It’s fast approaching the most wonderful time of the year as Christmas sets the ideal romantic backdrop for a surprise festive proposal. If you’re looking for inspiration to ensure a Christmas your loved one will never forget, check out our five Christmas proposal ideas.

Personalised Advent Calendar

Set the scene for romance during the entire month of December by custom-making an advent calendar just for your partner. Include some of their favorite items, sweet treats, and heartfelt hand-written love notes before the big surprise of a Christmas morning proposal on the 25th.

A Stocking Surprise

A romantic way to propose is by incorporating it into a holiday tradition. Place the ring box deep at the bottom of a Christmas stocking hanging by the fireplace, and wait for your partner to find it to ensure a Christmas Day they’ll never soon forget.

A Christmas Cracker

A more quirky way to propose is with a Christmas cracker to remember. Just be sure to create your own custom cracker with care to avoid any unwanted surprises such as the engagement ring flying across the room!

A Very Special Bauble

A memorable way to propose is by finding a beautiful or personalised bauble for your tree. Add it to your Christmas tree at just the right time (or the night before) and tell your partner to take a closer look for any new decorations. By the time they realise what is going on, you’ll already be on one knee!

Big Box/Little Box


It’s a timeless classic that resembles a game of Russian Dolls. Place a comically large gift-wrapped box under the tree with multiple smaller boxes inside. You can even leave some romantic clues as to what is coming to help build the excitement.
