Cue the confetti, your sister is engaged! If you're looking for a thoughtful engagement gift for your sister and her new fiancé, we can help. While the couple probably doesn't have a wedding registry yet, it's still worth checking beforehand. Then, you can decide whether your present is for your sister or if it's a gift for the couple.

Fresh flowers, champagne and personalized keepsakes are all good engagement gifts for your sister, but they're not your only options. If she's pragmatic, something practical like a wedding planning journal or a gift card tucked into an engagement card for your sister may be better. Ultimately, you'll want to pick a gift that appeals to her personality and interests, and her partner's, if you're including them. Check out our favorite gifts for a newly engaged sister below, from elegant jewelry to fun couple's experiences and more.
