I really would like to propose to my boyfriend on Christmas. I mean, it's not a matter of him saying yes or no. He has already proposed to me, it's just he's often implied that he wants me to.
But the problem is, I can't afford anything fancy. And I'm just not sure when to do it and what to give him. I want it to be special and he's just not good at being punctual.
I have about $50 to spend and I could prolly get a bit more. But anything he wanted that I was aware of, he has already ordered.
Any suggestions?

You could start by making a list of less expensive things that both you and him love. You may wish to relate these items or activites to the winter and Christmas season. You could make a really memorable and enjoyable day rather than buying one item.
You could go skating, out for a drive, have a snowball fight, then back home for hot chocolate. Sounds childish, but these are simple pleasures that allow the two of you to enjoy spending time together. If you could find a wood burning fireplace (at your house?) that really enhances the ambiance. Of course you could always put together a small album of photos (include the ones from the entire time you`ve been together) and give it to him. Maybe you could bake him his favourite dessert, the gifts you put time into are always the best ones. If you`re at home, have his favourite (holiday) drinks on hand - again, hot chocolate.. eggnog.. something with alcohol if you`re of age.
If you`re creative and put some of your personal ideas into it, you could make a really great experience which would lead into the proposal. You could also consider making a set of clues to lead him around the house or yard to a small gift. Good luck :) [ emilyy's advice column | Ask emilyy A Question ]
