It’s not every day that someone close to you gets engaged, so when they do, a congratulations card doesn’t always cut it. That being the case, give some thought to personalised engagement gifts. They’re not your bog-standard engagement presents, based on the fact that yep, you guessed it, they can be personalised with the details of your choice – typically a name and message. Here, we give you a rundown on five of the most popular engagement presents. Just don’t be fooled into thinking this list is anything close to extensive – it’s far from it.

Engagement wine and champagne

Nothing says congrats quite like popping open a bottle of champers. If it sounds like your cup of tea, too, you can buy personalised champagne that includes a label of your choice that can be customised to include the couple’s names and a message. If you’d rather not plump for bubbles, meanwhile, personalised red, white and rosé wine come with exactly the same personalisation options.

Engraved crystal

If you fancy supplementing your champagne or wine, the obvious thing to do is engrave a pair of crystal glasses for the happy couple. There’s the option of champagne flutes or wine glasses, each of which can be personalised to include your couple’s names, date and a brief message. After that, we’ll pack the glasses into a swish satin-lined box. Very posh.

Engagement personalised newspaper

For a light-hearted engagement present, a spoof newspaper from the Daily Mirror is a safe bet. With this, you can personalise the front page of the paper to include the couple’s full names, where they live, the date and even the ‘writer’ of the piece. They’ll then be incorporated into the front page’s leading story. To top it all of you can also upload a photo of them to feature next to the ‘article’.

Love and Romance Personalised Diaries and Calendars

As personalised engagement gifts go, they don’t come much more handy, or personal, than the ‘Love and Romance’ calendars. Not only can you include names and a message, but if you buy the largest version, you’ll also get to include 20 specific dates relevant to the couple. What’s more, both the calendar and the diary can begin from a month of your choosing, not just January.

London Eye Cruise for Two

This cruise will allow the happy couple to enjoy a leisurely sightseeing cruise down the Thames over the course of a day. They can hop on and off as much as they like, so not only will they get a real insight into the capital’s history, but it’s really convenient, too. To round things off in style, they’ll also get a ‘flight’ on the London Eye. Happy days.
