Great Gifts for Couples

Below are a number of really great couple gift ideas. Once again, when you’re setting out to buy couple gifts, it’s important to remember that all couples are different.

Not only will age affect the gift ideas you consider, but the personalities of the couples will also play a huge role in determining a great gift.

Gift ideas for married couples might be different than gifts for newlyweds or gifts for new couples.

Just remember to gauge your receivers and you’ll have less of a chance of going wrong. Here are some great gifts for couples that vary by price, style, and utility.

Escape Room Box

With people spending more time at home right now, an escape room subscription box might be the perfect gift for your couple!

Action Camera

Does your couple go on a lot of adventures or are they really into capturing memories? Then get them an action camera like a GoPro!

This is especially true when it comes to activities related to water and/or speed such as biking.

Couples Mugs

Related to the coffee sample set above, a (new) set of couples mugs could be a nice gift as well. We like these since they are definitely for couples – and a little bit cliché – but don’t have any writing on them.

This way, you don’t really have to worry about someone’s sense of humor and whether they might be offended by a saying on a mug or not.

Indoor S’mores Maker

We love this indoor s’mores maker! To be honest, we’re huge fans of s’mores but it is often too cold in the spring or fall to have a fire outside.

If your couple is also a fan of s’mores (and lives in a colder climate), consider this as a gift!

Adventure Book

This adventure book is a nice way for your couple to collect photos, memories, and meaningful snippets from their life together.

Having one place where you can look back at all of your adventures together is really valuable.

If your couple hasn’t started an adventure book – or a scrapbook, etc. – yet, then this gift might give them the push to do just that.

This is also one of those great gift ideas for couples that have everything since it’s not just another material possession you can buy off the shelf!

Mix Box by Homemade Bakers

Once again we have a gift idea that is related to “doing something together as a couple”. We just believe that these are the best gifts since they can help strengthen a relationship bond.

If your couple has a sweet tooth, then consider getting them a baking box. It’s great for these couples that are occasional bakers but don’t feel 100% comfortable in the kitchen.

The instructions and the packaged ingredients make it easy to follow along and make is easy to do something together as a team.

Couples Journal

If one (or both) of the partners keep a journal and like to write, a couples journal might be a suitable gift idea. It gives the couple the chance to answer thought-provoking questions about their relationship and their hopes together.

The journal is great for couples who are very open and vulnerable with each other. However, if there is one partner who really dislikes writing and often suffers from writers block, maybe reconsider this gift.

You don’t want to put pressure on anyone. In a case like this, the adventure book mentioned above might be a better choice.

New Bed Sheets

Last – but not least – you could also consider getting your couple a nice new set of bed sheets.

If you’ve heard them complaining about their current set or raving about a nice set of sheets they’ve experienced in a hotel before, this might be a gift that they’ll appreciate.

For us bed sheets are something that we don’t really purchase often – even if we’re not 100% happy with our current set.

“They’ll do for a while longer”… is often our thought process and maybe it’s the same for your couple.

Things to Consider When Buying Gifts for Couples

Before you purchase any gifts for couples, there are a few things that you should consider. We’ll talk about some of the most important things in the following section.

Interests

It goes without saying that you should consider the couples’ interests before getting them a gift. Ideally you consider both their joint interests and their individual interests – assuming you know them that well.

If not, that’s totally fine. In that case, we’d recommend you opt for one of the safer gifts that are not really tied to a hobby.

Quality

Of course the quality of the item that you plan to purchase also matters. While this is important for pretty much any items, it matters even more when it comes to electronic items.

In general, you should always do your due deligence and read the description as well as the product reviews before buying anything.

Price

Another important consideration that you’ll have to have is the price of the gift. Your budget will likely depend on how well you know the couple.

If they are acquaintances, it’s totally acceptable to get them an affordable gift. The gesture of “I thought of you” is sometimes almost more important than the actual gift.

If it’s a couple that you know well, then you might be a little more comfortable upping the spend on the gift you buy. Ultimately, you need to know your budget and stay true to it.

The worst thing you can do is overspend and then be in a worse situation financially. No couple that you know well would wish that upon you!

And there you have it – 21 great gifts for couples. With so many different couple gift ideas out there, you’re bound to find something for that special duo. Just remember to keep your receivers in mind when you buy and you’ll have less of a chance of going wrong!

As always, Stay Curious,
