Engagement Season Gift Guide

When the weather warms up, we start seeing more and more celebratory posts about couples who have decided to tie the knot. We don’t know if it’s because of the sunny days or if the corresponding wedding season has people feeling romantic, but either way we’re overjoyed whenever we see two people decide to spend the rest of their lives together. It fills our hearts with the kind of happiness and hope that can only come from seeing loved ones in their most blissful moments.
To show our excitement and our love for a newly-engaged couple, we typically like to give a gift. Something small, but meaningful, that signifies the beginning of their new life together. If you’re looking for something similar, something unique but sentimental, to gift to an engaged friend or family member, we have a few ideas!
Engagement Gift Ideas
Share a plant in a ceramic pot
What better to signify the growth of their love than a plant that will grow with them? Choosing a hardy plant (something like a ZZ plant or a succulent) that doesn’t add another responsibility to their plate is the most lifestyle-conscious way to give this gift. Picking out a stunning handmade ceramic pot to house the plant is the cherry on top. It makes this gift into something that is not only organic and symbolic, but also will become a cherished piece of their home.

Start their dinnerware collection
From plates and silverware to chargers and vintage napkins, you can’t go wrong with a gift that allows the engaged couple to host dinner parties and gatherings together. Unique, vintage pieces will show the couple that you understand them and their style, and you’ll know that you’re giving a gift that can last generations.
Choose a signature scent
Whether you’re with the couple when they get engaged, or you attend an engagement party at a later date, choosing a candle or fragrance that can bring them back to that magical day is a surefire win. We suggest choosing something deeper, more romantic - perhaps with a woody undertone? Then, the couple can light it during date night and be transported back to the first day that they celebrated their decision to get married.

Upgrade their office
Lean into the “adultness” of getting engaged, and purchase the couple updated, monogrammed stationary for their office. Whether it’s a journal or a planner, a notepad or a customized return address label, they’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness and see the gift as a step forward into their future. And, let’s face it, they’ll need to be as organized as they can as they plan their wedding! You’re just doing them a favor.
Newly engaged couples want nothing more than to have their friends and family around them to celebrate their love and stoke excitement for the future. However, if you want to give a little extra, choosing a gift that highlights their special bond, their unique style, and the road ahead is the way to go. When in doubt, a gift from the heart will always have the desired impact.
