Ideas for Engagement
What actually works
This sits in an awkward gap. There is a registry coming, and they will need the substantial things then. So this one should be smaller and more celebratory: something for the engagement itself, or for the two of them as people rather than as a future household.
The usual mistake
Buying something wedding-sized now. Save it — the registry is where it will actually be needed, and turning up twice with the big gesture is hard to sustain.
Still not sure?
Tell us about them in your own words, what they are into and what you have already given, and we will narrow it down properly.
