Whether you want to acknowledge it or not, women are like detectives and getting creative about hiding an engagement ring is top priority if you really want to trick her and keep the proposal a secret.
Here are common themes with engagement ring boxes that men and women are using today.
A pocketbook –
For those who love bible verses or the book of psalms, this is a great way to hide your purchased engagement ring and perfect if you purchased a ring style called vintage engagement rings.
What is it? It’s a small box that looks like a book with a bible verse or saying written on the outside. As the recipient goes to open the book, all pages open together to reveal a hidden ring.
A photo box –
Another creative way to hide an engagement ring is through a photo box. This does take a bit of creativity and time to make as you’ll be making a scrapbook of images or simply using photo slides to hold images.
As the recipient flips through the photos, they’ll end at one that opens to a hidden ring.
A crystal –
A cute idea for those who love crystals, natural health, and energy is purchasing a fake crystal that opens and holds a ring.
Pretend roses –
If your recipient loves flowers, a cute idea is to have a real bouquet made with one fake rose that is actually a ring box. Not only will you be able to keep the rose as a symbol of this day, but it’s a secure way to store the ring when it’s not being worn.
Cake topper –
Start your life right by giving her/him a cake topper that opens and holds the engagement ring. This can then be reused as the ‘something old’ at your wedding that has sentimental value.
Candy boxes –
For those who love candies, why not host a ‘movie night’ with a large basket of candy. As the recipient opens up candy boxes, they’ll be surprised when one opens and is actually an engagement ring!
