Even as engagement season seems to have expanded from a few months to year-round, chances are your Instagram feed will soon become (if it hasn’t already) a zone for the betrothed. Between the cozy weather, the abundance of family gatherings, and the season’s festive spirit, the holidays have become a convenient time to pledge forever love. Should your best friend, cousin, or co-worker receive a ring, there’s all the more reason to eat, drink, and be merry.
Accordingly, let your gifts do double-duty this year: help them commemorate the milestone while celebrating the giving season. From a new set of towels for the marital bathroom or champagne flutes for the constant toasts, here are the 22 items we’re bringing to the engagement party.
