The 33 Best Engagement Gifts To Congratulate The Happy Couple

Tasty gifts are always a good choice for foodie couples. Take it up a notch with Boarderie’s customized and beautifully hand-arranged cheese and charcuterie board. Available in three sizes, the package contains several artisanal cheeses, meats, dried fruits, nuts and other accoutrement, all served on an acacia wood board and topped with the couple’s initials—in cheddar cheese, of course.

For a gift that is equal parts elegant, thoughtful and practical, look no further than Savor’s Wedding Keepsake Box. The deceptively compact and minimal box is specifically designed to make it easy to organize all their special items from the ceremony: The designated drawers have space to hold the veil, bow tie, garter and more, and the vertical file section can store invitations, greeting cards and other documents.

A lovely piece of art always makes for a great gift, and a classy addition to a home. This particular print by a local Philadelphia artist takes it one step further by letting you customize a photo of a street sign with the couple’s names and milestone dates—and for an extra fee, you can choose to add in a symbolic frame, too.

They’re probably going to be receiving quite a bit of bubbly, so why not gift the newly engaged couple a beautiful set of champagne flutes to get the party started? This elegantly designed pair by Nude Glass’ artists features a unique texture and comes in Dusty Rose and Clear. You can be sure it’ll get plenty of use long after the wedding day has passed.

There will be times when the future bride and groom will need to remove their rings to keep them safe—for example, if they’re on an adventurous excursion on their honeymoon. This thoughtfully handcrafted double ring case by Ribbons & Rings is inspired by the Colorado mountains (when closed, the couple can see the peaks’ outline). The case is both elegant and easily stows away in carry-on or personal bags.

The happy couple is in for a lifetime of dates, so why not supply them with everything they need for years of al fresco lunches, picnics under the stars and sunset beach dinners? This picnic basket from West Elm that’s loaded with dishes, utensils and a wine opener is all they need to keep memorable dates on the schedule all year round.

This custom stamp is both practical and thoughtful, and seeing how much the newly engaged couple has on their plate now, it might just become their most-used gift throughout the wedding planning process. Between save-the-dates, wedding invites and thank-you notes, this custom wax seal set featuring their initials or a personalized logo will make adding a touch of elegance to their correspondence that much easier.

The bride-to-be will need to show off her ring a lot in upcoming months—let’s make sure it’s sparkling. This set of two handy jewelry-cleaning sticks (from Connoisseurs, whose gemstone cleaner is among our favorite best jewelry cleaners) makes the entire ritual of cleaning their diamonds less of a hassle—and is something that can be stashed in a purse or easily packed for travel.

They’re probably going to need a place to put their rings (and trinkets and keys), whether by the sink or on the nightstand. This porcelain tray by Rifle Paper Co. features vibrant, metallic-accented illustrations of some of the most iconic city landmarks, making it perfect for jet-setting couples.

This card game exceeds its stature and price in its usefulness, coming especially in handy when the couple needs inspo for date nights. The deck comes with three types of challenge cards that your adventurous giftees can combine to “generate” a unique date; there over 100,000 possible combinations so the pair won’t run out of ideas anytime soon.

Competitive newlyweds-to-be will appreciate a sturdy set of pickleball paddles. This made-to-order pair from Recess—which have a fiberglass surface, sweat-proof foam grip and edge guard—certainly fit the bill. The cherry on top is that you can customize them with your choice of one of Recess’ eye-catching patterns on one side and your choice of text on the other.

If you’re very close friends with one or both members of the engaged couple, you might want to gift something extra thoughtful and unique. We recommend The Night Sky’s custom print: The company uses the exact time and location of one special moment from the couple’s life to create a star map of the sky as it would have looked from that particular time and place. For the print’s surface, you can choose from museum-grade foil, glow-in-the-dark paper or premium canvas.

Selfies on your phone are fun, but how often do you actually look back at your camera roll? An instant camera feels cute and nostalgic, plus it dispenses a photo that the recipients can frame, pin on a board, stick to their fridge or keep on their desk for daily viewing. It makes any couple’s photo feel infinitely more romantic.

For a gift that will complement the couple’s home bar, but one that also has an extra-special touch, go for these hand-etched whiskey glasses. You can choose from over a dozen different designs based on your recipients’ hobbies and interests, from the mountains pictured above to constellations to the Chicago skyline.

Thoughtful gifts don’t have to cost a fortune, and this champagne-scented candle by Homesick is proof. It checks all the boxes with its celebratory theme, from the bubbly scent to the customizable packaging that allows you to fill in the names of the engaged couple directly on the box.

Bringing festive blooms to the engagement party is a foolproof way to say congratulations if you’re pressed for time. We recommend a statement bouquet like The Bouqs’ Wild About U arrangement, which includes alstroemeria, solidago and aster stems mixed with cute succulents (and the latter are ready to plant).

For the newly engaged couple, counting down to the big day is half the fun (and sometimes, half the stress). Nonetheless, this page-a-day calendar is a fun way to track the days leading up to the nuptials. The first day can be customized with a personal message and you have the option for each page to include a love-inspired quote or just the numbers for a clean, minimal design.

Discovering the true essence of your partner takes a lifetime. Gift your best couple friends this smartly designed card game, which facilitates that intimate process with prompts that inspire sharing silly memories and deep, dark fears alike.

A personalized gift is always a nice touch, and this matchbox designed to feature the couple’s initials is sure to claim a front-and-center spot on their coffee table. We also love the clever play on words.

Little will motivate the couple to write their own vows more than a beautifully customized notebook that they can keep forever. You can choose from a variety of styles or personalize it with their names, wedding date, preferred colors and more.

The giddy couple will no doubt appreciate a nice bottle of bubbly to accompany their festivities (or sparkling rosé, for a fun twist). Or you can level it up with this personalized bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, which features a fun etching of clinking wine glasses and your choice of three lines of heartfelt text.

You could instead choose to present the couple’s favorite wine (or liquor) in this meticulously crafted beverage box from Artificer Wood Works. You can personalize the front of the lid with their names, plus the date and location of their engagement. There’s also the option to have a personalized message engraved on the inside of the lid.

These classy scalloped table napkins bordered with a pop of color will add a distinguishing touch to the couple’s dinner table. You can also have them personalized with a colored monogram of your choice—from regular block print to ones styled with golf clubs or pickleball paddles.

Sometimes the most heartfelt gifts are also among the simplest. Take, for example, this personalized engagement map print, which goes beyond wall art with its watercolor-style map pinpointing the location of the proposal. The artist will also customize the print with the couple’s first names, the event (whether it’s “engaged” or “met”), the special date and your frame color of choice.

Perfect for the couple that appreciates a romantic meal and hosting friends, this memory book by Jacques Pépin lets them keep track of their favorite recipes in a single place.

If you’re not sure what to get the adventurous foodie couple, why not let them choose? InKind’s Restaurant Pass works like a gift certificate—except you can customize it with a heartfelt message and the amount of your choice, and the couple gets to choose where they dine. The pass gets emailed either to you or directly to your recipients, and from there, they can choose to redeem the pass at any of inKind’s partner dining establishments across the country.

If the bride and groom-to-be are outdoor adventure seekers, this camping survival kit will be a godsend for all their future excursions. It contains all the safety supplies and essentials they’ll need, like a four-hour–burn beeswax candle, five fire starters, an aluminum whistle, a precision compass, repair and first aid tape, and so much more. Better yet, all of these items are packed inside small canisters that go into the aluminum tube that doubles as a flashlight.

There will likely be plenty of game nights for the happy couple for years to come. Add an elevated version of a classic to their game room with Mark And Graham’s Deluxe Monopoly Game Set, which is beautifully crafted from walnut wood.
