DH got watch, menorah, becher, tallis/tefillin bag with kittel, and set shas. Our first sukkos married, my father took him to silver store to choose esrog pushke.
He did not get machzorim or siddur or megilla.

So far we gave:
a silver necklace at the lechaim
tennis bracelet at the tenoim
watch for Pesach, also flowers
What comes next? And what for her birthday?
Machzorim/siddur/tehilim for RH, right?
Are we supposed to give a diamond necklace or earrings at some point??
Someone told us photo album of the chosson, is that true? |
I gave for birthday a Valentino crossbody bag for simchas.
We did the diamond necklace at wedding and earrings before that. Others do the opposite way

But the kallahs like the earrings before the wedding for pictures.

Earrings for Sukkos?
I forgot about the candlesticks, thanks. I mean, I knew we have to give them but forgot just now. |
My son was engaged right before rosh hashana and had lechaim and tenoyim before succos
So yes in one month she got diamond braclet ring and watch plus machzorim and shabbos kalla flowers. That was a whirlwind of presents

Right so I gave it before and when I was a kalla I got it before.
But I realized that many people in the satmar circle still do it the other way around. Many of my satmar friends or neighbors were surpised when I said im giving necklace by wedding. I thought most people do it that way by now

Wow, you ladies are so helpful!
I'm thinking of giving an evening bag or a cosmetic case as a b-day gift. Can anyone link this fashion-unsavvy future MIL to evening bags or cosmetic cases that would be appropriate for a young (married) woman?

Are you in BP? Bersel has nice options.
Personal preference, get a bag over a cosmetic case. It is a much more useful gift.
Honestly, makeup is just fine in the free gift bags from Clinique.

The basics for a chosson are-
Shas (gift cert)
Bechor
Watch
Esrog pushka
Menorah
Some give a megilla. Me thinks it’s a real luxury.
Bday present if he has one
Chosson aufruf package- lotsa stuff go in there
Machzorim
Kallah-
Flowers and more flowers for the first shabbos tenoyim and shabbos kallah
Watch
Bracelet
Ring
Wedding crossbody- not a must
Earrings
Necklace
Machzorim
Other smaller gifts for birthday or whatever
Baby album

Cam do machzorim for sukkos, pesach, shavuos.
Siddur/tehillim part of the shabbos kallah package
When are you giving diamond ring?
People do either necklace or watch I think.

Chassidish kallahs who get married within 4-5 months still get it all during the engagement.
At the end of the day it's all given close together during the engagement time period, whether it's 4 months or a year
