Engagement Gift Help!!

My cousin got engaged last night and my mom and I want to get her engagement gifts, but I can't think of anything!! She's having a destination wedding and won't be getting married for at least another year and a half. When I got engaged my aunt bought me our toasting flutes, whcih was a great idea, but my mom doesn't want to do the same thing for my cousin...any ideas??? Please share your favorite engagement gift!!

Thanks so much!!

The Lenox Wedding Promises photo album is really pretty. It will definitely be useful, especially if she's having a destination wedding!

eta: I just checked the lenox site - they're having a 40% off sale on a lot of wedding items! OR you coudl take a ride to the outlet in Riverhead.

sale stuff: http://www.lenox.com/coll/index.cfm?fuseaction=colDetail&colid=103&kf=95

There's also a magazine for Destination Weddings - how about a subscription?

That's a good one!

I was going to suggest toasting flutes or something from the Lenox store, that's what I did for my cousin (went to the Lenox store and got flutes-they were having an e-party and not planning on registering).

Wine is also a nice gift.

I got a few bridal books in the beginning as well as engagement gifts.

ETA: Informational books about the destination (if they have it chosen yet) would be good too!

How about cool stationary w/both of their names on it?

I love the precious moments engaged pieces. I also really loved the frame and photo album I got which was engraved that had our names and the day we got engaged. I filled it with all the pics from that night.

Also, my FSIL had a basket made for me which was so cool, it had a pic frame, bridal magazine, wedding countdown clock, 'honeymoon fund' bank, jewelery cleaner it was really put together nice.

The Tiffany's cake topper or cutter is nice.

how about a wedding picture frame? A lot are crystal, one side holds a wedding pic and the other the invitation...i'm assuming she's doing invitations even though its a destination wedding?

or how about a cake knife set she can use at the wedding.

if jewish, kiddish cups?
