Choose your gift for someone's engagement in such a way that it becomes a keepsake for their future life. Most young couples about to be married are in the process of setting up their home independently, and hence it is ideal to give them utility oriented gifts. In addition to some utility options, find some ornamental gift ideas for engagement in the following list, and make your selection:
Customized Caps:
This will prove to be a hilarious engagement gift idea. Buy a pair of caps for the groom and bride to-be. The bride's cap will have a wedding dress design on it and the groom's cap will have a suit designed on it. Although they may never wear such funny looking caps, your gift will prove to be a great keepsake for the couple.
Fancy cork board:
Imagine a corkboard actually made with real cork! This will be a unique engagement gift. Even if no papers or photographs are pinned on it, it will look beautiful as a show piece by itself.

Gourmet Picnic Set:

A Wedding URL:
This is a latest trend in weddings these days. A wedding URL is made by the name of the bride and groom and all the wedding trivia, invites, comments and RSVP's are taken on that website. Buy a domain name on the internet with the bride and groom's name and gift it to them. (For instance, www.staceywedsjason.com)
Selection of romantic Mills & Boons:
This gift will put a nice smile on the couple's face. They would have last read a Mills & Boon's book when they would have been in their late teens. Gift them a set of handpicked Mills & Boons and watch them winking at each other.
Wedding Planner Journal:
Although many weddings these days are managed by wedding planners, a wedding journal will be a nice personal planner for the couple to keep track of who they need to invite, what tasks they need to finish, reminders of dates for dress fittings and so on. The beautiful thing about this planner is that it serves as a reminder of the wedding many years later.

Heart Shaped Measuring Spoons:
Truly a testament to love! Gift the couple a set of silver heart shaped measuring spoons that they can use when they set up their new home. On the handle of the each spoon, you can get a love message or the names of the couple inscribed to make it a one-of-a-kind personalized engagement gift.
