In the wake of the pandemic and shutting down with our boos in quarantine, you probably have a bestie or two (or seven) that have recently gotten engaged. And with more than half of the most popular days for engagements falling between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, odds are you’re going to be doing more than just shopping for holiday gifts this year.

But this exciting time in your BFF’s life just gives us all one more reason to celebrate! Before all the wedding planning kicks into high gear and things get more than a little stressful, let her know just how much she means to you with a thoughtful engagement gift. After all, you were her first soul mate, right? Ahead, seven ways to show the bride to be you’re on her team—and always will be.

Gifts for Your Engaged Friend:

1. Ballet Slippers Blush Pink Nail Enamel

She’s going to be showing off that ring a whole lot–so make sure her nails are painted in the perfect subtle color. Soft blush is always a good idea–and Essie’s “Ballet Slippers” is a classic shade that won’t distract from the main event.

2. Mrs. Bridal White and Silver Glitter Acrylic Box Clutch

Whether she carries this on the big day, honeymoon, or both, a clutch emblazoned with her future title is guaranteed to kick her excitement level up a notch–or several. Let the wedding planning commence!

3. Holiday Emergency Stress Kit Skincare 3-Pack

If your bestie just got engaged, she’s likely about to embark on an announcement tour during the holidays. And that can be stressful, to say the least. Prevent any last-minute breakouts and get her an emergency skincare stress kit. She’ll thank you later after all of her aunts snap endless photos of her and her new jewelry. 

4. Mariella White Pearl Tulle Bow

If she’s obsessed with the vintage vibe, an old-school hair accessory like a pearl hair bow will help put your main chick in a bridal state of mind for planning. Plus, she can rock it for pre (and post!) wedding events.

5. Bride Gold Necklace
