Gift for newly engaged couple

My SIL just got engaged last week. DH and I are meeting them out to celebrate. I sent her some flowers and a "congrats" balloon, but wanted to do a little something more when we see them.
She got a binder already. Nothing too crazy or creative since I WFT, have a 2 year old and we're meeting this Fri night. LOL!
Don't have too much time to do a lot of research.

Just wondering where to go for something cute and somewhat creative. Where do they sell the "wedding countdown" clock?
maybe a cute pic frame?

know any place? kohls? Target? etc
Figured I can run on my lunch break
Thanks!

It's really for the woman, but when I just want to give something small, I like to give a pretty little ring holder for the new engagement ring.

Something like this

Bride/Groom Christmas ornament?

Hallmark probably has some cute stuff.

Kohl's has a frame w/ 2 rings "welded" together.

Maybe get a silly book - like the grooms guide to wedding type.

Re: Gift for newly engaged couple

My SIL bought me a ton of the most recent wedding mags. I really appreciated that. You could also get her a subscription to 1 or 2 of them.

My MOH gave us a engaged frame she saw in hallmark. I still have the photo we took the night we were engaged in it.

Personalized wine glasses is a nice idea. I used to give those as gifts to newly engaged couples!
