In Malay culture, as in some other cultures, gifts are exchanged during engagement (bertunang) and marriage solemnization (nikah) ceremony. The gifts (hantaran) are usually decorated and fashioned into beautiful shapes. It is called as "gubahan". The number of gifts to be exchanged are agreed to before the ceremony, and traditionally odd numbers are chosen. For our engagement day, 5 vs 7 gifts were selected.
For him:
-Sirih junjung
-Sejadah
-Cupcakes
-Chocolates
-Perfume set
-Baju melayu, songket, baju melayu buttons
-Fruits
For her:
-Ring
-Shoes
-Perfume set
-Telekung, sejadah
-Kain baju lace
About "gubahan" for "hantaran", I wouldn't have engaged with the service of gubahan professional either a freelancer or someone working in the bridal industry. Because I've decorated my "hantaran" by myself : ) I just bought 7 round gold trays at Small Garden with lace tray cloth which is in brown gold colour (bought at SSF), some artificial flowers which is in blue colour and also the basket with ribbons. The tray looks like modern tray and very lightweight if compared to traditional tray that made of tembaga.
