Engagement Gift Ideas Under $25
Engagement gift ideas range from simple and practical to extravagant. Most wedding engagement gifts are offered once the couple has made the announcement or at an engagement party.
Since there will be plenty of other opportunities to spoil the couple, like the bridal shower, wedding shower, and the actual wedding, there is no need for you to go all out for their engagement present, unless, of course, you want to!
If you do not know the couple very well, you can always find cool engagement gifts for the couple that won't break the bank.
Here is a list of engagement gift ideas that run about $25 or less:
Heart Shaped Kitchenware
Heart shaped kitchenware, like serving platters and pretty spoons, are a cute way to celebrate the engagement. Not only are these engagement party gifts adorable, but they are useful, too, especially if your couple loves to spend time in the kitchen!
Uniquely Romantic Goods
A great way to celebrate the announcement of an engagement is to offer the couple a sweet little romantic gift that they can both enjoy. While they may be receiving a lot of gifts that are wedding related, your gift will stand out and will be something that they can treasure and appreciate long after the big day.
Cheese Cutting Board
Does the couple love to try different types of cheeses? Then a cheese cutting board set can be a fun engagement gift to give them. Some cutting boards come with specialty cheese knives and spreaders for different types of cheese, giving the couple a fun little way to indulge their love for cheese.
Wedding Planner
A wedding planner is an engagement party gift that they can start using right away. Many planners come with tons of checklists, budget planning tips, wedding ideas, and other fun things that can help the couple keep track of all the little details that go into planning the party of their life!
Cute Couples in Love Glassware
Who can resist these creative romantic glasses? The artwork on these glasses convey the simple sweetness of a young love. Any couple would love to receive a pair of these glasses as an engagement gift. And these glasses may just become their favorite pieces of drinkware!
Mortar and Pestle Set
A mortar and pestle set is an adorable engagement party gift idea! Instead of using a food processor or small grinding machine, mortar and pestle set takes the user back to the traditional way of mashing, grinding, and fusing different flavors. Sets are made of a variety of different materials and come in all styles and colors.
Photo Album
A photo album is a great and totally appropriate engagement gift for the engaged couple because it will get them thinking of which pictures they can start collecting to fill it up. The engagement period will be filled with fun events and hundreds of pictures will be snapped - so give them a fun space to keep all of their memories.
Bottle of Wine / Champagne + Accessories
A nice bottle of wine or champagne can be just what the couple needs. If the newly engaged couple seems to have everything they need already, then a nice bottle will be a sweet gesture of engagement congratulations. If you are feeling a little empty handed with just giving them a bottle, then consider a wine accessory gift like a wine aerator or monogrammed wine stopper to go along with your engagement present.
Photo Frame
A photo frame or a collage photo frame can be a wonderful engagement gift if the couple is just starting out and is in the process of setting up their own home. The frame does not necessarily have to be wedding related, so they do not have to be confined to just finding wedding photos. If you have a great picture of the couple, you can get their photo collage started for them!
Couple's Cookbook
Cookbooks for the groom and bride-to-be are fun and practical engagement gifts. There are cookbooks that are designed with a couple in mind, or you can get the pair a cookbook that features their favorite type of cuisine! And, of course, there are the staple cookbooks, like The Joy of Cooking that should be in every cook's kitchen.
Wine Opener Gift Set
A nice wine opener set can be a great engagement party gift for a couple who enjoys wine. Wine openers allow wine bottles to be opened with ease and without damaging the cork. There are even electric wine openers and wine openers that come complete with a foil cutter.
Teapot / Tea Set
Teapots and tea sets range in materials and styles. If the couple enjoys tea, then a cool teapot or tea set can make a wonderful engagement gift idea. If you are so inclined, you may also consider getting them some different loose leaf tea varieties to enjoy with their new teapot.
Glassware / Stemware
Glassware or stemware is always appreciated as a wedding engagement gift. If the couple loves to drink wine or often entertains at their home, then a healthy collection of glassware will be a welcomed engagement gift. If you know that the couple enjoys champagne, then a pair of flutes may be a fun and appropriate engagement gift as well.
Adorable Precious Moments Decor
If your newly engaged couple loves the Precious Moments collection, then surprise them with these sweet little goodies! There are plenty of Precious Moments items that you can find to help them celebrate their engagement, like a nice picture frame or even a musical waterglobe.
Mini Engagement Gift Baskets
Mini engagement gift baskets are a fun gift to give to the newly engaged couple. Most gift baskets have a theme, and mini gift baskets are no different. You can indulge the couple in a basket with the flavors of Italy, or a New England breakfast, or even a yummy chocolate engagement gift basket!
