If they drink, that's a nice idea.

Thanks all for the advice. I’m going to get a nice bottle of champagne for them

My parents got us a national trust membership for the year which was amazing. Meant we spent time outdoors and got to spend more alone time together! I’m all for making memories :)

Engagement gifts aren't really a standard thing, so you've got room to do something small and meaningful rather than splash out. Something they'll actually use beats an ornament in a flat that's already tight on space.

A framed map of where they live or where they met is the kind of thing that works, and The Unique Maps Co. does those in an antique style. It's personal without being fussy, and it doesn't need shelf space.

If you'd rather buy in a shop, a nice bottle of something and a card is completely acceptable for an engagement and nobody expects more.

The OP decided almost a month ago to buy a bottle of champagne.
