What to Buy as an Engagement Gift
- Weddings and all the events that typically accompany them, like engagement parties, wedding-dress shopping outings, bridal showers, bachelor and bachelorette parties and honeymoons, are ones that the couple will likely want to remember forever. Buy the couple an elegant picture frame or a nice photo album so that they can keep their beautiful memories fresh.
- With all those impending wedding events, buy the couple some information to help them with all the planning and customs that await them. Consider books like wedding planners, wedding organizers, wedding journals, vow writing guides, cookbooks, honeymoon planners and volumes of love poetry. Another option would be a compilation of romantic songs that the couple could enjoy listening to or select to use at the wedding.
- Give the couple some additional food for thought in the form of some symbolic gifts. Consider packets of flower seeds and a trowel, a tree sapling or a new copy of the Bible, Torah, Quran, Vedas or other holy book that is important to the couple. You can also get a nice cover for the holy book with the couple's names embossed.
- Buy the couple something special to eat or drink that they can share between the two of them or with their friends and family, too. Consider a nice bottle of wine, a bottle of champagne, a box of chocolate truffles, some chocolate-dipped strawberries and chocolate-covered almonds or espresso beans. Other options include a set of pancake or bread mixes, dinner kits and sushi kits.
- You might want to consider an engagement gift that is a pampering treat for the couple and allows them to spend some romantic time together. If money is not tight, consider a couples massage booking, dinner at a romantic restaurant or a night at a cute hotel or bed and breakfast. Lower-cost pampering-type gift options include a breakfast-in-bed tray, picnic-for-two set, massage oil, incense set and aromatherapy candles.
