What do I get my bride for a wedding present?

Question

Totally at a loss. Although I have a good job, we don't have a lot of money because we're trying to sell a house and move (for her job making me jobless) and paying for a wedding. Wedding's in a week and a half.

She really loves these earrings:

but they're so pricey.

She likes modern-style jewelry, silver, etc., not a big name brand kind of person generally. She doesn't like knick-knacks, and she's a physicist.

I'm at a loss, and I'm running out of time!

Answer 1

Seriously, they have a LOT of options for romantic, personalized gifts. With different price ranges.  I always think it's sweet when it's personal.  Good luck!  As long as it's from the heart- she'll LOVE IT!!!

Answer 3

If she is materialistic, can't help

but if she's not, pour out your heart on pretty paper with some promises and frame it and present it to her on your wedding day or night.

Answer 4

Get her something from Walmart. They have sparkly jewelry. She might think it's real.

Answer 5

im sure you can find some similar earrings at a cheaper price.

Answer 6

If you two have a strong enough relationship then she will love whatever you get her.

Answer 7

Funny. I've been to dozens of weddings in my time, and until I came on here, I NEVER heard of someone buying their new spouse a present. You're getting married! The wedding, honeymoon, and YOU are her presents! Besides, you two are getting married. That means sharing and working together. If you're in the middle of selling a house and moving, then skip the present. She'll understand, or you're making a mistake marrying her in the first place.

Other than that, congrats and good luck!

Answer 9

LOL You're paying not only for a wedding but also a GIFT for the bride??

Can't you see that you are just falling for America's consumer culture? Look that up if you don't know what that is. Educate yourself about advertising and societal pressure to BUY.

Answer 10

If she's really a good woman she will appreciate anything you buy her, but as it's yopur wedding I'd go with the earrings. Jewelery is always a good thing for womans present.

Answer 11

I would try to sit down with her and explain to her money is tight, if she doesn't know about the money issues. You have to ask yourself how many times she will wear these. Will it be a once and done deal? If so in my opinion it would be a waste of money. However, you are the only one who can decide if your budget can handle this purchase or not. If I were you I would probably get something for her a bit cheaper, but something that she likes and will use a lot. Good Luck

Answer 12

Take one day, or half a day, and look around at some jewelry stores. Show them the picture of the earrings and see what they have that's similar. Compare prices at a few places and then make your choice.

And don't worry about it too much. The real gift is the life that you build together.

Answer 13

This may sound tacky but I know Sears has some very nive jewlery for way less. My husband didn't get me anything for our wedding so I am sure she will LOVE anyhing you pick out for her!

Jewlery is an excellent choice, especially if she doesn't have anything "special" to wear on her special day!
