A Memorable Christmas Gift

There are just so many that come to mind, but some of the most memorable gifts I have received would be the gifts my husband gave me for Christmas in 2003. He was still my boyfriend then.

The jewelry box was the ideal gift for me that time, since I do not have a decent place to place all my accesories. He found it irritating tedious that I had to to untangle my necklaces everytime I have to use them. So he gave me that – a very nice wooden jewelry box! It has little drawers, a special compartment where I can hang necklaces, and it is topped with a mirror and ring compartments. Inside this jewelry box is another gift!

What more could top the jewelry box, but an engagement ring! He had sort-of proposed for marriage a month before but he found it fitting to formally propose to me on our first Christmas together.

We got married two weeks later.

  • An engagement ring would definite be memorable! That is so sweet.

    I love that you got married two weeks later. I always say, once you’ve decided that you’re going to get married, why wait? Some engagements just seem to go on and on and on.
