Has anyone had grandchildren that have got engaged?
What did you give them as an engagement present?
Ideas please

Money always welcome.

Don’t think they want ‘stuff’.

I’d say a voucher would be preferable to actual money

Not sure that it would occur to me to give them a present at all!
I suppose depends up to a point on how many grandchildren you have and how close you are.
Money would need to be a decent amount, whereas ‘that pretty plate’, ‘that frightful vase’ can always be remembered as a ‘a present from grandmother yonks ago’.

Eons ago girls had a bottom drawer to collect things for their future married life. I never had one of those as I’m probably just not practical enough
