glass set

For Stressful Planning: Wedding Planning Glass Set

If there’s one thing any couple knows, it’s that the engagement is the fun part. The actual planning of the wedding can be a little more stressful. If you want to give your friends an early engagement gift, pick them up these adorable glasses soon after they’ve announced their engagement.

No matter which of the couple is the wine drinker and which is the beer drinker, these glasses will surely be put to good use during all the talk of seating arrangements, reception foods and band vs. deejay.

double laundry hamper

Practical but Purposeful: BirdRock Premium Double Laundry Hamper

When a new couple is just starting out in a new home, they need practically everything. People often rush to get them the cutesy couples stuff. Others rush to get them kitchen appliances and matching bath sets.

What often gets overlooked is a nice, durable laundry hamper. While the first few weeks of marital bliss may be spent in a lazy haze of irresponsibility, eventually the new couple will have to get back to the real world.

When that happens, they’re going to need clean clothes. Trust us on this one; they will love a good laundry basket.

Blossom bonsai light

The Gift of Peace: LIGHTSHARE Cherry Blossom Bonsai Light

This lovely gift combines two of the most well-known and appreciated symbols in the Asian culture: a bonsai tree and a cherry blossom tree. The bonsai tree represents balance, peace and harmony, which are certainly three things a newly engaged couple needs in their home.

The cherry blossom lights on the tree represent the beauty and fragility of life, which will remind the two newly engaged lovebirds not to take one another for granted. It’s a beautiful, thoughtful gift that will also be a lovely addition to any room.

picnic basket for two

Some Alone Time: INNO STAGE Wicker Picnic Basket for 2

Another thoughtful gift for the newly engaged couple is this wicker picnic basket for two. Often, the best gift you can give to two people in love is an excuse to go spend some alone time together. That’s exactly what this basket does.

It comes equipped with everything they’d need to take the day off and have a nice, romantic picnic anywhere they see fit. Plates, utensils, two wine glasses, salt and pepper shakers and a soft, fleece blanket – this basket comes with everything except their favorite foods.

sushi socks box

For the Sushi Lovers: Men’s & Women’s Sushi Socks Box

If your recently engaged friends have a great sense of humor and also love sushi, why not get them a couple of trays of sushi socks? The socks are actually made for both men and women, so you could buy them each their own set of matching sushi socks.

There are different options, so you can even tailor their boxes to fit their favorite types of sushi. Whether your friends are fans of yellow-tail or tuna tamago, there’s a sushi box of socks out there they’d enjoy.

pillowcase set

For the Pet Lovers: His, Hers, the Dog Pillowcase Set

If your friends fit into the category of couple who never leaves home without their furry best friend, this could be the perfect gift. This super soft cotton/polyester blend will keep their heads cool at night, but more importantly, these pillowcases give dedicated space to love of both their lives, their doggy.

Best of all, they’re machine-washable, which makes it so much easier to get all the pet hair off of them when they get too furry.

gourmet gift basket

luggage collection set

For the Travelers: Steve Madden Designer Luggage Collection

There are many things newly engaged couples enjoy doing. One of those things is usually traveling. Whether it’s going on their honeymoon after the wedding, going on a trip to celebrate their engagement, visiting relatives to tell them the good news or just getting away for a long weekend, couples love to travel.

Make it a little easier, not to mention a little classier, for them by purchasing them an excellently made, three-piece luggage set from Steve Madden.

The set comes in eight different colors and includes a carry-on and two suitcases.

vacuum cleaner

The Bare Necessities: Hoover WindTunnel 3 Max Performance Vacuum Cleaner

If there is one thing that everyone – including newly engaged couples – need but nobody wants to buy, it’s a good vacuum cleaner. Everyone needs clean floors. Everyone hates trying to clean their floors with a sub-part vacuum cleaner.

Scratch off map of the world

Give Them the World: Scratch Off Map of The World

This is another great gift for the couple who loves to travel. This map makes a gorgeous wall hanging simply hanging there, as-is by itself. However, the great thing about it is that it’s a scratch-off map, which allows couples to scratch off the areas in the world to which they’ve traveled.

This results in a map that started off black and brown turning into a multitude of beautiful colors as the years go by. It’s an incredibly thoughtful gift that can bring your friends joy for several years, possibly even a lifetime.

USB charging ports

sleeping eye mask headphones

Give Them a Good Night’s Sleep: Bluetooth Sleeping Eye Mask Headphones

One of the only, and we do mean only, bad things about becoming engaged and getting married is having to give up your half-across the bed, snoring like a steam locomotive, hogging all the covers sleeping habits.

When you start sharing your bed with someone else, you have to be considerate of their sleeping habits as well. What if they like a small light in the hallway and you like the room pitch black? What if you like to play soft music and they want total silence?

These are things every new couple has to get used to at some point.

Help them out by buying one or both of them this Bluetooth sleeping eye mask. If they like it dark, this will give them a total blackout. If one of them likes listening to music, this will allow him/her to do so comfortably without disturbing the other.

Trust us; they will absolutely love this gift.

Finding the Perfect Cool Engagement Present

Finding the right gift for an engaged couple presents a unique challenge because it means finding something that two different people with two separate personalities will enjoy. That challenge can also make engagement gifts some of the most fun gifts to give.

And no matter what people think, gift giving should be fun, not stressful. It also doesn’t have to be expensive. Engagement Etiquette 101 tells us that as long as you give a thoughtful, personal gift, the couple will likely love it.

Plus, the world is changing. In a world where Engagement Days, Mutual Proposals and all kinds of modern engagements are happening, you can afford to be a little creative with your gift-giving ideas.
