You just found out one of your closest friends proposed (or got proposed to). Amazing! Engagements are exciting and special times in peoples’ lives; as such, we should celebrate alongside them. We can do this by providing the happy couple with a thoughtful gift. After all, if they’re your best friends, you don’t want to settle for just anything. If you really want to surprise them, go the extra mile—and, luckily, we have some suggestions to get you started. We’re sharing what we believe are very underrated gifts every newly engaged couple wants.

Durable Luggage

If you know the couple loves to travel, hook them up with some sturdy luggage. Their honeymoon and other adventures will arrive soon enough, and you can help them prepare for their trips this way. Unfortunately, bags and suitcases don’t last forever, so new ones make for great gifts.

A Creative Keepsake Box

You can always provide the couple with a designated place to stow away engagement photos, as well as bouquets and other post-wedding items. Remember to look for a quality box that can withstand years of storage. Although this is a simple gift, it’s priceless—your good friends will treasure this type of present for years to come.

A Custom Bean Bag Toss Set

If the couple’s yard could use some personalization—and something super fun— a monogrammed bean bag toss set is an ideal gift. It may sound unusual and unexpected, but should they plan to have company over, they can easily break out the lawn games. Many don’t think to invest in outdoor items, but the couple will surely get use out of this party staple.

A Generous Wine Subscription

Like we mentioned, engagement is a period for couples to reflect on the joy of navigating life together. What better way for them to enjoy this time than with some wine? They can pour themselves glasses on their favorite evenings and reminisce about all the wonderful moments they’ve spent together so far. If you know whether they prefer red or white, then remember to opt for their favorite—otherwise, you can always go for a variety.

A Luxurious Dinnerware Set

While people often gift dishes, most make the mistake of purchasing from large corporations. Why give them a mass-produced set when you can support a local artisan or business? You can offer them beautifully crafted dinnerware that’s unlike anything anyone else owns. Plus, the dishes will certainly remind them of you every time they pull these stunning pieces out for gatherings.

A Sumptuous Throw

You might wonder how a throw made it onto our list, but it has to be one of the most underrated gifts every newly engaged couple wants. Think about it: Every couple’s living room needs that one blanket for snuggling up on chilly nights. You can provide them with this cozy throw! Quality blankets can be expensive, so—without a doubt— the couple will thank you for the cozy gift.
