Engagement Gifts for Men
Getting engaged is a time to celebrate. Show the couple how happy you are for them with a thoughtful gift. Keep in mind, however, that engagement gifts for men will be different from those for women. Choose something that is thoughtful and decidedly male-friendly.

Grilling Gifts
-
Give him a new grilling set to celebrate the engagement. The new equipment will come in handy, as he will likely be cooking for his new bride. If he doesn't already have a grill, get him a small grill to start with. Include a personalized apron with his name and the date of the wedding on it. Other items to go along with this gift include grilling tools, such as spatulas and a rib-grilling rack.
Liquor
-
Give the newly engaged man a fine bottle of whisky or brandy, depending on his tastes. Along with the liquor, include a set of crystal glasses. Choose glasses that work with the type of liquor that you give. Toast together to his impending nuptials with this masculine and fun engagement gift.

Electronics
-
If he enjoys the latest and greatest gadgets, consider giving him that as an engagement gift. A digital camera is an optimal present, as he can use it to take photographs at engagement parties and on his honeymoon. Portable DVD players are useful for taking on a honeymoon as well.
Watch
-
A stainless steel watch is a timeless engagement gift. Not only are they practical, but they're also a stylish memento. A silver or gold-plated watch is an option, as well. Get a special message engraved on the back of the watch -- perhaps writing "Congratulations" with the impending wedding date, if you have that information.
