I'm a wine lover - so wine gifts were appreciated.
I also loved any wedding planning type things (like bridal magazines, planners, etc).
ETA: We also paid for our wedding and immediately felt the crunch of finances as we tried to save. I gift card for a favorite restaurant or even health food store (for a date night dinner) would be practical and sweet thing, I'd think!
The plastic hiking wine glasses are great, I love ours. Platypus also makes a plastic wine bladder pouch for light carrying:

I'm not sure if it still exists, but there was a yellow jersey or maillot jaune wine, in a plastic bottle which fit into a bike water bottle holder. You could combine some of these things, maybe with a map of a nice bike route?
The date night, relaxation concept is a great one too.
The wedding related book stuff is also good.
@oracle: I agree with a giftcard especially since they live in a small space.
I love these types of gifts.
I had gotten my cousin a monogramed LL Bean bag with a desk calendar from Sierra (hiking website), a cook book for couples, journal and fun pens.
@oracle: Mmmm, gift certificates could be good.
These are all great suggestions, like the wine pouches! I've been looking into plastic (BPA-free) wine glasses, maybe a neoprene wine carrier, and some wine stakes for the ground (to hold the wine glasses), but then was thinking stemless glasses would probably make more sense...
We have ones like this:

While they do weigh more, one of the pros is when you stick the base into the top, it seals them, so no red wine drops all over your bag.

Hi bees!
I am looking to get an engagement gift for one of my best friends and her fiance. They just recently moved into a smaller apartment, so I don't think they have people over much and neither one of them really knows how to cook. They're both outdoorsy/athletic city dwellers, and into health stuff...so I'm trying to come up with something creative.
A gift recommended to me was outdoor picnic wine glasses, a friend got them and love them. Not a bad idea...let me know if you have any suggestions or things you loved to receive!
