One of the first engagement presents we received was the holy grail of all wedding registries: the Kitchenaid mixer. Mr. Goodlaff joked that if getting engaged was all it took for people to buy us awesome kitchen gadgets, he would have proposed a lot sooner. I think he was mostly kidding...
Another early engagement gift that I received from his sister was two bridal books: The Green Bride Guide by Kate L. Harrison and The Paper Bride by Esther K. Smith.

The Green Bride Guide is full of information on how to plan and throw a green wedding. From Engagement to Reception to Honeymoon, it’s got great tips on green-ifying your wedding and ideas for every bride at every budget. There's also a great collection of links to a ton of green resources. Very cool!
