Most women (or men) probably prefer to get a traditional diamond (or some jewel) in a box when it comes to engagements. But there are also couples who prefer to do something unique for their marriage proposals and connected to that, get something that is more personal and different than a jewel. Geeky couples in particular probably are looking for something different and tailor fit to their interests and if they’re LEGO enthusiasts, then this would be interesting to them.

A video posted on the LEGO South Africa account shows how you can create your own DIY ring box. It doesn’t seem to be any special, new LEGO set that you will have to purchase in order to make this special box. The man demonstrates how you can use spare bricks to build your own ring box, although you probably have to pause the video a few times as there are no written instructions on how to do it step by step (although there are step-by-step screenshots).
The tutorial walks you through the whole process of constructing a ring box. He even makes a tiny, plastic ring to show that it can fit inside and it will not fall out no matter how many times you shake it. The main colors used in the video are green and yellow but in the end he shows that there are countless customizations that you can do by using different colors and pieces, although you will have to figure it out on your own.
If the couple are both LEGO fans, this will be an interesting way to have a unique proposal. And even if you have an actual diamond or jeweled ring with which to propose, putting it inside a DIY box made from LEGO bricks is pretty sweet.
