Gal Pal Engagement Gift Guide
Pop the champagne! It’s time to celebrate! When your best girlfriends get engaged, it’s only natural that you want to start helping them to celebrate and share in their happiness! I’ve compiled some of my all time favorite “go-to” engagement gifts for my favorite ladies in waiting.
Kate Spade “From Them To Us” Gift Tracker
Once you’re engaged, the gifts and congratulations start rolling in pretty quickly. This is great gift for any type of bride to help keep up with the chaos of the gifts that start stacking up! It’s an added bonus that this notebook is absolutely beautiful! It has a beautiful index inside and even has a cute little box to be marked at the bottom of each entry for when the thank you note has been sent out.
A beautiful gift sure to make an impression.

Customizable Future Mrs. Mug
I absolutely LOVE a customizable gift. Putting that extra little touch of adding your girlfriends new name on her mug is certain to put a huge smile on her face! She should be able to get A LOT of use out of it and it’s certain to create an awesome Instagram moment, lol! I personally like this extra large mug as I’m sure your new bride to be friend will be spending many a nights up way too late playing around on Pinterest and messing with her budget!
HOWEVER!! Make sure you know your bride well enough to determine if she plans on taking her grooms name or not. Far more women are sticking with what they’ve known and loved their entire lives instead of spending the time at the social security office.
Cute and affordable. Just be prepared for about a two week turn around.

Kate Spade Alphabet Pendant Necklace
Again, if you know your bride is planning on changing her name, this is an excellent gift! So many women, once they’ve met their mate, start drafting out exactly what their name is going to look like paired with their beaus last name. So, allowing her to get a little more used to it while spending the next months in planning mode will feel pretty special! Another way to do this gift, is to get her her current initial so that she can always hang onto that piece of her. Up to you, you’ll know your best pal best. This also comes in silver and rose gold. Small, dainty and classy.
This would also make a great gift for a bridal shower.

From Girlfriend to Fiancé T-Shirt
This shirt is this gorgeous blush pink is soooooo stinking cute, I can’t stand it! I love the modern text with the fun script! In all honesty, I think this gift is just super fun. I have purchased this a time or two and the material is so soft too! So, even if this is just for fun, I’m sure your girlfriend will at least LOVE sleeping in this shirt!
It’s available in a TON of colors. And to take the guesswork out of getting this exact color, you’d choose peach.
Girlfriend to Fiance Shirt - $16.79
Miss to Mrs Travel Mug
You know… Because a girl can’t take her custom mug EVERYWHERE! This travel mug is just soooo feminine too! I do love this gift because it transcends past the wedding day too. Perfect for the bridal shower, but I say you should let your girl enjoy it for as long as friggin possible!
This mug is 16oz. BPA, lead and phthalate free. Still, a big microwave no-no.
Affordable, timeless, and perfect for that coffee consuming soon to be bride.

Customizable His and Her Initial Ring Dish
I adore this gift! It’s so practical and a girl can honestly use a few of these! I personally have three different ring dishes. One next to my bed for at night. One next to my bathroom sink for when I’m washing my face. And one at the kitchen for when I’m washing dishes. This particular ring dish is great because you can add the engagement date (or wedding date) as well as the couples initials. You can always choose either the ampersand, a head or a plus sign if you think your girl would have a preference. This is one of those gifts that she’ll love for a lifetime!
A huge bonus is that this is actually made out of a polymer clay, so it won’t break if it accidentally falls to the floor.
Custom Ring Dish - $16.00
Mr. and Mrs. Luggage Tags
These are so cute! It’s a simple and inexpensive way to show your gal you care. Honeymoons come after wedding days and your girl should be traveling in style post nuptials! Of course, these also make for a great bridal shower gift, but I think they are cute for that couple that plans on traveling a bit before the big day. I’ll admit, they’re a bit of a novelty item, but I can’t help myself. The girly part of me just thinks that all my brides should get to indulge in ALLLLLL the fun things that come along with the big day!
Leather Luggage Tags - $12.99
Custom Self Inking Address Stamp
Of all the gifts listed, this is my absolute favorite! Save the dates. Shower invites. Bachelorette party invites. Wedding Invites. Response Cards. No one wants to write their address THAT many times! Save your gal some time and get her a super practical AND adorable engagement gift. I personally love this particular one because it doesn’t have a last name on it yet, so no one feels weird. The couple will be able to use it for Christmas cards and such too before the big day.
Perfect gift for the girl who is all about ettiequte and getting her thank you notes out ASAP.
Self Inking Address Stamp - $27.99
Kate Spade MRS Necklace
Yep, another Kate Spade piece. What can I say? Kate Spade items just have a touch of class! And that’s what I love about this dainty necklace. It’s subtle, but guaranteed to make your bestie feel elegant and special. This is a “go-to” for me for bridal showers too. I think every girl needs one of these after they find that partner of her dreams. It’s also available in silver and rose gold depending on your bride’s taste and preference.
The necklace is 16” long and the most spendy item on the list, but I feel it’s 100% worth it.
Kate Spade Mrs. Necklace - $78.00
His and Her Vow Notebooks
Whether your girl and her partner are writing their own vows or not, I think this is such a beautiful gift. Even if the couple only use it to write a sweet note to their partner the for the day of their wedding, I think the sentiment of writing is so special at this wonderful time of a couples lives. Plus, if they are going to write and read their own vows, it’s way classier to do it out of a beautiful notebook than on a cell phone. Just saying.
They’re small and lightweight, so they’ll be easy to hold onto.
Vow Notebooks - $15.99
Kate Spade Engraved Gold Bangle
Such a beautiful, forever piece. If I had had this when I got married, I definitely would have worn it on my wedding day. “Toss the Bouquet.” “Tie the Knot.” “Happily Ever After.” It’s engraved with the perfect sentiments for that blushing bride. And being the fashion girl I am, I love that a great bangle pairs perfectly with a nice watch. If you’re looking for a gift for the girl who has everything, this is a perfect option!
Engraved Gold Bangle - $58.00
Customized Night Of Sky Art
If you really are stuck for a truly special gift, this one will likely bring tears to your friends eyes. This company takes the coordinates of your friends engagement site and creates a watercolor one of a kind piece of art of the night sky where she said yes! Hows that for special?! I’m also a big fan of this for a wedding gift to the couple taken from the location of their wedding on the night of. Too beautiful for words!
It’s also a printable, so you can choose a frame you feel suits your bestie best!
Customized Watercolor Art - $20.00
