5 Things To Consider Before Finalising Engagement Gifts

Engagement gifts can easily range from casual food & drink to high-end duvet sets and decor items. It's an excellent opportunity to give your loved ones something personal that they'll truly enjoy. However, you need to ensure that whatever you give the couple is something they enjoy and like. Whether it's a custom charcuterie board for their next wine and cheese night or a piece of thoughtful artwork for a new home, there's something for everyone. But you must consider the following points before buying them that perfect engagement gift:

1. Stick To A Budget

Before you decide to buy an engagement gift for a couple, make sure to set a proper budget for it. You don't have to go over the top, but you don't want cheap out. Setting your budget for the gift also depends on how close you are to the couple. If you're super close, then you may feel like buying them something a bit more expensive. However, if you're just acquaintances, then you can certainly set a lower budget. 

2. Gift Something Useful

This should be, like, the golden rule of gifting in general. When gifting something to a newly engaged couple, it's always best to give them something that they can use as they begin their new life together. Anything that makes their home a better place for them is a good wedding gift. 

3. If The Couple Has An Online Registry, Make Sure To Check It Out

Online Wedding Gift Registry is an uncommon concept in India, sure. However, some couples do choose to create one. And we totally support having one. After all, it will give you a way better idea of what the couple wishes to have in their new home. So, if the freshly engaged couple has an online registry, be sure to check it out before purchasing a gift for them!

4.  Know The Couple's Taste

This is another important thing which you should always consider before buying anything for the couple. If you know what they need in terms of any item, then try to gift them that specific thing. For example, if a couple enjoys various kinds of alcohol, then you can buy them a good bottle of wine or whiskey. Similarly, if they're art collectors or baking enthusiasts, then you can gift them something that works!

5. If It's Personalised, Even Better!

Always remember, personalised gifts are always better than something purely off the market. There are many brands and labels out there that help people create personalised gifts for people. Whether it's something as simple as a nameplate or even a doodle portrait of the couple, gifts that are bespoke to them will always speak louder than normal ones. 

Conclusion

Newly engaged couples are often bombarded with presents leading up to their wedding days, many of which are impersonal and impractical (though well-intended). The best gifts are the ones that take into consideration the couple’s passions and personalities, making them incredibly thoughtful. So, we hope this list of gifts helped you narrow down certain future possibilities!
