engagement gifts

Do you know a couple who recently got engaged? How exciting for them! Even though you’re celebrating with them, know that you’re not obligated to give a gift. But if you’d like to, it’s a thoughtful idea to give the gift soon after the couple announces their engagement. Or, if they’ll be having an engagement party, you could bring the gift with you. If you wait too long, it may be unclear whether the gift is an engagement gift or a wedding gift, which makes the task of writing thank-you notes a bit muddled. 

Regardless of timing, we’re sure the happy couple will be more than appreciative of your kind gesture. That brings us to… what to give. Sometimes it can be difficult to decide what to give as an engagement gift. That’s especially the case if the couple already lives together and seems to have everything they could possibly need! 

But we’ve got your back with our list of the best engagement gifts for the couple who has it all. If you’re looking for some gift-giving inspiration, you’ve come to the right place! 

vow books

An engagement gift doesn’t have to be lavish. Especially if you’re on a budget, something simple and straight from the heart will do. So if you’re in search of budget engagement gift ideas for the couple who has it all, we think this pocket journal is spot on. It’s the ideal spot for the couple to jot down their vows, which are most likely to pop into their heads on the subway or in the shower, right? Just be sure to gift one notebook to each person so they can keep their vows a secret!
