Gifts by Occasion
Engagement gifts sit in a lovely in-between place: personal enough to celebrate the couple, restrained enough that you are not pre-empting the wedding list.

Keepsake
A palm-sized crocheted slice of toast carrying a congratulations pun — bought to replace the engagement card rather than to sit alongside it.
Stationery
A tabbed, ring-bound planner with pockets for the paper wedding planning generates — the rare engagement gift with a job to do in the first fortnight.
Home Décor
A heavy black silhouette of the proposal itself — one of the few engagement gifts about the moment that has already happened rather than the wedding to come.
Gift Sets
Two engraved stemmed glasses with an opener and stopper in a pine keepsake box — the couple's set that is brought out on occasions rather than used weekly.
Gift Sets
A boxed pair of 14oz marble-effect mugs with lids and spoons — the only couple's set here that enters the daily rotation instead of a cupboard.
Gift Sets
Two stemless vacuum-insulated tumblers boxed with cooling stones and coasters — the couple's set built to be taken outside rather than kept on a shelf.
Comfort
A matched pair of embroidered waffle-knit robes — bought for the morning of the wedding as much as for the marriage that follows it.
