Gift ideas for the couple who just said ‘Yes’
Should I buy an engagement gift?
While engagement gifts are not always necessary, they’re a nice way to show your support for the happy couple. If they’re hosting an engagement party and you’re worried about showing up empty-handed, a little token can double up to say thank you for the invite, and as an engagement present.
How much should I spend?
You may be overflowing with happiness for the love birds in your life, but this doesn’t mean you need to spend a small fortune on an engagement gift – save your pennies for the wedding present. Our curated list has several engagement gift ideas to suit a range of budgets, from small-but-special presents to bigger splurges.
What should I get the couple?
Leading up to the wedding, the soon-to-be newlyweds will be showered with gifts. To make yours stand out, try picking something that truly reflects their personalities and shows how well you know them. If you’re looking for an engagement gift idea for a friend, think of something unique and out-of-the-box that you know will fit their style. Want to play it safe? Pick a classic present that the couple can share together.
Gift ideas for your favourite weds-to-be
A fresh scent
Whether creating a warm atmosphere for a quiet evening or setting the scene for a candlelit dinner, candles and candle holders are the perfect pair. Choose candles with fresh, floral, or spicy scents housed in decorative ceramic or glass votives.
A mood-boosting print
For an engagement gift that stands out, choose a positive piece of wall art or a vibrant neon light. For couples with a strong sense of style, pick artwork that complements their taste and adds character to their interior. Choose from typography posters, wall hangings and hand-painted illustrations created in our design studios, as well as top picks from our favourite artists. Not sure what they’d like? Our LED neon signs are a fun alternative, with party-ready slogans and playful motifs.
Toast-worthy glassware
Raise a toast to the happy couple by gifting a glassware set. Our collections combine classic shapes with impactful colours and textured finishes across glassware sets, jugs and decanters. If they love to entertain, choose from lustre finishes, spinning tumblers and champagne glasses they can use to enjoy a glass or two of bubbly leading up to the big day.
Matching mugs
For the practically minded, pick two mugs that go together (nearly) as well as the happy couple. Perfect for sharing a morning brew, choose from ceramic mugs & cups with textured glazes or playful slogans that match their personality. For something more personalised, consider gifting both of their initials from our range of alphabet mugs so that they look perfectly paired on the kitchen shelf together.
A photo frame
Help them treasure their special moments with a photo frame. Help them curate a gallery of memories by gifting a mix of small picture frames ready for them to fill, or get creative and make them a collage with snippets of their favourite moments. Whether it’s a candid of the happy couple or a snap of the proposal itself, give them a gift that keeps their joy on display.
A standout vase
After announcing their engagement, your friends will inevitably receive plenty of congratulatory bouquets. Help them house their blooms with a statement vase. With distinctive profiles in coloured ceramics and tactile textures, vases make a design-led gift they can enjoy long after the flowers.
Jewellery storage
Jewellery is always a welcome gift, but a new storage box or stand gives them something stylish to keep it in. Choose a fabric box with embroidered motifs and soft lining, complete with compartments for their whole collection. A travel jewellery box is a handy way to keep their wedding rings secure as they embark on their honeymoon adventure.
Games
For a fun alternative, consider gifting a board game. A touch of friendly competition might be just what they need to unwind alongside the busy build-up of wedding planning. Choose from witty card quizzes, jigsaw puzzles and trivia games to play together or with friends and family.
Hero homeware
Help them style their space with design-led home accessories and soft furnishings. Think soft throws, eye-catching doormats or even a linen bedding set to bring a touch of luxury to their everyday. Whether it’s a cosy blanket for movie nights or mood-boosting cushions to brighten their sofa, gift warmth and personality to their home as they start this exciting new chapter together.
A new cookbook
Bring some new favourite dishes to their week with a new cookbook. As well as recipe inspiration for romantic date nights and hosted dinners, a glossy cookbook always looks great on a kitchen shelf. Whether they’re dedicated veggies, cocktail connoisseurs or just need some everyday ideas, we’ve got all tastes covered.
