misosouper, a shopping blog

Getting engaged on Christmas is a cliche on par with garters, ice sculptures, and that twirled-arm-drinking-a-toast-thing.

In other words, DON”T DO IT, people.

How about getting engaged on Thanksgiving instead?  The sentiment is certainly there; instead of shoehorning a ring on her finger as the obligatory holiday gift, you’ll demonstrate how thankful you are that she’s in your life.

This ring, with its twig motif and lovely rose cut diamond, is appropriately fall-themed.

You have one day to make it happen.

Hope you got what your heart desired over Valentine’s Day.  If you didn’t–and you’re in good company, because I didn’t either, despite the fact that I own this blog and can publish hints at least twice a day–you have my permission to buy yourself something pretty.  Like this necklace, which is a sweet deal at 65% off.  If nothing else, pat yourself on the back for saving so much money, and wear this token as a reminder of that Valentine’s Day when you were forced (under duress!) to buy your own gift.
