The weeks between Thanksgiving (sometimes Halloween!) and New Years Day are “engagement season” in the wedding world. If you’re here reading this post, you likely have a friend – or two! – who’ve recently gotten engaged. And, like the good friend you are, you’re searching high and low for amazing engagement gifts! Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered!

Shopping for engagement gifts can be tough. And shopping for engagement gifts your friends will actually like might be even harder! While I am a fan of personalized gifts, I think those items really need to be thoughtful. Who needs another cheeseboard? Okay, let’s get into some of the amazing engagement gifts I’ve found for you!
Couples love a fun cookbook! I am personally partial to Cooking for Two and The Newlywed Cookbook. Or if your friend(s) love a particular food blogger – Gaby Dalkin! – try their cookbook. Bonus: cookbooks are often great kitchen-decor pieces!
I am of the opinion that you can never have too many ring dishes! One by the bathroom sink(s), one near the kitchen sink – but not too close! – and one on your nightstand. I love this dog ring holder for all of your dog-loving friends! (You can also get a cat version!)
Special champagne flutes are such a fun, bubbly way to celebrate your newly-engaged friends! They can use your champagne flutes to celebrate their engagement, on their wedding night, and every anniversary and special moment thereafter! I am partial to Waterford (my grandma has so much!) but if that’s not in your budget, the Tiffany flutes are special, cost-effective way to gift your friends.
Stationery is a fun way to give a personalized gift if you must personalize! Custom thank you notes, a funky note pad, or a return address stamp for the many envelopes your friends will be addressing soon enough!
