I thought that was a little tacky but to each his own...

I actually got lavaliered this August. I had to educate my boyfriend on the whole process. (
Lots of hint dropping...) When he heard what it signifies (here it's not so much "pre-engagement" as "I value you as much as, if not more than, I value my fraternity") he immediately wanted to get one for me. But he wanted my help in the process to end with telling him what it all meant.
So he got his brothers to help him find a lavalier, and one brother actually offered the lavalier he had bought for, but never given to, his now ex-girlfriend. Thankfully, my boyfriend knew enough to not take his brother up on that offer!
