Engagement Gift Ideas from My Favorite Pittsburgh Shops!

by Burgh Brides November 30, 2017

Proposal season is upon us and I’m willing to bet you know someone who just got engaged!  Or maybe you received a shiny new ring yourself!  Either way, saying “Yes” is definitely worth celebrating.  It’s easy to do with these engagement gift ideas…all of which are made or sold by local Pittsburgh friends.  So say “Congrats”, toast to the soon-to-be newlyweds, and shop small at the same time!

Heart Shaped Glass Dish

Is there anything more perfect for a couple in love than something in the shape of a heart?  I think not.  Pop into Shadyside’s or Squirrel Hill’s Glassworks and see their collection of chic Annieglass pieces.  Ranging from 5 to 8 inches and rimmed in gold or platinum, these special works are great as ring dishes or even just a decorative addition to the newlywed’s home.

Custom Return Address Stamp

I bet even the couple who has everything doesn’t have a personalized return address stamp.  Between the engagement party, bridal shower, and wedding, they are going to be writing out A LOT of thank you cards.  Make their job a little bit easier by gifting them a quick and easy solution to the upper left hand corner (or envelope flap!).  From cursive to contemporary, bold to basic, these beauties are customized with love by Blush Paper Co.

Monogram Cosmetics Case

Why wait until the wedding day to start using that new last name?  Surprise the new bride-to-be in your life with a fun custom cosmetics case with her initials (make sure she’s changing her name first!).  Blush Paper Co. offers these beauties in natural, white, and black, all with a silk lining and a variety of color options for the monogram.  They’re great for holding makeup, jewelry, or little accessories.  Knowing me, I’d probably use it to hold snacks.
