Are you shopping for the perfect Christmas gifts for newly engaged couples? Or maybe you’re recently engaged yourself and wondering what to add to your wishlist? At Yellowbrick on 39, a charming wedding venue near Canton, Ohio, I’ve seen countless couples step into their wedding planning journey, and I've seen firsthand just how meaningful the right gift can be during this exciting journey. We've created this blog to inspire you as you shop for the most thoughtful and creative gifts to celebrate this exciting season in your special couples life!
1. Personalized Keepsakes for Newly Engaged Couples
Engagement is a one-of-a-kind milestone, and personalized gifts make it unforgettable. Some popular choices include:
Custom Ring Dishes or Platter: We adore this perfectly pretty platter for keeping their engagement ring safe on the nightstand or vanity.
Engraved Ornaments: Celebrate their first Christmas with this unique "The Night We Met" ornament featuring their names and engagement date.
Wedding Countdown Calendars: This adorable wooden countdown calendar is a stylish way to count down the days until their wedding and (bonus) it doubles as an anniversary reminder.
Pro Tip: Shop local! Canton has plenty of artisan shops, like Barron Design Co, where you can find custom
and handmade keepsakes to add a personal touch to your gift.
2. Wedding Planning Essentials
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but the right tools make it enjoyable. Check out these wedding planning must-haves:
Wedding Planner Books: Packed with checklists, timelines, and tips, these are invaluable for staying organized. We love the layout, look and durability of this organizer.
Personalized Notebooks: One for the bride and one for the groom—ideal for jotting down vows or vendor details. How about a promise book or vow book to jot down thoughts, plans or ideas along the engagement journey?
Engagement Gift Boxes: Curate a box with essentials like wedding magazines, a "Bride" mug, and a calming candle for stress-free planning.

Give them the gift of memories! Some of my favorite experience gifts include:
Couples Spa Day Gift Cards: Help them unwind and relax together—check out local spas in the Canton area.
Engagement Photo Session: Book a photographer to capture their love story at scenic spots like the stunning gardens at Yellowbrick on 39 or the nearby Norma Johnson Conservation Center, with its picturesque pine rows.
Cooking Classes or Wine Tastings: Canton offers fantastic culinary experiences that make for a fun date night and might inspire their wedding menu.
4. Home and Lifestyle Gifts for Newly Engaged Couples
Engagement often means blending lives—and homes. Help them start building their nest:
Personalized Throw Blankets: Cozy and perfect for winter evenings spent planning their big day.
Quality Cookware or Barware Sets: Practical gifts with a personal touch, like engraving their initials.
Custom Artwork: A print of their engagement location in Canton or a meaningful quote to hang in their home.
5. Gifts That Help with Wedding Planning in Canton
Planning a wedding can be both thrilling and expensive, so why not lend a hand?
Gift Cards to Local Wedding Vendors: Contribute to their wedding dreams with a gift card to their florist, photographer, or even their venue (like Yellowbrick on 39!).
Date Night Basket: Include wine from a local Canton or Tuscarawas County winery or Brewery, candles, and a playlist of wedding songs to inspire them while working on details like their seating chart.
6. Unique and Fun Engagement Gift Ideas
Looking for something creative? These gifts are sure to impress:
Custom Star Maps: Showcase the night sky from the day they got engaged.
Wedding-Themed Subscription Boxes: Curated boxes filled with goodies like skincare, décor, and wedding planning tips.
