Three Unique Ways to pop the question over the holidays!

And yes, there will be a Christmas again this year! There is no escaping it. It's like taxes. But this year you want it to be special. You want to take the opportunity to make the Big Ask. You've been thinking about it for a while but you're not sure how to do it. In private, with your family or with friends? On the 24th at midnight, a little tipsy, or on the 25th at the in-laws'. Stop asking yourself all these questions, we're here to help you. Here are three original ways to declare your true and true love.

There's nothing like having a partner in crime that you enjoy. Fernand is the laughing uncle, always in a good mood, who you hope will arrive early to liven up the family party. Here's the plan: on New Year's Eve, Fernand approaches your lover and slips her a good-sized gift, telling her that he appreciates her and that this year he wants to give her a present. You think this is a nice gesture, but you don't care about him and his idea. You leave the room under the pretext of some mission. Slightly uncomfortable, your girlfriend opens the gift, which is slightly tasteless; sexy underwear for example. You return quietly to them and intervene with your uncle, telling him that it is inappropriate. You take the piece of clothing in your hand, revealing a small box of jewellery just below. Increasingly uncomfortable and confused, your lover sees the box containing an engagement ring. We think this is the moment when you and your partner start laughing to break the awkwardness. Perplexed, your lover quickly realises that she has been tricked. This embarrassing situation turns into a big surprise. She'll say yes, it's a no-brainer.

It's true. You haven't been around for long, but you feel that this person is finally the one and that the feeling is mutual. You want to give her a beautiful diamond ring and propose to her, come what may. This Christmas, you make sure you have a decorated tree and a little nativity scene under the tree, even if you haven't taken it out for several years. As tradition dictates, the Jesus in the cot must be hidden until midnight on December 24. The time may vary, of course, but we suggest that you be alone with her, around the tree, exchanging gifts. At a well-chosen moment, ask your lover to take out the baby Jesus, revealing his hiding place and placing him in the centre of the cot. To her surprise, an engagement ring is attached to it. If you feel uneasy, just tell him that a miracle has happened and that you had nothing to do with it. If, on the other hand, she seems to be delighted by the idea, you can tell her that you and the baby Jesus are indeed in collusion. In front of a witness she will say yes in all her innocence.

December, like all months ending in "ember", is a time to feast on fresh oysters, and Christmas is often the last opportunity for big tables of this pearl mollusc. You know that not only pearls can be hidden in this shell. The jewel of your proposal can also be slipped in with a dash of vinegar, lemon or tabasco. Here you are with your future wife and ideally with your closest friends, accomplices of your proposal. You know it, everyone knows it, she's been waiting for a while. Strangely enough, the oyster with the parsley stalk remains on the plate until your beautiful one makes her choice. Time stands still for a moment, all hoping she doesn't swallow the engagement ring with the oyster. Fortunately, the clash of textures does not allow it. She looks at you, complicit. Finally, you have made up your mind, it's a definite yes.

A proposal is probably the best gift you can give at Christmas. What could be more romantic than a gold ring set with a diamond or moissanite, accompanied by a vow of love and commitment? Usually, the price of an engagement ring is around one month of your personal salary. Make sure you offer a high quality piece of jewellery, ideally handmade by a local designer.

Moreover, if the ring size does not fit on the day of the engagement, the first setting in Size is free. We look forward to meeting you!
