Engagement gifts are an opportunity to celebrate one of the biggest moments in a couple’s life. It’s such a huge event, and you want to give a gift that is commemorative, special and unique. We’re here to help. We’ve compiled 15 of the best engagement gifts for couples. No matter if you are shopping for engagement gifts for him or for her, we chose gifts that can be personalized and that commemorate the couple’s engagement date and celebrate their love.
Best Engagement Gifts for Couples
1. Personalized Picture Frame
A personalized photo frame is an elegant way for the couple to commemorate their engagement date. We found two great picture frames at Bed Bath & Beyond that can be personalized with the couple’s name and engagement date – one with a graceful script font and one with a trendy shiplap design.
For a delicate and classic option, try this Kate Spade photo frame from Macy’s.
2. Personalized His and Her Mugs
This is a fun way to celebrate a happy couple. And you have lots of options. If they love the outdoors, get his and hers personalized camping mugs. If their style is elegant and refined, get this personalized mug set with their names written in a bold, stylized font. If the couple likes cute and romantic, they’ll love this ‘Blown Away By Love’ personalized mug set.
3. Picnic Basket Set
Most newly engaged couples just want more excuses to spend time together. A relaxing picnic is peaceful and romantic. You can go with a traditional handwoven picnic basket set or a modern insulated bag with room for ice and drinks. Either way, you’re giving the couple the gift of a special time together.
