5 Creative Proposal Ideas

Engagement season is upon us. Planning your proposal is never easy so if you’re gathering that your significant other might be dropping hints for an engagement ring, we have five creative proposal ideas for you to consider.

1. Geocaching – Do you like scavenger hunts? Then geocaching is a fun and cute idea to consider for your proposal! Give your significant other clues and hints that will eventually lead them to the hiding spot of the ring. It’s also a great way to pick a place that is special, such as your first date.

2. Holiday Surprise – Are you thinking of proposing around Christmas time? How about hiding the ring in an ornament on the tree? You can decorate the tree together and hand them the ornament that contains the ring. Every year, you can hang that very ornament together as a beautiful reminder of your proposal.

3. Serenade with a song – If you’ve got the chops to sing for your proposal, serenading your lover is a unique way to pop the question. Whether you have an original song or covering a song that is special to you both, singing to your significant other is always a memorable moment that you both won’t forget.

4. Animal Awe – How about tying the ring on your pet’s collar? When your partner calls your family pet, they’ll receive an unexpected surprise.

5. Revisit a memorable place – Is there a location or spot that is distinctly unique to you as a couple? Those places will always serve as a memorable moment that is perfect to get down on one knee.

No matter how you propose, it’s the significance of the moment that will always be remembered. If you’re still looking for the perfect ring, visit Jeff Cooper Designs to find a ring that is as bold as your love.

simplicity, sparkle & shine: the christmas gift guide

Happy holidays! Each year we do a little shopping, focusing on the witty, thoughtful and elegant things that we’d love to give and receive.

Of course the best things in life aren’t things at all, so we’ll begin with a link to our favorite charity, Cycle for Survival.

Secondly, can we agree to forget ugly Christmas sweaters? Instead let’s start a gorgeous holiday sweater trend.

Here’s one for him. One for her. For the girls. And for the boys. This proves once and for all that adorable and elegant can totally coexist.

We love gifts with a cause, so check out this stationery that benefits Sanctuary for Families.

Is someone you know getting engaged? This Kate Spade ring holder is perfect. We can imagine a hopeful boyfriend wrapping it up and when she opens it, he’s down on one knee with the ring to go with it! Lovely.

Got kids on your list? Nothing feels as special as a personalized gift. Make it easy on yourself, and go here.

Got a fashionable lady-who-has-everything? Light up the room with these message candles by Kate Spade. They’re the real deal: witty, sleek and soy!

Know any at-home mixologists? These cocktail napkins take it to a whole other level stylewise.

This is intriguing: it holds your technology on your dashboard, so it’s perfect for using your phone as a GPS. Very budget-friendly and who wouldn’t want one?

And lastly, there are a few more charity-based gifts that caught our eye. Kiva gives loans to women to develop businesses, and when they pay back, you get to invest in another woman entrepreneur. Amazing!

And World Bicycle Relief gives people wheels, who really need them. Very cool charity, don’t you think?

We love gifts that make the world a better place, don’t you? Keep spreading the joy and kindness everyone, it makes a difference!

December is the most popular month for engagements, so what are you waiting for?

If you decide to get engaged for the holidays, congratulations! Here are a few ideas to inspire you.

The Knot has a list of cute proposal ideas here. And right here are 50 more. Still not sure how to go about it?

The most important part of a great proposal is finding a way to make it special and exciting, whatever that means to you and your love.

You don’t need a gimmick, but you’ll tell the story again and again, so think it over before you pop the question. You’ll know you have the right idea when it’s completely personal and unique to you and your partner.

Prince William popped the question on African Safari. Kanye West rented out a stadium. You might return to the place where you first met, or do what one of our customers did, and attach the ring to a beloved pet.

Whatever you decide, have a ring picked out, wait for the right moment, and feel free to be as over the top romantic as you want.

Good luck! And don’t forget to share your proposals with us, we love them!

Romantic Proposals & Masala Chai Tea

As St. Francis Xavier said, “Be great in little things.”

And this is what we’re meditating on this week. The love you pour into little moments, small gestures, fine details, it all adds up to who you are and what you stand for.

Let’s make this weekend ridiculously amazing, one little thing at a time!

Like this: this week we heard from Ryan, who wrote, “She said… yes! I just got engaged last week with a beautiful custom ring you all made.” Our featured image is his amazing, heartfelt proposal.

And here’s the ring, nestled in a red, red rose!

So gorgeous, right?

Now, let’s take a moment to make it feel like a fall weekend from heaven.

Who needs a pumpkin spice latte when you can create something spicy and warm to hold and savor: A lovely cup of chai tea!

Want more warm, cozy love? Carrot soup is awesome.

Okay, one more! Vegan carrot cake with coconut whipped cream. Amazing and seasonal.

Are you too tired to go out? Got kids? Don’t give up on romance! Try this adorable “Date Night In.” Then, try this one.

Actually want to go out and feel that crisp air? Here are NY’s food events this fall. Yum.

Getting married? We never get over ombre wedding details. Never, ever. It’s so pretty! The pink is perfect with these rose gold Jeff Cooper designs.

And check this rose gold stunner, a recent custom design for one of our couples!

We love this refined, simple cake topper, too. Cute, but not cutesy.

Congrats to the beautiful Jeff Cooper couple Ryan and Jessica!
