If a special person in your life has recently announced a wedding engagement, you’re probably going to want to make a big deal about it. A congratulations gift is in order!
Whether it’s a close friend or a family member, a small token is nice, but a gift that keeps on giving is even better.
The engagement gift box is a relatively new trend, but it’s quickly becoming a modern wedding staple. This is a great gesture because it keeps the fun through the months leading up to the big day.
To help you find the ideal engagement gift boxes for the special couple in your life, we’ve reviewed 10 of the most popular options so that you can get a sense of what to expect and if an engagement gift box is worth it.
Each engagement gift box in this collection is designed to serve a specific function. MissToMrs has put a lot of effort into anticipating the emotions and needs of the bride as she moves through each stage of the wedding planning experience, and packs each bride subscription box with items that complement every moment.
The ‘Let’s Plan This!’ bride box hits the ground running by delivering an assortment of gifts that help celebrate the recent announcement as well as helpful planning tools.
Brides can expect gifts like a celebratory tumbler, an engagement ring cleaning kit, a fun yet functional calendar, and a variety of checklists to keep them on track.
Not every wedding subscription box is equal. If you are comparing MissToMrs to other brands, make sure to research reviews on quality, cost, and customer support. You should also look into custom delivery options and cancellation policies before making a final decision.

This engagement gift box brand kicks things off right by asking a few key questions. Proving details like your future last name and the gender of your partner results in a fun level of customization. All of the contents in The Bride Box, as you may expect, are specifically for the bride. Subscribers can expect fun apparel, spa, and beauty products, and useful household items.
According to reviews, the most popular options seem to be from their one-off signature collection. Brides and gift-givers get to choose a specific theme, resulting in a bigger bang for your buck.
The Blushing Bride Box is a fun option for brides that are looking for something a little different. Retailing from the UK, brides are treated to gifts from a network of European manufacturers. Each box, like “Hen Party Time” and “Big Day Essentials”, is themed with a handful of items to celebrate certain hallmarks. They also list each item on their website so that you can see individual pricing and judge the value for yourself.
This is slightly more expensive than other options. Also, it’s technically not a subscription bridal. However, the packaging is stunning and there are a lot of high-quality options to choose from. So, they get a pass.
Their ready-to-ship, semi-custom, and custom gift boxes are ideal for brides who love showing off their wedding journey on social media and creative couples that have crafted their own wedding logo.
The Future Mrs. Box is the best engagement box for people who love well-planned experiences. The fun starts before you even place your order with a comprehensive quiz. Your answers produce monthly customized gifts for you and your bridal party.
With flexible 3, 6, 9, and 12-month subscription options, this brand is the best engagement box for brides (yes, same-sex brides included) that just want a little simple fun. The owners of The Ring Boxes have put a lot of thought into hand-picked items that focus on the celebratory moments of wedding planning.
Something New Bridal Boxes offer brides a lot of balance. Full-sized items are packed into a variety of themed packages that focus on specific scenarios like winter brides and keeping fit. We were also pleasantly surprised to find discount codes, helping brides but a little extra aside for the honeymoon.
The big claim from this industry staple is that each box contains $120 worth of gifts. Each engagement gift box contains a fun mix of apparel, planning tools, party items, and beauty products. Reviews love the quality of each gift and are equally impressed with their one-time gift box options.
The Paisley Box’s standout value is what they offer beyond the bride. Brides are treated to everything they could expect but there are also gifts that appeal to the groom and boxes dedicated to the ring bearer and flower girl.
Birchbox ditches trinkets and party items with beauty items that will prove useful well into the future. Carefully curated beauty products follow the bride’s beauty timeline, arming you with skincare regimens, fragrances, and enough colors to experiment with new styles for special events and the big day.
