Finding the right gifts for couples can be tricky. After all, the gift ideas have to please both sides of the equation. If done right, these gifts are used together with joy. They can be subscription boxes that create date nights at home or wedding registry gifts they might never expect. Consider more practical gifts for grandparents who have been together for decades or whimsical tokens for newer couples still dating.
If you’re not sure that one gift is really enough, you can always start with a combination of girlfriend gifts and boyfriend gifts. We also found last-minute gifts for anniversaries and Amazon Prime gifts for when you’re pressed for time. With these ideas for every type of couple and budget, you’re sure to win them both over!
The most thoughtful and appreciated gifts for couples are ones they’ll both actually use. Duos that spend most of their time together in the morning will make the most out of gifts for coffee lovers. Big-hearted charitable types appreciate gifts that give back, while dog parents get a kick out of personalized pet gifts. No matter what you choose, make sure you pick something they’ll both enjoy receiving.
For wine fanatics: Coravin Wine Preservation System
Wine-sipping duos will toast to you after you give them a genius Coravin Wine Preservation System. It’s one of the best gifts for couples and the coolest tech gifts for wine lovers interested in just a glass or two at a time. The science-based system extends the life of opened bottles, helping them save money—and every drop of their best vino.
For outdoorsy pairs: Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0
Backyard relaxation and camping adventures are instantly improved with the Solo Stove Bonfire. This bundled set comes with a stand so the couple in your life can use it just about anywhere on the very first day they open it. It’s a smokeless wonder that makes building a campfire easier and cleaner than ever. A removable ashtray and one-minute setup also make this one of the best gifts for husbands if they love spending time outside.
For entertainers: Personalized Charcuterie Board
If they’re always inviting you over for wine, cheese and small bites, that’s exactly why a personalized charcuterie board is one of the most thoughtful gifts for couples they’ll really use. Embellish it with a surname or special date, and then watch their eyes light up when they receive it. It’s one of our favorite personalized gifts and a winner for every type of host.
For adventurers: National Parks Travel Map
Couples can document their adventures on this handmade map. Measuring 10 inches tall and 16.5 inches wide, this wooden map shows every National Park in the U.S. It comes with corresponding cutout green trees that they can proudly place on the map once they’ve visited the park. Gifting experiences is also a way to make lifelong memories.
“My boyfriend and I received this map as a gift last Christmas to celebrate our quest to visit every National Park,” says Senior Shopping Editor Megan Mowery. “It’s been so fun and gratifying to mark each trip with a tree—plus, this map is high-quality and stylish, so we’re proud to display it in our home.”
For home theater buffs: Sonos Arc Soundbar
Movie night is about to get a major upgrade thanks to this sleek soundbar. They’ll be so excited to show off this cool tech gift that you’ll likely be invited over for plenty of movie nights. And when they’re not kicking back and watching their favorite flick, they can use it to stream their favorite music, podcasts and audiobooks.
For TikTok-obsessed couples: Countertop Nugget Ice Maker
If there’s one viral product that truly lives up to the hype, it’s this smart nugget ice maker. It makes over a pound of perfect nugget ice per hour and holds up to three pounds at a time. That’s enough ice to fill the five water bottles my family uses on a daily basis. And my children love the tiny little nuggets so much that they’ll fill a small bowl and munch on it when they’re bored. It sure beats potato chips!
For cohabiting couples: Cozy Earth Bamboo Bed Sheets
Couples living under one roof will love Cozy Earth’s famed sheet set. It offers nearly everything they need for a hotel bed-quality sleep. These buttery-soft cotton sheets feel like an actual dream. They come in a variety of solid colors and pair perfectly with the brand’s best pillows in case you want to give an even bigger (and cozier) gift.
For couples who suffer from allergies: Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde
Allergies are no joke. Whether your favorite couple suffers from them seasonally or year-round as I do, then this large space air purifier will be a welcome gift. It cleans the air continuously, ridding it of allergens and 99.97% of fine particles.
Unlike other air purifiers, this one also rids the air of formaldehyde, which can come from things like air fresheners, household cleaners and even furniture. It also features an upgraded filtration system, so they won’t have to worry about replacing filters for two to five years as opposed to every few months.
For foodies: The Chef & The Dish Private Cooking Class
Did you know that cooking together can actually strengthen a relationship? With a private cooking class, couples can travel around the world and learn to create an authentic dish from a country of their choice from the comfort of their very own kitchen (it’s like a wellness retreat right from home). They’ll have a live video call with a chef who will teach them how to make three delicious dishes.
During the pandemic, I watched the sun come up in Thailand as Chef Joy taught me how to make Pad Thai and Massaman Curry—dishes I still enjoy making almost three years later! You also have the option to gift a three, six or 12-month subscription with the company’s new Class Pass.
For non-morning couples: Hatch Restore 2
Non-morning people will appreciate this minimalist alarm clock, which wakes them up with a gentle sunrise and soothing sounds like forest birds or singing bowls. No more blaring sirens or offensive buzzing that immediately pushes them to the wrong side of the bed. “I feel less tired and less stressed in the morning and evening, which are key to helping me achieve my goals of going to the gym and having some ‘me’ time before work,” writes Shopping Editor Madi Koetting in her Hatch Restore 2 review.
For home chefs: La Tourangelle Infused Trio of Oils
