It's a week of elaborate Christmas gifts for GH's Nikolas and Emily, starting with a gorgeous diamond ring he gives her to make their engagement official.

"They're in Wyndemere in front of a Christmas tree," sets up Natalia Livingston (Emily). "Nikolas is playing around with Emily, joking that he's looking for a box in the shape of a toaster. She knows he's kidding, obviously. He's not going to give her a toaster."

Finally Nikolas presents Emily with the ice. "It's actually not the shape of a ring box. It's a little longer, so Emily doesn't know what it is," continues Livingston. "When she opens it up there's a ring. A huge ring. Everyone in the crew was walking around going 'Oh, my God! I can't believe how big it is.' Emily is overwhelmed and so happy. Nikolas is her love."

After Nikolas slips the ring on Emily's finger, she presents him with an even bigger surprise: the deed to Wyndemere. "Nikolas didn't look at the fine print when he was signing the papers to sell his home. So he didn't know who the buyer was," notes Livingston. "Emily eplains that she bought it for him using some of the money Lila put in her trust fund. She arranged the whole thing with Aleis. Nikolas is overwhelmed and touched by what Emily has done for him. She's given his childhood home back to him."

It's the perfect Christmas for the happy couple. "Their love for each other could not be stronger," gushes Livingston. "They are so looking forwrad to spending their lives together."

On a soap? Good luck.
