NIFR - Sister's getting engaged!

Hi Ladies! My sister's boyfriend called over the weekend and he is proposing on Friday! DH and I live 8+ hours a way, but we are making the drive to go suprise them after because her boyfriend has arranged for family/friends to get together for drinks after he pops the question.  My sister has been a rock for me through our IF journey and I want to do something special for her.  I want to get her a cute engagement gift basket of things related to weddings etc.  I was thinking champagne, wedding magazines, ring pops...what else? Any ideas would be awesome!! :) So glad the wedding planning for her will be a distraction during our IVF cycle, wait for PGS etc.

    When I got engaged I had a friend get me a year subscription to a bridal magazine and a wedding planning book, which was great. Congrats in advance to your sister, how exciting!!!

    Awesome ideas! I think I will get her a manicure gift certificate...SMART! I had thoguht about a wedding planner but I remember being kind of picky with the one I wanted. I might tell her I'll take her to get the one she wants.

    I think that sounds wonderful. I was at Barnes and Noble today and they had some awesome wedding planning binders. I'm actually going to get one for my BFF who is getting married later this year. I bet that would be a nice addition.
