Engagement Gifts & Present Ideas

Getting engaged is an exciting time in any person’s life, and the pair in question will want to look back on it for as long as possible. A piece of personalised wall art or poster is the ideal way to keep the love that they feel during this time at the forefront of their minds when they’re ten years married and arguing over whose turn it is to load the dishwasher.

Let the lovebirds gaze adoringly into each other’s eyes with a couple’s photo shoot, capturing their love and elation. Another engagement present idea is to choose from our selection of photo gifts that can be personalised with pictures of the future Mr and Mrs. For a more unusual engagement gift, a Lindor chocolate tree certainly isn’t something you see every day (but no doubt wish you could). From personalised cufflinks to a wooden heart chopping board, we have plenty of other engagement presents with a difference.

Engagement Gifts FAQs                                                            

Are engagement presents a thing?

Engagement presents are a thing, but they’re definitely not a necessity. If your colleague at work has just got engaged then saying congratulations will normally suffice, but if it’s your brother or best friend, you might want to go a step further and get them a small gift. This is especially the case if you’ve been invited to an engagement party, where it might feel a little rude to turn up empty-handed.

What is the best gift for an engagement?

The best gift for an engagement is something that commemorates this special moment in the couple’s lives, or something that helps them to prepare for the wedding. Commemorative gifts could be personalised champagne glasses or wall art, while ideas for a gift that helps them prepare for the wedding include a wedding planner, money for the wedding, or a relaxing weekend away to settle their nerves before the big day.

How much should I spend on an engagement gift?

How much you spend on an engagement gift is completely up to you – there’s no amount you ‘should’ spend. However, if you’re looking for general guidelines, a present in the region of £20-30 would be fine in most scenarios.

What do you do when someone gets engaged?

When someone you know gets engaged, the normal thing to do is congratulate them. You can say your congratulations in person, send a card, and even get a present if you are close to the couple or have been invited to an engagement party. If you’re a close friend or family member, you might want to throw the happy couple a party to save them the hassle of organising it themselves.
