something. Any suggestions?

I think men love jewelry just as much as women. Cuff links are a really overlooked gift and they are very sleek and professional looking. Many many cuff links can be engraved and come in gold or silver and even have diamonds on them. I also got my boyfriend a silver cuff bracelet and had it engraved with a message on the underside. He loved it!

You really ARE sweet. I don't think it's as common for men to receive engagement gifts from their fiancees :) I think men do in fact like jewelry. A watch is a great gift. Or maybe something engraved, like a professional pen, a sports memorabilia, something to that extent. And of course, a great gift is a trip somewhere exotic. Although that might be a bit more pricey. I think that if you do a little bit of research, or even ask your friends for their input, you might certainly discover some great ideas. Maybe just a romantic dinner would be nice. I'm sure he would appreciate whatever you have in store for him. I don't think you need to go overboard, since again... it's not the most common thing, probably not expected or anticipated. So basically, just have fun with it.

You are so sweet! Most women don't even think about giving their fiance an engagement gift. It's like they give you the diamond ring and we women just forget they exist! I definitely think something meaningful and from the heart is in order here. I wouldn't necessarily go the way of jewelry, but you could get him a watch or a gold or silver bracelet. It should be more tailored to what his likes are. My boyfriend is an outdoor guy so I would probably get him a new tent or take him a bike trip somewhere. Good luck with this!

That really is a great question. I'm not really sure how to answer that. Maybe a piece of jewelry. I don't think your husband would ever expect an engagement gift from you, so I don't think you have to worry about that whatsoever! Cuff links are definitely sleep and nice to have. And if they have diamonds, the better! I actually have heard of that kind of gift for a guy. Otherwise, a nice bottle of wine or maybe something for a collection that he has (whatever that may be... jewelry, sports related, or other), or maybe just a nice dinner at his favorite restaurant or a getaway to his favorite vacation hot sport... as long as you keep it reasonably priced. I definitely would stay away from going overboard because generally, engagement gifts are given to the couple by their friends and family. And if one person of the couple decides to give the other a gift nevertheless, then it's probably going to be the guy giving the girl a gift and not the other way around :)
