Naturally, when a woman becomes engaged, everyone wants to see the ring! The last thing that you want, however, is to be detracting from a fabulous diamond ring with raggedy fingernails. This is why a gift certificate for a manicure is one of the best things to include in an engagement gift basket. Your friend can show off her ring with her hands in tip-top shape.

Certainly one of the most thrilling parts of planning a wedding is choosing the wedding gown and jewelry. To help her get up to speed on the latest styles, a few new wedding magazines are a great addition to the basket.

Make it even more fun by including a packet of those flag shaped Post-it notes, so she can mark the pages with her favorite bridal gowns, veils, and pieces of wedding jewelry.

Planning a wedding can be a bit daunting at first, so you might want to have a wedding planning book as part of your engagement gift basket. There are many great books available, and there is one to cater to every type of bride. There are wedding planning books for brides on a budget, diy brides, traditional brides, modern brides, and everything in between. I personally like the books that come with plenty of space to fill in things like the guest list or names of prospective vendors, as well as lots of handy pockets for brochures and swatches.

If your favorite book does not include these extras, think about throwing in a separate binder to help your bride get organized.

It is very fun for a newly engaged young lady to think about taking her husband’s name. If you feel fairly confident that your friend will be changing her name when she gets married, it would be wonderful to include a couple of items with her new monogram or initial in the engagement gift basket. A box of pretty notecards with her new initial on them will come in very handy for writing all of those thank you notes after the wedding. A cute cosmetic bag with her new monogram would be a neat thing to take on her honeymoon. In fact, one great idea is to assemble the entire engagement gift in a monogrammed tote bag, instead of a basket. The tote is something that she will be able to use day in and day out after the wedding.

Sentimental gifts are always a welcome addition to a gift basket. Especially if it is the bride’s sister who is putting together a special gift, she might want to pass along a family heirloom for the bride to wear on her wedding day. The sister’s tiara or a grandmother’s Irish lace hankie could make a terrific “something old” or “something borrowed” for the bride. Maybe you could even toss in a fancy pair of blue lace undies for her “something blue”!

The final thing to put into an engagement gift basket is a bottle of Champagne. After all, when a couple becomes engaged, there will be many occasions to raise a glass in a toast. An engagement is a wonderful excuse to celebrate and have a party!
