You only need to give a gift if…
A. There’s a party. Unless it was otherwise specified on the invitation, or it is an informal get-together that is not being hosted, you should bring an engagement gift.
B. You are very close to the couple. If so, give something sweet, sentimental and thoughtful right after they get engaged.Price Suggestions: $10- $60.

4. Custom Etched Bottle of Wine
Forget the borring bottle of champagne and do something meaningful that they can cherish AND drink. Get a custom bottle of wine or etched champagne bottle made with their photo or their name. Use code EE20PERCENTOFF for 20% OFF.
4. Wishing Tree
I love this idea to bring to a party or coordinate with a few good friends and send the couple off with a tree full of happy wishes. Put your wishes on the tree and then the couple can read it later in the night!
