Engagement Gifts

Hello ladies! I haven't been on in so long, but I really need your help! I'm gonig to an engagement party this weekend, but I don't know what to get the couple! They're not registered, they're not getting married until late 2011 and they don't live together.

HELP!

TIA

Cold hard cash.

Or a Gift Card to BBB or Macys, etc.

Should've written this first (SORRY) -- I don't want to give them cash or a gift card; my mom always told me it's not personal, so now that's always in my head!

I hear ya, however, I loved getting cash and GCs. We were registered just for the party since we had people ask, and we did get a lot of gifts too.

How about something personalised? Like from Etsy...maybe a sign or a beautiful Lenox frame or something keepsakey?

Hmmm...I know some people feel that way, but I think the general consensus of brides on here would feel the opposite.

If that's the case, maybe a bottle of wine and some wine glasses?
Someone gave me a very nice lead crystal vase. (We're not registered yet either) Very simple and classic.

This one's a toughie..

I would do this as well..something they can use or something that eventually they can put in a curio.,

We're not registered & our party is next Saturday...we are hoping for caaaash...or a check I feel like the shower is time for a gift & wedding (definitely) or e-party = $$. JMO though

I like the wine and glasses idea..maybe put it in a cute basket with a blanket.

Otherwise, maybe a visa gift card so they can get what they need at a later date.

What about champage glasses and a bottle of champage? or wine glasses ? Electric wine opener?
How about a Lennox frame?
Are you by peter andrews store in huntington? they have really cute gifts and any gift over 20 gets wrapped for free! which is great for me because I do not do wrapping!
