Couples massage
Let’s face it – the months of wedding planning can be stressful and a couples massage is the perfect escape. Just grab a gift card to a local spa and they can book an appointment when it’s most convenient for their hours.
Honeymoon background
If the couple has established a wedding registry and decided on a destination for their post-wedding escape, consider contributing to their honeymoon fund for a unique and very useful gift. It may not fall under the category of an engagement gift that you can wrap, but you can be sure it won’t go unused.
Custom printing
This truly unique engagement gift idea is perfect for the art and home decor lover couple. Search online or commission a local artist to create a print that includes your partner’s names, silhouettes, or hand-drawn portraits for some adorable wall art that you can hang in your love nest.
Personalized gift
If you’re looking for engagement gifts for your best friend, take the basic gift up a notch with something personalized for the newly engaged. You can go with the couple’s names, a monogram, or a unique last name initial (if appropriate for the couple) and add it to a photo frame, coffee mugs, cutting board, blanket, champagne glasses – whatever to be.
Date Night
Remind them to keep dating during the wedding planning season with a gift card for dinner and a movie, a wine bar and art museum, a brewery, and tickets to a live show…. the options are endless. They’ll love any excuse to steal time from the two of you, and your thoughtfulness won’t go unnoticed.
