Last Xmas Gift

tweek84

I am wondering would people have any suggestions on a Xmas gift for wifey to be for our last Xmas engaged?
Wifey is big in to these type milestones where as I am not and have already gotten myself in hot water before so any suggestions appreciated.

You could get a nice print or photo of your wedding venue? Or Is that more of a wedding present maybe?

Last Christmas as an engaged couple is a milestone now?:eek:

No it’s not. And someone expecting that it be recognized is a very ominous indicator, imo.

A man to bring her into reality?

A framed photo of you, happy, single, free and healthy. It's a milestone, you'll never see it again.

I'd never heard of this before either, but I just googled it and apparently you can get Christmas ornaments, or t-shirts saying 'My last Christmas as a miss'. Honestly though I would consider stuff like that to be tat that you don't need - she'll never wear the t-shirt again, for example. I see all sorts of stuff like this in wedding groups on facebook - usually from Americans.

If you really want to get something though it looks like you can get ornaments etc on Etsy.

That last sentence is a bit concerning though - should you really be in 'hot water' for not recognising a milestone that isn't really a thing?

FYI, I agree with all the others, it’s crazy.

My brother got engaged last year and when I arrived home at Christmas (himself and fiance were home too), she was wearing a hoodie saying 'First Christmas as Mrs X to be.

I'm curious to see if there will be a 'Second Christmas ....' hoodie this year:pac:

But seriously OP, these are not real milestones, but invented by people selling cheap tat online.

Ha ha my thoughts exactly tat.
I am not one for marking occasions,' hot water' might not have been the correct term but apparently I didn't make a big enough deal for our kids births
I think you hit the nail on the head with the Facebook comment a lot is down to some crap that her friends post up

What do you think she was expecting? You to organize three wise men? :pac:

Seriously though, do you really think that she is expecting something for this? I have never heard of it. Has she hinted along these lines?

To be fair though, the birth of your children is a milestone that can't really be compared to your last Christmas before getting married!

Wifey?

Please stop.

For what it's worth, I agree that this is not a milestone...

If you're looking for a suggestion though, this popped up on my facebook feed:

You might be able to get a nice personalised picture with the date of your upcoming wedding or something along those lines? I think you'll be hard pressed to find a category specifically for "last Christmas engaged" though :P

If you wanted to go all out, you could also get a spa voucher so that she can take a day to pamper herself and relax before the wedding.

This has also popped up in my feed if you or anyone else is still looking for something! Or it could come in handy for your last Valentines Day engaged :P
