The 50 Best Gifts for Couples Who Have Everything

image

In theory, shopping for couples should be a simple pursuit. In actuality, there’s double the amount of pressure to get it right. Plus, the fact that there’s at least one pairing in every family of people who have extremely particular (read: bizarre) taste.

To make things easier for you this year, I’ve gone ahead and rounded up a list of the best couples gift ideas out there for every personality pairing—even gifts for the couples that have everything. Whether you’re shopping for the duo that’s the most fun to go out to dinner with, a pairing of fitness lovebirds who are seemingly always on a nature adventure, or a loved one and their new S/O who seem to completely do their own thing, ahead you’ll find gifts that work for every party on your list. And at every price point.

From quirky, funny finds to everyday practical objects you maybe never thought to give as a gift, here are 50 gifts for couples to buy now.

Roebury Blanket Sand Proof & Outdoor Picnic Blanket

This outdoor picnic blanket (big enough for 2!) can be used as a beach blanket as well, which means it’ll be a mainstay of future warm-weather trips to come. It includes a compact tote which will make transporting it a breeze, too.

BEST WFH GIFT

The Nue Co. Functional Fragrance

This woodsy unisex fragrance was designed to help people concentrate and recenter during stressful times. Here, a gift we could all use right now that any couple who’s working from home together is certain to appreciate. (Note that a home spray adaptation is also available at Nordstrom.) 

eufy by Anker,BoostIQ RoboVac 11S

amazon.com

$219.99

$149.99 (32% off)

All this extra time at home has made everyone super aware of how fast dust accumulates. If the couple on your list doesn’t already have a robot vacuum in the picture, this model from eufy makes for a failsafe gift. The #1 best-selling robot vacuum on Amazon is beloved for its ease of use (you can schedule cleans from your phone), impressive pick-up and self-charging capabilities. 

Up Yours Corona Candle Trio

For the couple you love dearly who you’re not going to be able to see in person this holiday, this trio from British candle line Little Karma Co. will help express what we’re all feeling. Making this gift all the more thoughtful is the fact that $1 is donated with each purchase to a UK charity focused on mental health.

MOMA Design Store Set of Six Geo Stacking Coasters

There’s no such thing as too many coasters. This set from the MoMa Design Store makes makes for a unique and practical gift for couples.

UGG Plush Oversized Throw Blanket

UGG blankets are the cat’s meow of coziness. This will be a staple for Netflix-binge nights to come. 

Casper Throw Blankets

For something a little more design-y, Casper (as in the famous mattress disrupter brand) unveiled a collection of throw blankets this winter that are made from 100% cotton. 5 different colorways are available and the minimalist-chic aesthetic works for any decor style. 

Anthropologie Acrylic Toolbox Magazine Holder

$128.00

For the couple that loves magazines, this modern acrylic box will be the sleekest way to display their all-time favorites. Just think of how good Men’s Health would look there, too. 

U-Taste Heat Resistant Silicone Spatula Set

If you’re shopping last-minute for the foodie couple on your list, this spatula set (available on Amazon Prime!) makes for an affordable and useful gift. Reviewers are obsessed with U-Taste spatulas too. To get a sense of how loved these are, peep their 10k ratings and counting.

Objecto W7 Ultrasonic Humidifier

Doubling as a work of art (in my opinion), this sleek humidifier makes for a calming and practical gift for anyone, including the couple you love that’s still working from home together. Per Verishop (which does free 2-day shipping, btw), the device delivers a steady mist of powerful and restoring aroma therapy. 

Respect des Fonds Adaptogens Ease Duo

Another thoughtful wellness gift idea? Adaptogens. In case they’re new, LA and NY-based Respect des Fonds is the line to intro them to as the brand is completely transparent about every single aspect of how their adaptogens are sourced, produced and packaged. The brand’s Ease Duo contains 2 blends (Calm and Sleep) and each be customized with your loved ones’ names. 

PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY COUPLE

Voluspa 12 Day Candle Gifting Advent Calendar

$118.00

Because there’s no such thing as being too old for an advent calendar–and there’s no such thing as too many luxe candles (these days especially), this is a perfect gift for literally any couple.

Custom Pet Portrait | Framed Dog Portrait

For the couple that loves dogs and tolerates people, commission a custom portrait of their dog. This vendor includes framing in their price, which in my opinion, is always the proper way to gift art. 

Mixtape Potluck Cookbook

There are cookbooks, and there’s Questlove’s Mixtape Potluck cookbook, which imagines a dream potluck with family recipe contributions from celebrities such as Q-Tip, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Tariq Trotter, Natalie Portman, and so many more. Fitting for the couple that loves trying new recipes and pop culture. 

The Brilliant Culinarian Set

Few food gifts are more universally failsafe than olive oil. For the couple that has everything, California-based, woman-founded brand Brightland’s Brilliant Culinarian set includes their new favorite olive oil and the 10th edition of award-winning British food magazine, The Gourmand.  

Welcome to The Office Puzzle

If they haven’t watched The Office together, are they really a couple? Here, a puzzle that’ll be fun to do together from start to end. That’s what she said.

BEST UNDER $20 FIND

Ceramic Coffee Mug Couples Sets

This ceramic mug set is cheesier than a quesadilla, but it’ll make them smile every time they go to use these all the same. 

EXPERIENTIAL GIFT

SoundLink Micro Outdoor Speaker (Portable and Waterproof)

Boasting over 22k ratings on Amazon with an average score of 4.8/5 stars (which is unheard of, by the way), Bose’s SoundLink Micro speaker is beloved for its superior sound and durability. If the couple on your list is into road trips or just spending time sitting outside together, they’ll love this. 

Resurrection Aromatique Hand Wash

For the luxe couple on your list, Australian brand Aēsop is the holy grail of fancy soap. Here, a practical gift that’s certain to impress any chic couple on your shopping list. PS: Verishop’s free 2-day shipping is super helpful if you’re shopping last-minute.

‘Dumbo’ Design Bookend

For the intellectual couple, might I suggest a bookend that will aid in the organization of their library? (Editor’s note: This is an abnormally good price for a sleek book end.) 

MOST USEFUL GIFT

Classic Core Sheet Set

Upgrade their bedding situation with a fresh new set of sheets (from what’s arguably the Internet’s favorite linens brand) for a gift that’ll keep on giving. This set includes a fitted sheet, top sheet, and 2 pillow cases that reviewers—over 10k and counting—are obsessed with. 

Spa Treatment Set for Targeted Areas of the Body

The couple on your list won’t be expecting a spa set, but they certainly won’t be upset about this thoughtful and useful trio. Featuring three of Footnanny’s best-sellers, the spa set includes products designed to relieve, exfoliate, and soothe targeted areas of the body. Notably, the brand was one of Oprah’s Favorite Things last year. 

Classic Backgammon

Display-worthy backgammon boards can cost a fortune, so you can be sure this Huckberry find will sell out fast this holiday season. A fun gift for competitive couples. 

Theragun Mini

If both parties are fitness fanatics, a Theragun percussive device is most likely already on both of their wishlists. The Kleenex/Uber of massagers, this device works to relieve soreness and decrease stress. The Mini device in particular makes for a thoughtful gift as they’ll be able to bring it on-the-go. 

Wine Soaps (Set of 4)

I don’t need to tell you how important it is to wash your hands. What I can tell you instead is that this set of vegan soaps is well-suited for the couple that’s most fun to go out with and the couple who’s favorite wine skews way out of your budget alike. 

Bibliothèque Scented Candle, 70g

Byredo products in general have a cult-following, but the French brand’s Bibliothèque is in a league of its own when it comes to beloved candles. Featuring notes of patchouli and warm vanilla, this candle evokes the coziness of spending a rainy day getting lost in a good book. 

Woven Geo Dishcloths, Set of 6

This top-rated set of dishcloths makes for a practical (and affordable) gift. The fun patterns will add a pop of warmth to their kitchen, too.

A sentimental gift for newlyweds especially, this journal (surprisingly from H&M) spans 5 years and has a few lines for each day where they can write down what they experienced, learned, cooked, etc. to look back on one day.  

Stainless Steel Coffee Mug Cup with Handle (2 Pack)

Increments begin at $20 and if you’re shopping last minute, you’re in luck because e-gift cards are also available. 

Hand-Painted Plant Potter

For the couple that’s growing a small greenhouse out of their city apartment, these hand-painted terra cotta planter pots from Nashville-based Etsy vendor Pepper Palm are a best-seller. Reviewers rave about how these arrive in perfect condition and quickly. 

Custom Face Pattern Aprons With Camouflage Background

This Etsy vendor allows you to get any face (or for 2 extra bucks, 2 faces) printed all over an apron. For the couple where at least one party has a good sense of humor, the possibilities here are endless. This is one of our favorite funny gifts for couple this year.

Daily Harvest Gift Box

9-Item Gift Box, dailyharvest.com, $75

BUY IT HERE

Not having to deal with meal-prep is a gift in itself. Daily Harvest’s 9-item gift box allows recipients to pick out 9 different Daily Harvest items, which are famously healthy and delivered frozen so they can be enjoyed whenever. Soups, salads, ice-cream, and of course acai bowls are all on the table.

Shopping for a cordless millennial couple? This best-selling portable mini project comes with 40,000 hours of LED lamp life and is compatible with TV Stick, PS4, HDMI, VGA, TF, AV, and USB. 

The Hygge Game

Containing 330 questions that are thought-provoking, and yet not mentally draining (i.e., “What’s the most annoying sound?”), this game works for Zoom calls with loved ones or dinner parties, when we eventually start to hold those again.

Table for Two, The Beverly Hills Hotel

There’s something about this photograph from artist Gray Malin’s latest series of dogs lounging around The Beverly Hills Hotel that melts me. Another work of art well-suited for the dog-loving couple on your list that’ll spark joy. 

Mini 9 Instant Camera and Film Twin Pack (20 Exposures) Bundle

There’s something uniquely special about tangible photos. Here’s a fun couples gift that will allow them to capture their love. They might not have the camera 10 years from now, but they’ll keep the photos forever, and that’s what counts. 

Peanut Butter Sampler

Peanut butter loving couples will go nuts (haha) over this sampler set containing 6 different sweet and salty editions. It’ll be a shared experience of savoring and critiquing each as well. 

New England Road Trip Guide

Chances are, if they’re traveling these days, it’s by way of road trip. Inspire their next adventure with this pocket-sized guide full of ideas and information on under-the-radar spots. 

Divine Dark Chocolate Advent Calendar

Being too old for an advent calendar is not a thing. To my left, a dark chocolate option (which is always the best option) containing 24 different pieces of chocolate. The yummiest gift for under $10 you’ll find out there.

Toothpaste with nHA and Bamboo Salt

Here’s an item the couple on your list that already has everything might not yet have: This new toothpaste created by former Glossier exec Youn Chang. OJOOK infuses Korean rituals with science and the results are a toothpaste that not only works, but feels like an experience. 

Editor’s note: I’ve been using this for the last month and love it. Aside from using clean ingredients, the packaging is innovative (think: a poster includes a QR code for a meditative playlist for brushing), which makes this a thoughtful wellness gift.

EDITOR’S WISH LIST

The Vices Votive Set

No such thing as too many nice candles. For $42, this set containing 3 of New York-based brand Malin + Goetz’s best-selling votives (all of which are in the warm and spicy  scent family) happens to be a steal

Editor’s note: I love all three of these, but Leather happens to be my personal favorite candle of all time. 

USB Smart Charger

It does get more romantic than a USB smart charger for 2, but as far as tech gifts go, this nifty charging device can be skewed as sentimental. 

CUSTOMIZABLE

Small Leather Valet Tray

Mark Cross
markcross.com

$190.00

This leather catch-all tray will be a chic home for their keys, wallets, MTA cards, etc. Customization options (including monograms and hand painted designs) are also available from Mark Cross’s website. 

Holiday Cuvée Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Hess Collection

For the wine loving couple on your list, the special holiday-themed bottle from family-run wine estate Hess Collection is certain to impress and delight. Hess Collection winemaker Dave Guffy crafts a limited release cuvée each holiday season meant for sharing with friends and family. (And because most of us won’t be traveling this holiday, this just means more wine for them!)

Ceder’s Classic Non-Alcoholic Spirit

Ceder’s

£19.95

If you want to send them a special spirit gift, but aren’t sure if both parties are drinking these days, opt for Ceder’s Classic Non-Alcoholic Gin. It’s suitable for vegetarians and vegans and has 1-2 calories per serving with zero sugar and comes together in a beautiful, elegant bottle.
