How to hide and insure

[dieseluser07]

Im taking an engagement ring on holiday.

No travel insurance seems to cover for items more than 300 pound in your luggage should it go missing.

I was going to hide it in socks in the suitcase but now i dont want to take the risk incase it gets lost, ring cost 1800.

So my only other option is hand luggage which we share, so unable to hide it.

Anyone got any ideas on how to insure it or hide in hand luggage, my home insurance is due for renewal in a month so pointless adding it on there.

In your washbag? Put the box in your hold luggage.

ETA - Hope she says yes, in which case congratulations!!

If you have home contents insurance check that it can be covered there, suggest that you add it as a specified Item

Blimey. There's optimism.

My advice is not to propose to someone on the first night. Enjoy your holiday, try to pull a different girl each night and, if you must, offer to marry the last one. If she's a definite no, then you can always go back and find one of the mid-holiday women and ask them, but if you commit on day one, you're narrowing your options somewhat.

Swallow it?


Check following poo's carefully?

Ditch the box and simply pop it in an envelope on the inside pocket of your jacket... jacket comes off at security, will pass through x-ray machine... it will be fine..

Just added it to my home insurance and only cost 3 pound to cover it while we are away, so i can leave it in my suitcase thank god, i was going to put it inside a pair of socks??

Don't take the real engagement ring. Take a cheap £50 one as a "place-holder" instead.

In fact, don't buy the proper engagement ring until she has said "yes"......

I know she will say yes

And theres a 30 day return should she not say yes

Keep it on your person or in a hidden travel money belt.

Proposing on holiday is such a generic idea though. Better to hint you're going to, get her hopes up. Then don't.

Treat em mean

Or propose in a completely bizarre situation like she's doing the washing up or ironing. Lets her know, nothing will change when she gets married to you


You're Welcome

I know the PH massive will be shocked but my wife never goes in my wallet even if I give her permission, she brings the wallet to me so I can lend her our joint debit card or to give the kids some cash.

IF yours to be is the same then just wrap in some tissue and put it in your wallet.

As long as you can wait 2 or 3 days into the holiday this has no downsides. It will also give her a funny story to tell to her friends.

A ring from a ring, you can just imagine how funny that will be.

Don't put it in the hold luggage, imagine the bag went missing or got damaged in transit.

Put it inside your wallet or something, that way you'll have it with you all the time.

And if you time it right you can get her to stick her ring finger up your bottom during love making and you can slip it straight on. She won't know until you point it out to her after the event.

That will surprise her

Did just this to propose in Sweden. Keep it on you would be my suggestion in a zipped jacket pocket etc out of the box.

Box can go elsewhere if you want to take with you (I didn't)

Good luck!

And try TH March for realistically priced insurance. Can insure it there without OH finding out etc.
