 Well in that case, I don't think there's any problems with asking for that as your Christmas present. :)

About a month ago he asked me specifically "Do you want an engagement ring for Christmas?" I answered yes, because I would have been lying otherwise. Now that it is time to make a Christmas purchase, he is asking what I want. I did answer that I didn't need a present. I do not want to put any pressure on him. I was wondering if I did the right thing or if he was looking for reassurance?

 Hello Anon, I think you should, as Stina says, find out where your relationship is going first before you commit to an engagement. If your b/f has never mentioned getting engaged then it wouldn't be appropriate to ask for an engagement ring. he might feel things are going too fast. If he has mentioned an engagement then I still dont think you should mention it. Just let things happen naturally and when he's ready he'll suprise you! How about a pair of ear rings instead! Good luck.

Hi Anon,
Well, in my opinion, it would seem more appropriate to have real talk about where things are going first. Then maybe you won't have to ask for one (or make your boyfriend feel pressured in the relationship).
Take care.
