Engagement Gift List — Share Ideas With Friends and Family
Engagements have no registry tradition, so friends fall back on champagne and vouchers. A short private list answers the question without making gifts feel expected.
Sam & Jules — engagement drinks
We're not registering for anything big — the wedding is a long way off. If you'd like to mark it, these are small things we'd love.
Good to know
- Drinks are at ours; bringing anything on the day is completely optional.
- The picnic set and the photo album are the two we'd use most.
Please avoid
- Please, no engraved keepsakes with the date.
- No champagne flutes — we have plenty.

How to make this one work
1Keep it small
Engagement gifts are usually modest — a short list of low-cost ideas feels right.
2Point ahead
If a wedding list is coming later, say so, so guests don't feel they're giving twice.
3Two or three favourites
Mark the ideas you'd love most so people who want guidance have it.
4Share privately
Send the link to people who ask rather than posting it with the announcement.
Keep it modest: a handful of small, specific ideas plus one or two experiences you'd love to share — a dinner out, a class, a weekend away. Mark your favourites so people who want guidance have it, and say if a wedding list is coming later so nobody feels they're giving twice.
Share the link only with people who ask, rather than posting it with the announcement. Guests view and reserve anonymously with no account, so the page never turns into a public request. If you want reservations hidden from you, Surprise mode is optional on the paid plans, and group ideas with a target are paid coordination between guests — no money moves through HintGifts.
