Gift Basket or Gift Bag Proposal Idea

So you may have a special lady who you’ve decided needs proposing. Unfortunately, you just don’t know where to begin. How about creating a gift basket/ gift bag engagement proposal? Now, this idea requires a lot of planning, but she will be so surprised. First, try to order things that would be interesting. Does she like chocolate? If so, consider ordering some personalized M&M’s with either “Will you marry me?” or each of your names on them (ex. Henry & Matilda). They can be ordered online and personalized with your message. Next, does she like candles? Yankee Candle allows personalized message candles to be ordered which you can have the same or similar messages. If you are really confident, you may even want to think about a “She said yes!” message on your candle. Finally, make sure you have the ring, but don’t include it in the package. Get a separate small gift bag and put it in there. make sure you hold on to it and keep it out of sight.

After you have all of these items, wrap them individually. Place each in a small box or wrap them in tissue paper. If you can’t wrap, you can even place them in small gift bags. You will need to write “Open first, second, third” on each individual tissue paper/bag/box. You may want to start off small, with the M&M’s for opening first, then progress to the candle for second, and leave an empty box/bag marked “Open third/last”. Inside, you can either put nothing in there and then ask her to marry you, or if you will be nervous, you can put a pre-made recording of you (either audio or video) with a note that says “Play me” on it. This way, you can ask her to marry you. Finally, when she says yes, pull out the “bonus gift” of the ring.
