21 Best Gift Ideas For Couples
His and hers. His and his. Hers and hers. His and theirs. When you’re looking for the perfect gifts for couples that have everything, you may struggle to find a good gift that doesn’t feel lame. You want to find the perfect present they will both enjoy – and of course something they don’t already have. But how do you find a meaningful gift for the happy couple that lets them know you really want them to have a great gift experience?
Not to worry – we’ve done the hard work of shopping for you. Here we have a list of the best gifts for couples – some we’ve received, some we’ve given, and some that we have our eyes on for this Christmas. No matter what kind of couple you’re shopping for or what budget you’re working with, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect match with these unique gift ideas!
How to Choose the Best Gifts for Couples
When deciding on a great gift idea for a couple, there are a few things to consider:
- Do they have a mutual hobby or shared interest, such as camping, hiking, or baking?
- Are there types of entertainment they enjoy together, such as music or watching horror movies?
- Do they have a couple’s bucket list of activities that they haven’t yet accomplished?
- Is there an item for their home that they’ve wanted but haven’t yet gotten?
I personally like to gift experiences or consumable gifts whenever possible, since many people already have so many things (and nobody likes clutter or duplicate gifts).
Simple DIY gift baskets such as a popcorn bucket filled with candy and a movie gift card, a spa-themed gift basket, or a dish filled with the ingredients to make a yummy new recipe are all creative gifts for your favorite couple.
Museum memberships, subscription boxes, a cooking class, a couple nights at a nearby hotel, or even an IOU to babysit for them to have a date night are all unique gifts that they would love.
If shopping for gifts that you can physically give them is more your style, these couples gifts are sure to be a hit.

Top Gifts for Couples That Have Everything
Every couple most likely started with great conversation, but after a while those long talks tend to die down. This set of 100 conversation cards is a great way to talk about something other than work or the kids at dinner, or just reconnect with each other before you go to bed. No matter how long the couple has been together, these cards are a great idea.
FYI: If you want a free option to use in your own relationship, we really like the Paired app. You get one question or quiz each day, and it has been a great tool for my husband and me to have conversations we never would’ve thought about.
Perfect for long-distance couples or those who travel for work a lot, these bracelets vibrate and light up whenever the other touches it - keeping couples connected no matter where in the world they are. Each kit includes 2 waterproof bracelets, 2 chargers, and 2 instruction manuals.
A date night subscription box is a great way to add some spice to your dates - without having to think of creative ideas on your own! Each box includes 4-5 challenges or activities designed to strengthen your relationship. Subscription options are for 1-, 3-, 6-, or 12-months.
If you’d prefer a faith-based subscription box, this Faith Date Night In box is a good option!

A guaranteed win this holiday season is this meat and cheese gift basket - no one can deny it!

Whether a couple does this project or the entire family joins in, this is a must for family gifts. Simply follow the directions and within a few hours they will have a gorgeous keepsake statue of the family's hands.
Enjoy 16 expertly-curated coffees from the world's top producing regions. Each bag consists of 1.8 ounces of freshly-roasted whole bean coffee, tasting notes and brewing tips, for a total of 1.8 pounds of coffee. We recommend going with whole bean and adding in a quality bean grinder for a complete gift!
I've personally given Bean Box as a gift, and have tried it for myself - and every flavor was just as amazing as the last! This is a gift that any coffee-loving person would love to have.
I built a custom cornhole set for my husband, but it wasn't easy. I'd recommend ordering a personalized cornhole set from this 5-star seller on Etsy! Each set comes with 2 board and 8 bags for hours of backyard fun.
If you need a gift option that's a little safer and maybe a bit budget-friendly, this pair of coffee mugs are a pretty cute option. Saying "Mr. Right" and "Mrs. Always Right" this is sure to bring them a chuckle - as long as they have a good sense of humor.
The Adventure Challenge is a super fun way to try new things and create meaningful memories. Step outside of your typical habits and day-to-day routine and connect with those who mean the most to you. With different adventure books for families, friends, dinner dates, couples, and even a solo challenge, there is something for everyone. Option: add an Instax camera to capture your fun!

If you're shopping for unusual gifts for an artistic couple, this is the perfect present for them. Sensual body paint is spread on a canvas while the couple is getting down and dirty which makes for a grand abstract piece of artwork. They'll have new home decor and a secret that only they will know.
There are personalized gifts, and then there are personalized throw blankets with a word search puzzle on them. Talk about a unique gift! Choose 15 words that are meaningful to your gift recipient, and they will search for them (and think of you) every time they bundle up with this blanket. Made in North Carolina.

Don’t forget to add their favorite bottle of wine to complete this perfect Christmas gift!
This hand poured candle is a cozy and thoughtful gift for just about any couple. Handmade in Oregon, the label shows a map of your chosen city, the couple's name, and a date on the lid. Upgrade to the "gift box" option to also include an "I Love Us" ceramic coffee mug, gold foil "All In" playing cards, a "Mr. <3 Mrs." lumbar pillow cover, and a congratulations card. Makes a good Christmas gift, anniversary gift, or wedding gift for your favorite lovebirds.
Some of my favorite gifts are from Uncommon Goods, and this sweet gift is just one of them.

Can be gifted as a solo print, or framed in the material of your choice.
There may be no better personalized gift than a custom line drawing.
