I've always kind of thought it seems kind of unfair that when a couple gets engaged the guy usually goes out and gets the girl a ring, and he doesn't really get anything in return (other than a fiancee). I understand the historical reasons behind it, but it just doesn't seem fair.
I know my partner is going to be proposing sometime in the next few months and getting me a ring (I've caught him loooking at rings online, he's made comments about nice or stupid proposals he's heard people do recently, he's said that when he's done paying off his car this month he's going to start saving for something special etc etc).
Part of what made me finally create an account on theknot was to get opinions on this (I've been lorking for the last month or so). I don't really know what to get him though. It seems weird to get him an engagement ring. I was thinking cufflinks, but he doesn't wear them often enough. Then I was thinking maybe a really nice watch? All I know is that if I'm going to get him something, I'll have to start saving too!
So any ideas? Did any of you who already got engaged get your husband/fiance something? Are any of you who think your partner may be proposing thinking about getting him something?
