It’s spring, which means engagement season is in full swing! Doesn’t it feel like everyone you know is getting engaged right now? Your weekends are filled with engagement parties, bridal showers, and weddings, and you have one thing on your mind: What gift do I get them? I know it’s tricky (and expensive) to keep buying unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for every engaged couple, so I want to help you!
The thing to remember is to not think of engagement gifts like wedding gifts. They don’t have to be the gifts with the highest price tag, and the newly engaged couple probably hasn’t even set up a wedding registry yet. That means… you’re on your own for figuring out what is an appropriate engagement gift! Except, you have this list of 12 gifts for newly engaged couples, which should make your life a whole lot easier!
