Engagement Gifts to Wish Them Good Luck & Good Health

When two people decide to tie the knot, it’s a pretty exciting time — not just for them, but for everyone around them. If it’s your best mate, your sibling, or your favourite cousin getting engaged, it’s natural to want to give them something meaningful. Sure, you could grab a bottle of bubbly or a gift voucher and call it a day, but why not go the extra step and give them something that symbolises good luck and good health for the journey ahead?

After all, love is about more than just romance — it’s about supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. So if you’re looking for a thoughtful engagement gift that says, “I’m rooting for you two,” then here are some feel-good ideas from Healthy Hampers to help you out.

Houseplants for a Healthy Start

Houseplants aren’t just trendy decor — they’re also symbols of life, growth, and good health. Gifting a couple a beautiful indoor plant, like a peace lily, fiddle leaf fig, or a snake plant, is a lovely way to wish them a fresh, thriving start to their future together.

Plants purify the air, bring a calming vibe to any home, and require a little teamwork to care for — just like a relationship. Pop it in a nice pot with a handwritten tag saying “May your love grow strong and green,” and you’ve nailed it.

A Lucky Charm with a Personal Touch

Symbols of good luck have been around for ages. Whether it’s a horseshoe, an evil eye charm, or even a four-leaf clover in a frame, these trinkets make charming little gifts with loads of meaning behind them.

To make it extra special, find one that reflects their heritage or interests. For example, a Celtic knot for an Irish couple, or a jade charm for someone with Asian heritage. It’s the kind of keepsake they can hang near the front door or place on a shelf to remind them of all the positive vibes coming their way.

Wellness Hampers for Good Health

Nothing says “take care of each other” quite like a beautiful wellness hamper. Fill a basket with things like herbal teas, bath salts, essential oils, healthy snacks, or even a good-quality water bottle set. It’s a gentle nudge to prioritise their well-being — both individually and as a couple.

There are loads of local Aussie brands doing gorgeous wellness boxes, or you can make your own with a DIY touch. Throw in a couple of face masks, a soy candle, and maybe a voucher for a couples’ massage, and you’ve got yourself a thoughtful, health-focused engagement gift.

Cookbooks That Celebrate Healthy Living

Sharing meals is such an important part of any relationship, and what better way to encourage a healthy lifestyle than with a cookbook that inspires them to cook together?

Pick one that’s full of nourishing recipes, or one by an Aussie chef they love. If they’re into plant-based eating, Mediterranean food, or just want to cut back on takeaway, there’s something out there to suit. Pair it with a personalised wooden spoon or a cute apron set and boom — useful and heartfelt.

Customised Crystal or Gemstone Gifts

For the couple who’s a little bit spiritual (or just into beautiful things), crystals or gemstones can be a symbolic and beautiful engagement gift. Rose quartz is the classic stone of love, while amethyst promotes calm and clarity — both perfect for newly engaged couples.

You could go for a small crystal set, a handmade bracelet, or even a decorative piece like a crystal tree. Include a little card explaining the meanings behind each stone, and it turns from just a pretty object into a gift filled with intention.

Lucky Bamboo or Bonsai Trees

If you like the idea of giving plants but want something extra symbolic, lucky bamboo is a great option. It’s known for attracting positive energy, good fortune, and prosperity — all good things for a couple starting a life together. Bonus: it’s really low maintenance.

Another great choice is a bonsai tree. It represents harmony, peace, and patience — plus, it’s a bit of a conversation starter. Just make sure they’re not total black thumbs!

Personalised Keepsakes with Meaning

A customised gift can go a long way when it comes to showing thoughtfulness. Consider a framed print with a meaningful quote about love, luck, or health. Or maybe a calendar that starts on their engagement date with monthly affirmations or health reminders.

Even something simple like matching mugs that say “To love, laughter, and good health” can become a daily reminder of your good wishes. Don’t underestimate the power of small but meaningful!

A Good Luck Foodie Gift

In many cultures, certain foods are thought to bring good luck or health. You could gift them a beautiful hamper with items like honey (for sweetness), pomegranates (for fertility and abundance), or even a fancy olive oil (for peace and health).

A lovely Aussie twist? A local gourmet food basket with native ingredients, such as wattleseed, finger lime, lemon myrtle tea, or Davidson plum jam. It’s delicious, unique, and supports local producers.

Books on Love & Wellness

Sometimes, a good book is the best gift. Find a read that focuses on emotional health, communication, or even the science of long-lasting love. Even a journal for couples can be incredibly helpful (and heartfelt).

It doesn’t have to be too deep or serious — even a cute guided journal with prompts like “What do you love about each other today?” can become a cherished keepsake.

At the end of the day, engagement gifts don’t need to be flashy or expensive to mean something. Choosing something that speaks to good health, positive energy, and lasting happiness is a beautiful way to show you care.

So whether you go the plant route, create a wellness hamper, or find a quirky good-luck charm, you’re giving them more than just a present — you’re giving your support for the long road ahead.

This is to love, laughter, and a future filled with good vibes.
