21 Engagement Gifts for Couples to Help Them Prepare For Married Life

For the Couple Who Loves to Bake

Anyone who loves to bake regularly knows how handy this kitchen gadget is. Despite its smaller 3.5-quart bowl, it can still hold enough dough to make up to five dozen cookies (yum), according to the company. It also comes with a six-wire whip, a coated dough hook and a flex edge beater, but there are more than 10 other attachments you can purchase separately. Read more about why we love it so much in our mixer review—our only complaint was that the paddle attachment tended to be a little harder to remove on this model than the brand's other ones.

Best Home Gift

A cute and cozy throw blanket to keep in the betrothed’s family room will be a crowd-pleasing gift, and this one is a woven-knit chenille with tassels, making for warm and adorable décor. You can never have too many blankets, right?

Best for the Interior Design Obsessed

A set of fun vases is a magnificent gift for new fiancés, as it will hold all the flowers they’re sure to exchange. The gorgeous pastel colors of these glass designs will complement the beauty of any flower and brighten up the space.

Most Romantic Gift

Get them excited for their big day by gifting them with a cake-cutting set they can use after exchanging their vows. This two-piece kit comes in three different patterns you can choose from. The stainless-steel blades will keep them looking brand new for years and the engravings are customizable to reflect your giftee's names and even wedding date if they have one set.

Most Unique Gift

You can customize this puzzle with the couple’s last names and the year of their engagement. Not only will it make for a sweet visual once it’s complete, it will be loads of fun for them to put together on a date night. You can choose from a 500- or 1000-piece puzzle, based on how much you want to challenge them.

These Italian-crafted, beautiful wine glasses are both dishwasher safe and more resistant to breaking thanks to the titanium-reinforced construction. The set comes with four red and four white wine glasses to savor the flavors of a robust red or crisp white.

Best Outdoor Gift

The couple who loves to host will adore having a bonfire to add some heat to their outdoor gatherings. This model is created to produce low smoke and it’s log-friendly. It is lightweight for easy transport and comes with a black, nylon carrying case, making it easy to pack for a weekend camping trip.

Best for the Homeowners

Everyone loves to feel even just a little bit safer in their own home, and this Ring Video doorbell can help offer the gift of security. The doorbell connects to Wi-Fi and then can be managed through the app on their phone. They’ll be notified when the motion detection is triggered or when someone rings the bell. They can also use it just to say “Hi” to the Amazon delivery driver when he drops off their packages!

Most Sentimental Gift

Collect their most cherished photos to showcase in this adorable mini photo album. You can have 30 to 120 pages of photos put in, and as their family grows, they can add more pages themselves. They’ll be able to flip through each page and reminisce on their fondest memories.

For the Charcuterie Board Crafters

The resin alongside the acacia wood gives this board a contemporary feel and will liven up any charcuterie artistry. It’s also super easy to clean by just using a damp cloth to remove any food left behind.

Best for the Tea Drinkers

This kettle will have boiling hot water ready to steep the teabag in no time—as soon as three minutes, actually, according to the brand. If they forget they’re boiling water, it will be no biggie, because this kettle also has a handy auto shut-off to let them know when the water is ready.

Best for the Busy Couple

Vacuuming is time-consuming and sometimes, not having to worry about one task can make a world of difference in someone’s day. They can shout to Alexa to start this vacuum and it will get the dirty work done for them. It has a self-cleaning brushroll to ensure no hair gets wrapped around the brush for a smoother and more efficient cleaning process. According to Shark, this vacuum can hold up to 45 days of dirt and debris in its self-emptying canister until they need to empty it.

From savory flat breads to veggie bowls to ice cream, each meal has whole foods and healthy ingredients to give them the energy they definitely need.

Best Bar Accessory

A decanter will not only make their wine taste more full bodied, it makes for classy décor as well. This one has nearly 4,000 five-star ratings on Amazon and it fits a full bottle of wine for maximum aeration. We love that it has an easy-pour spout, too, so you don't have to worry about dripping down the side of the glass.

Best Gift for Her

Now that she's got some bling on her left hand, she's going to want to keep it as sparkly as possible. This magasonic cleaner uses only tap water and ultrasonic energy waves to create bubbles that will reportedly remove dirt and any built-up debris that has settled into her ring from daily wear.

Between the two of them, they replace 16 pieces of cookware, including a frying pan, sauce pan, roasting rack, colander and more. They both have an aluminum base to heat the pans evenly and are covered in a ceramic coating for a slippery, nonstick surface.

Best Ring Dish

She'll be able to place her brand new, sparkly engagement ring in this adorable dish with the couple's initials on it. Better yet, once they're married, they can place all of their rings here.
