<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nThe old adage is true \u2014 the way to the heart is through the stomach. Chances are, there will be a lot of romantic dinners ahead for the lovebirds. If they\u2019re moving in together for the first time, they\u2019ll probably also look forward to breaking in their newly shared kitchen with some home-cooked meals. Consider a food- or beverage-focused gift they\u2019ll use for years to come. You can even give your gift a personal touch by offering home cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Cake Stand and Cake<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your friends are hosting an\u00a0engagement party<\/a>, be the beloved guest who shows up with cake. Bake your favorite recipe, or whip up some cupcakes and place them on a fabulous cake stand the couple can keep. If you aren\u2019t a baker, store-bought also works. Either way, they may just end up using your gift on their wedding day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n2. Your Favorite Cookbook<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re a chef yourself, grab a new copy of your favorite cookbook. Mark your favorite recipes with Post-Its describing your thoughts on the recipes or why you love the dishes. You can include personal notes like \u201cPerfect rainy-night meal\u201d or \u201cDidn\u2019t have sesame oil, so I used olive. Tasted great!\u201d Your friends will think of you each time they crack it open. Not to mention, your helpful hints might save them a lot of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n3. Coffee Lover\u2019s Gift Basket<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your friends are coffee drinkers, chances are they\u2019ll love anything related to their daily brew. This doesn\u2019t mean you need to buy a fancy new coffee maker. Chances are, they\u2019ll put that on their wedding registry<\/a>. Instead, get them a small French press or cold brew maker. Make it a package by including a bag of coffee and matching mugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n4. Champagne Flutes and a Bottle of Bubbly<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe happy couple will have plenty to celebrate in the coming months. Inspire their many toasts with a DIY gift set \u2014 a pair of Champagne flutes packaged with a bottle of bubbly and your favorite chocolates. It\u2019s a romantic evening in a box. You can also substitute for wine glasses and a bottle of vintage wine if your friends are wine-lovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n5. Custom Cutting Board and Artisanal Cheese<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nCouples who are always entertaining will love a custom-engraved cheese board. Add a special message or simply engrave it with the couple\u2019s names (and add their wedding date if you like). Round out the gift with a block of your favorite cheese and some summer sausage. For an extra special engagement gift, bring your favorite bottle of wine that pairs well with the cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experiential Engagement Gift Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Lesbian](\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/holding-hands-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFor the couple who wants for nothing, gift an activity. Chances are, they\u2019ll receive plenty of wedding gifts, so they\u2019ll welcome a unique experience. Whether it\u2019s wedding-related, a special date night, or the perfect stress reliever, help them create more happy memories before saying \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n6. Engagement Photo Shoot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBook your friend and their newly betrothed an engagement photo shoot session<\/a>. Wrap the card in a gift box with a pretty picture frame. If you\u2019re handy behind the lens and have a nice camera, you can offer your services instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n7. Pre-Wedding Workout Class<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBeing engaged is one of the happiest \u2014 but often most stressful \u2014 times in life. Give your friend a gift card to one of their favorite workout classes to de-stress. If they’re into yoga, head to a local studio. Or, if they prefer a heavy sweat, consider a spin class or kickboxing. You can also purchase a gift certificate to your gym and invite them to join for a workout class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n8. Design the Wedding Website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your friends aren\u2019t particularly great with computers, you can offer to design their wedding website\u00a0for them. Just ask for their wedding details and some photos, and you can create a few options using Joy’s hand-crafted design templates<\/a>. They\u2019ll appreciate that you put in the sweat equity, and it\u2019s a completely free gift if you\u2019re tight for cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEngagement Gift Ideas They\u2019ll Really Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Thank](\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Personal-gift-Ideas-1024x684.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhile we all love a pretty cake knife or sculptural wine decanter, they only get broken out a few times a year. These timely, practical engagement gifts are sure to get a lot of use. And, useful doesn\u2019t have to equal boring. Add a personal touch by turning a practical gift, like a wedding planner, into a custom gift box complete with pretty pens and a handmade gift card for \u201cone Sunday planning session with wine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n9. Wedding Planner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWedding planning is much more fun with a beautiful planner. The couple will absolutely use it often, and you can package it with a nice set of pens. Pick one in their wedding colors or opt for a personalized wedding planner on Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n10. Thank You Cards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFrom wedding shower gifts<\/a> to wedding gifts<\/a> and every sweet gesture in between, the couple will be sending a lot of thank you notes<\/a>. A beautiful box of thank you cards is a great engagement party gift they\u2019ll need right away. Want to really make it personalized? Include a sheet of return address labels with their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n11. Ring Holder<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA ring holder or jewelry dish is a must for every kitchen countertop. Even the most glam couples need a place to stash their rings while they wash the dishes. For the modern couple, consider a sculptural ring holder. You can also consider choosing a more traditional ceramic ring dish and personalizing any option with their monogram or wedding date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n12. Add a Personal Touch to a Simple Gift<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGifting can be tricky, especially for the couple that has everything. But the perfect gift is anything that shows you\u2019ve put time and effort in selecting it. Give each keepsake or experience a personal spin by including something only you know the couple will love, like a shared passion or an inside joke. It sounds clich\u00e9, but it really is the thought that counts. If you took a terrible yoga class together, gift them a spinning session with a note saying you hope this is more zen. If you\u2019re a world-class chef, bake them something and include a handwritten recipe card. That special attention will be appreciated and remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beautiful box of thank you cards is a great engagement party gift they\u2019ll need right away. Want to really make it personalized? Include a sheet of return address labels with their names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n11. Ring Holder<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA ring holder or jewelry dish is a must for every kitchen countertop. Even the most glam couples need a place to stash their rings while they wash the dishes. For the modern couple, consider a sculptural ring holder. You can also consider choosing a more traditional ceramic ring dish and personalizing any option with their monogram or wedding date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n12. Add a Personal Touch to a Simple Gift<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nGifting can be tricky, especially for the couple that has everything. But the perfect gift is anything that shows you\u2019ve put time and effort in selecting it. Give each keepsake or experience a personal spin by including something only you know the couple will love, like a shared passion or an inside joke. It sounds clich\u00e9, but it really is the thought that counts. If you took a terrible yoga class together, gift them a spinning session with a note saying you hope this is more zen. If you\u2019re a world-class chef, bake them something and include a handwritten recipe card. That special attention will be appreciated and remembered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFor the couple who wants for nothing, gift an activity. Chances are, they\u2019ll receive plenty of wedding gifts, so they\u2019ll welcome a unique experience. Whether it\u2019s wedding-related, a special date night, or the perfect stress reliever, help them create more happy memories before saying \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Engagement Photo Shoot<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBook your friend and their newly betrothed an engagement photo shoot session<\/a>. Wrap the card in a gift box with a pretty picture frame. If you\u2019re handy behind the lens and have a nice camera, you can offer your services instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n7. Pre-Wedding Workout Class<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBeing engaged is one of the happiest \u2014 but often most stressful \u2014 times in life. Give your friend a gift card to one of their favorite workout classes to de-stress. If they’re into yoga, head to a local studio. Or, if they prefer a heavy sweat, consider a spin class or kickboxing. You can also purchase a gift certificate to your gym and invite them to join for a workout class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n8. Design the Wedding Website<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf your friends aren\u2019t particularly great with computers, you can offer to design their wedding website\u00a0for them. Just ask for their wedding details and some photos, and you can create a few options using Joy’s hand-crafted design templates<\/a>. They\u2019ll appreciate that you put in the sweat equity, and it\u2019s a completely free gift if you\u2019re tight for cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEngagement Gift Ideas They\u2019ll Really Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhile we all love a pretty cake knife or sculptural wine decanter, they only get broken out a few times a year. These timely, practical engagement gifts are sure to get a lot of use. And, useful doesn\u2019t have to equal boring. Add a personal touch by turning a practical gift, like a wedding planner, into a custom gift box complete with pretty pens and a handmade gift card for \u201cone Sunday planning session with wine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n9. Wedding Planner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWedding planning is much more fun with a beautiful planner. The couple will absolutely use it often, and you can package it with a nice set of pens. Pick one in their wedding colors or opt for a personalized wedding planner on Etsy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
