CLASSIC ENGAGMENT GIFT
CHAMPAGNE FLUTES
One of the most popular gifts for engaged couples? A bottle of bubbly. Gift them a gorgeous set of champagne flutes to go with their endless supply of champagne. While we love traditional champagne flutes (you know, crystal, sometimes monogrammed), these pretty-hued flutes standout.
BEST FOR BRIDES
DIAMOND RING CLEANER
Alright, alright. This one’s practical, but hey! Your friend is rocking a new piece of hardware and she’s going to want to keep it nice and shiny.
BEST FOR BRIDES
MISS TO MRS. TUMBLER
Nothing says, “I’m engaged!” like drinking coffee (or iced tea) out of a miss-to-mrs mug. This Kate Spade one is great to bring on the go—so she can show off her ring and new engagement status everywhere she goes.
