Engagement Gift Boxes

Sending a gift to celebrate a couple's engagement is always a wonderful idea. Gift boxes full of presents for the engaged couple just add to the fun of celebrating the decision to get married. If you'd like to give an engagement gift, we'll show you where to shop for some of our favorite engagement gift boxes. We also share ideas for what to put in an engagement gift box, if you want to create a custom package of presents.

Engagement Gift Boxes

This time of year -- the holiday season into Valentine's Day -- is when we typically see the most engagements. While this year has undoubtedly been a little different for planning weddings, it seems engagements are still certainly happening. Since we can't gather together to celebrate this year, perhaps more than ever, it's nice to send an engagement gift to your newly engaged friends. It's a beautiful way to let them know you're happy for them and celebrating with them!

We have shared some of our favorite ideas for engagement gifts here in the past. Today we're focusing on a specific type of gift that can encompass many items! It's an engagement gift box, and you can make your own and fill it with gifts you know the couple will enjoy, or you can buy them already created!

If none of these specific ideas are for you, the ideas are endless - just think of something you know the couple will enjoy!

Where to Find or Shop for Gift Boxes for an Engaged Couple

Etsy seems to be one of the best places to get a ready-made engagement gift box. In fact, I just ordered one for my niece and browsed a ton of great ideas.  Some shops have pre-made boxes, while others will be happy to create a custom gift box so you can fill it.  While many engagement gift boxes center around gifts for brides, ideally an engagement gift has something for the couple as a whole that both partners will enjoy.

Here are a few of our favorite gift boxes we found to send to your newly engaged friends. Affiliate links are used in this section. each image links to the shop where you can find the item pictured.
