31 Best Engagement Gifts Any Couple Will Swoon Over
Putting a ring on it is always cause for celebration, but finding the best engagement gifts can be challenging. Newly engaged couples are often bombarded with presents leading up to their wedding days, many of which are impersonal and impractical (though well-intended). The best gifts are the ones that take into consideration the couple’s passions and personalities, making them especially thoughtful.
Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a small fortune to find the perfect gift. In fact, some of the best engagement gifts can be found for under $50. These include everything from personalized engagement ring dishes and decadent chocolate gifts to romantic scented candles and heart-shaped photo frames. Alternatively, you may choose to spring on something that the future newlyweds will cherish forever, such as a set of crystal champagne flutes, a stunning scrapbook to help them preserve these special memories, or a gift card to a subscription service that sends them unique engagement gifts every month.
From photogenic finds like polished marble cheese boards engraved with the couple’s names or engagement date and fresh flowers to fashion-forward home decor and meaningful keepsakes, read on for some of the best engagement gift ideas for your favorite happy couple from retailers such as Nordstrom, Amazon, Etsy, Harry & David, Artifact Uprising, and more.
