An ongoing wine taste-testing service
Six-Month Gift subscription, available at Vinebox, $158
Vinebox sends a personalized wine flight to their door that's curated based on their personal tastes and preferences. It comes four times per year (so, a six-month membership means two boxes) so they can look forward to each new shipment, and trying them at home, as a couple. Each vial is portioned to be one full glass of fine wine, and members get $15 toward full-sized bottles each quarter.
A custom stamp gift set
Custom Stamp Gift Set, available on Paper Source, $39.95
Planning a wedding includes quite a bit of snail mail — invitations and thank-you notes, for starters — and a custom stamp can make the process go by much faster. Each gift set includes a self-inking stamper, one black ink cartridge, and one gift certificate that allows them to customize a stamp plate online.
If you've got a bigger budget, there's a beautiful copper version on Food52 from $185 as well.

Thoughtful coasters of a place close to their heart
Personalized Wood Coaster, Set of 4, available on Etsy, $26.95
An inexpensive homage to their hometown, where they met, or a place close to their hearts. No matter what their decor is like, coasters are small enough to mesh well, so you need to worry less about clashing. Personalize with an engraving of your choosing.
A smart coffee service
Three-Month Subscription, available at Driftaway, from $39
Driftaway is a gourmet coffee subscription that gets smarter the longer you use it — remembering preferences and steering members toward increasingly accurate brews for their palette. The first shipment is a tasting kit with four coffee profiles, which users rate online or in the app for the site to use as a flavor baseline.
If they love coffee, or they're going to need a lot of it to plan a wedding, this is a great way to ensure they'll discover new favorites and enjoy each morning cup, together.
A keepsake ring dish with a meaningful date
Ring Dish, available on Etsy, from $28
This keepsake ring dish serves as a daily reminder of the day one of them proposed, the day they met, or their upcoming wedding date if they've announced it. It's more portable than carving their initials together on a tree trunk, but the style has the same sweet aesthetic.
