Just Engaged: Discover Gifts They'll Love at First Sight!

There's nothing like the excitement of an engagement, the glowing smiles, the endless ring selfies, and the start of a brand-new chapter. Whether you're a close friend, proud family member, or just someone who loves love, finding the right gift to mark the special moment can feel like a big deal. Do you go sentimental? Practical?

Don't worry, we have rounded up the best Engagement Gift ideas to help you celebrate in style. From thoughtful keepsakes to fun and functional presents, there's something here for every kind of couple. Let's make their "just engaged" glow last a little longer.

1. Vineyard Tours and Wine Tastings

A vineyard tour is the perfect blend of romance and indulgence. Picture the couple wandering through sun-drenched rows of vines, learning about the winemaking process, and sipping on award-winning vintages. Many vineyards even offer cheese pairings or picnic lunches, ideal for a dreamy afternoon escape in the stunning countryside of their chosen location.

Bonus idea: Pair the tour with a personalised wine bottle or engraved glasses for a sweet keepsake.

2. Hot Air Balloon Ride with Champagne

For couples who love a little adventure, a hot air balloon ride is pure magic. Floating above rolling countryside or dramatic coastlines, they will toast to their engagement with a glass of bubbly in the sky. It's an experience that's as breathtaking as it is romantic, and guaranteed to be something they will never forget.

Tip: When booking this experience, opt for a sunrise or sunset flight for the ultimate photo-worthy moment.

3. RHS Garden Visits

If the couple enjoys peaceful strolls, blooming landscapes, and a touch of nature-inspired romance, an RHS Garden pass makes a beautifully thoughtful gift. With access to some of the UK's most stunning gardens, think Wisley, Hyde Hall, and Rosemoor, they can spend a day hand-in-hand, surrounded by colour, calm, and beautiful gardens spanning for miles. They may even find some inspiration for their own garden.

Pair it with: A cute gardening set or a floral-print picnic blanket, which they can take with them when they visit.

4. Spa Breaks for Two

Planning a wedding can be stressful, so giving the gift of relaxation is always a win. A luxury spa break lets them unwind together and escape the hustle and bustle of wedding planning, with massages, facials, and maybe even a dip in a hot tub. Choose a countryside retreat or a chic boutique hotel for an overnight stay, where they will return feeling pampered, connected and refreshed.

Pro tip: Look for packages that include afternoon tea

5. Shepherd's Hut Getaway

For something truly unique, a shepherd's hut stay offers a cosy, countryside escape with rustic charm. Tucked away in peaceful corners of the countryside, these chic little hideaways often come with log burners, stargazing decks, countryside views and of course a hot tub. It's the perfect mini-moon or pre-wedding recharge spot.

Complete the getaway with: A hamper of artisanal snacks, a bottle of fizz and a picnic blanket.

6. Curated Picnic Package

Treat them to our Day Picnic Package, featuring a vintage car of their choice, from Bentley to Triumph, Mercedes, or MGB. After a warm welcome and quick intro to the car, they will set off with a picnic basket full of treats to enjoy and a cosy blanket. They will cruise through Norfolk's beautiful countryside, then stop off to enjoy the delicious picnic treats in true classic style.

Make it extra special: Add in a photo from their engagement day or a disposable camera so they can take pictures too.

When it comes to engagement gifts, experiences almost always win the day. They offer the couple a chance to celebrate their love in the moment, away from to-do lists and seating charts, and create memories they'll look back on forever. Whether it's soaring through the skies in a hot air balloon or sharing a quiet picnic for two, these gifts go far beyond the ordinary.
