    hey, Yey i just got engaged to a wonderful man (ha, thats mad, my boyfriend is a man, ha thats madder, my boyf is gonna be my husb.....scary stuff - she says with a massive grin on her face) anyway, I would love to get him a little something to mark the ocassion. He's not into any big shows of affection and would literally laugh in my face if I handed him one of those heart necklaces where we both have a half each, then put it away in a drawer somewhere and not around his neck.... So I'm really confused about what to get him. I would like something that he'd have on him all the time, but nothing too obvious. Any ideas out there.

    Have you thought about getting a watch engraved with the date yiz got engaged?
    Or even a very manly ring for him to wear on his engagement finger? I love the engagement ring idea for a man, but some aren't into it.

    I got my husband a DSLR camera. He loves it! Men love gadgets. I know my sis in law got my brother a huge flat screen tv.

    If he doesnt like jewellery I wouldnt bother trying to get him to wear some.
