Best Anniversary Gifts for Couples
Best Christmas gifts for couples:
We get the feeling — the frustration of shopping for the couple who has everything. Luckily with MasterClass, its expert- and celebrity-taught online learning platform is fit for any person with any interest. If you’re interested in learning about exclusive cooking tips from Gordon Ramsay or how to build your brand from Kris Jenner, $15 a month is well-worth it. (Hint hint: read our MasterClass review for more).
Not to mention, it’s one of the best online class platforms we recommend year-round.
Best gift ideas for couples:
As its name suggests, Cozy Earth has a wealth of cozy home essentials at bay — one of our favorites being its Waffle Bath Towels. Toss in a touch of luxury to your gift (thanks to the plush softness of its terry material) and they’ll come to enjoy them (and brag about them to everyone) with just one touch of its spa-like feel.
Best gifts for couples who have everything:
After reviewing Brightland’s all-over-Instagram olive oil, we were colored impressed. Not only does it have the “it factor” for foodies, but its best-selling Awake and Alive blends pair well with any dinner recipe or breakfast creation. Not to mention, it comes in super cute packaging that doubles as counter decor.
Most useful gifts for couples:
Give the couple you know a gift they wouldn’t normally pick up themselves: the Verve Culture Artisan Citrus Juicer. Its handsome look makes a great showpiece on your kitchen or bar counter and it’ll come in handy when whipping up fresh cocktails or homemade, fresh-squeeze lemonade.
For more options, check out our guide to the best citrus juicers and kitchen gifts.
Popular gifts for couples:
Thi𒊎s exciting book features scratch-off adventure prompts that both surprise and delight. Categorized by price range, time they will take, and when the best time to do them is, The 𝓡Adventure Challenge book leaves no excuse for any couple to get a little intrepid.

On the topic of food, the Personalized Compact Swivel Cheese Board from Uncommon Goods holds a premier spot on our wishlists. It’s customizable with the initial of your choice, has space-saving inserts to store the included cheese knives and is just divine for entertaining. Plus, it swivels to save room in your cabinet.

Best experience gifts for couples:
Indulge them in the ultim♏ate treat with the Levain Bakery Cookie 12-pack — a delectable assortment of coloss🎶al, gooey-centered cookies that promise to satisfy sweet cravings and create moments of shared delight.
When brisk, enjoyable weather rolls around, fishing is a cute date idea. Gift the couple you know the Zebco 33 Spincast Reel & 2-Piece Fishing Rod Combo. It’s just shy of $50 and gives the perfect pair a fun activity to add to their calendars.
For a fun add-on, pick up a ($25.99 $13.38) — and perhaps fill it with some of their favorite candy — to really present them with a thoughtful touch.
Best gifts for married couples:
For a unique take on Connect 4, the Personalized Hearts Four-Across Game is great to gift to any couple you know (or, to snag for you and your boo to play). We love how it integrates hearts instead of circles (for a loving touch) and how it’s the perfect rainy day activity.
If there’s a couple you know that’s (1) into music and (2) a lover of all things vintage, the Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player is an Amazon best-seller and worth your coin. Choose from any color you can imagine and pick up some albums you think they’d enjoy on vinyl. For less than $75, a record player🎃 (and a thoughtful 🎐album or two) makes a lovely presentation.
Artifact Uprising’s Modern Wall Calendar is a personal favorite — and for a good reason. Its minimal, mod design fits perfectly in any room of choice and you can even keep the photos you display on each monthly page when it’s time to turn to the next. Oh, and it’s a great staple to any home office or bedroom.
Best Engagement Gifts for Couples

For foodie couples, this Himalayan Salt Block is a hit. Whether they love savory or sweet, this stone does it all. It comes with a recipe booklet to pepper them with flavorful ideas for cooking up something special. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a dinner invitation.
Best for couples who jet set:
Perhaps the engaged couple you know is planning a celebratory trip (or, is simply heads-down focused on their upcoming honeymoon). If you want to kick an engagement gift out of the park, you’ll buy two of the Mr. & Mrs. Luggage Tags. They’re available in different colors and is one of the most thoughtful ideas we’ve seen online.
Not to mention, it goes perfectly with any checked luggage or carry-on bag.
Best custom gift for couples:
Personlize their drinking experience in the park or by the fireside with bar-quality drinkware that feels cozy and fits nicely into their hand. Both tumblers are crafted from premium electropolished stainless steel so that it﷽ never absorbs the flavor of the previous drink whether that be bourbon or coffee (or both). Both tumblers come packed inside a transportable wool case.

Couples that drink together stay together, or at least we think so. This sommelier-grade stainless steel Parkside Flask makes fir🌊eside chats or picnics in the park romantic and fun. It comes with two premium 10.5-ounce tumblers designed to mimic the feel of your favorite stemless wine glasses at home. The tumblers magnetically attach to the flask for easy, stylish portability.

Inside, it contains everything from advice on how to pick out linens to what to include on your wedding registry.

Plus, picnics are great to enjoy a scrumptious meal and talk all things wedding planning.
For more options, check out our guide to the best picnic baskets and essentials.
Best engagement gifts for couples:
Though picture frames are a great piece of home decor to display memories, there’s nothing quite like the Engagement Couple’s Photo & Name Photo Block from Zazzle. It’s well-priced at just under $35 and will be treasured by the couple you know for years to come.
Best gifts for married couples:
Let’s talk about cake, baby. When newly engaged, many celebrations ensue — including eating lots of cake. So, why not pick up the Presidential White House recipe that JFK had at his wedding? Available at Goldbelly (which has been whipping up the secret concoction for years), it tastes as good as it looks (and makes for great conversation).
Best first place housewarming gifts for a new couple:
This edit would be incomplete without a 💃mention of Mr. & Mrs. champagne flutes to kick the engagement season into full gear. This elegant duo from Kate Spade New York is hard to resist — and is just $20.

As mentioned, celebrations plus engagemeꦦnt excitement equals much eating like royalty. The Belgian Chocolate Celebration Gift is perfect for the couple you know who has a sweet tooth and it comes with a well-varied display of chocolate covered pretzels and treats.
Best Luxury Gifts for Couples
Luggage makes for a practical gift any couple would appreciate — especially if it’s a complete set. The Tommy Hilfiger Logan Softside Luggage Collection stood out to us for a number of reasons, one being its buildable nature; you can buy one piece or as many as you (or the couple you’re gifting to) needs. Not to mention, it looks like it would be upwards of $1,000 but is no more than $400 if you purchase all four pieces.
When stepping out of your shower or bubble bath, there’s nothing better than tending to your skincare routine and wrapping yourself up in a nice and cozy robe. From Macy’s pick up the Linum Home Bath Robe. It’s made of 100% Turkish Cotton to make you feel like royalty and you can personalize the initial of choice. For less than $100 each, it’ll be cherished for years.
Best gifts for sleepers:
After reviewing Brooklinen’s Luxe Core Sheet Set, there was no going back. It’s one of our most acclaimed recommendations, much ado to its soft, hotel-like comfort and versatility. It’s breathable (which is great for hot sleepers, especially) and comes in fun colors and prints to suit your bedroom’s aesthetic.
For more, check out the best duvet covers and pillows we rounded up.
Best gifts for grillers:
The Ninja Woodfire 7-in-1 Outdoor Grill is one of the best splurges we reviewed (seriously, it changed the game with our alfresജco dinner parties). There are so many recipes you can cook on this all-in-one cookware piece — and we surely recommend it.
Best gifts for poker players:
Extra unique, the Ecotouge Casino Poker Table is truly how to get the party started. Whether it’s to whip out in your apartment when entertaining or to keep fully assembled at all times in the basement, there’s nothing like setting the vibes just like you’d find at Atlantic City (well, close to it).
To complete the gift, pick up a ($40) for endless amounts of game night༒s with loved ones.
Best gifts for music lovers:
Some couples you know are really into tech (think: always on the prowl for the latest and greatest electronic device). To level up their TV-watching experience, pick up a soundbar.
Specifically, Sony’s model delivers deeper and richer bass sound to provide that cinema-like experience at home. Plus, it’s wall-mountable design fits flush on your back wall, so it won’t be an eyesore.
Best Housewarming Gifts for Couples

Aside from long-distance phone calls with your S.O., a best-selling assortment from Georgetown Cupcake sounds like a plan. This 12-pack is great to send something sweet to the one you’re hoping to (soon) meet after the throes of long distance, and we’re just about to write Goldbelly a sincere thank-you note for hosting this fabulous dessert box on its site.
Best gifts for young couples:
When we hear the words housewarming gift, we think of welcome mats. Take the average, drab one up a notch with the Elegant Monogram Personalized Doormat for just $20. Practical and personalized — what’s better than that?
Best gifts for trendsetters:
We’re firm believers that everyone should have a Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 at their disposal (when do we not include a pun)? For less than $75 right now, it comes in a multitude of colors, allows all your family memories to be taken vintage-style and pairs well with a ($20) to keep all your selfies and artsy pictures organized and at arm’s reach.

What better way to celebrate the advent of a new home than with personalized coasters to place atop their coffee table? For the price, they’re elegant, practical and a bundle they’ll appreciate.
Best gift for bakers:
There are many serotonin boosts in the world, but one of them is definitely freshly made bread. We have been using our Dash Everyday Stainless Steel Bread Maker and can’t stop — its recipe guide takes the guesswork out of starting your sourdough journey and it’s great to have on deck for all sorts of entertaining.

Give them a set of two bath towels, two hand towels and two wash clothes. It’s the practical things that couples really want, especially if they want to host guests.

Best gifts for newlyweds:
We have yet to meet a cuter cutting board than the Uncommon Goods Personalized Cutting Board.

Best gifts for cocktail lovers:
If they love crafting cocktails, this ice cr✅usher is a must-have and a charming addition for newlyweds making a home.
Best gifts for candle lovers:
Lulu Candles continues to be an Amazon brand we constantly recommend.

Not to mention, the brand has to browse.
Bets gifts for clean-freak lovers:
After reviewing five Dyson vacuums, we deem the brand’s V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum as our tried-and-true favorite. Its easy-to-maneuver style and impressive power and speed make it great for small and large spaces and soft and hard floors alike.

Best gifts for cookie monsters:
Fill up their pantry with some stocked sweets from Bake Me A Wish. We love the taste of its Cookie & Brownie Snack Box and can’t believe this well-packaged bundle is just shy of $35. When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a cookie delivery.

Us browsing at Williams Sonoma is like a kid shopping at a toy store — our wishlist keeps expanding. The Pillivuyt Plisse Serving Bowl is the $100 gift that’ll keep the couple you know movin’ and groovin’ when entertaining. Not to mention, its sleek white exterior matches with everything and is of high quality.
Best Gifts for Long-Distance Couples
Best gifts for long-distance couples:
We reviewed the Lovebox Spinning Heart Messenger and though you can buy one for $130, we recommend ꦐsnagging two so you and your partner can send and receive messages. It connects to its paired app (where you can curate messages and GIFs, and even send photos from your album) and spins when you receive a message.
Best gifts for sentimental types:
There’s nothing more endearing than to look at a custom artwork that’s (1) sentimental and (2) reminds you of your long-distance partner. For less than $40, you can choose the states of your choice from Uncommon Goods and cherish it for years to come (well, until you’re no longer long distance).
Best gifts for creative couples:
If you love sending your part🍌ner love notes (whether in the mail, over text or through email), the Message Pill Co. Long Distance Message in a Bottle is something your partner will adore whenever they open one of your thoughtful messages. If their love language is words of affirmation, this is the golden gift.

The quintessential long-distance relationship gift is, without a doubt, flowers. Pick up the Floral Embrace for your partner (especially if sunflowers are their favorite) and every time they’ll see the fresh blooms, they’ll think of you.
For more options, check out the best flower delivery services.
Bets gifts for couples who write:
For a little thinking-of-you gift, we wholeheartedly recommend the Letters to Open When…. Book. It has cute prompts that allow you to write a page (or more) of sweet notes for your S.O. Not only that, but it’s even packaged l🃏ike a long-distance gift (and for that, it gets our stamp of ap♛proval — pun totally intended).
Best gifts for 2.0 scrapbookers:
Share your memories from state to state or overseas with Artifact Uprising’s Softcover Mini Photo Book. For less than $20, it’s a great way to display your memories and ensures your precious poses won’t get lost, as is the case with some traditional photo albums.

Also when we think of long distance: we think of lots of video calls. Elevate your time on the screen with the Facebook Portal Mini Smart Video Calling 8″ Display.

We scream, you scream, we all scream for — ice cream! For a fabulous addition to the kitchen your kids (and partner) will love, the Cuisinart ICE 1.5-Qt. Ice Cream Maker is one of the best less-than-$75 spends you’ll make. Plus, it also makes frozen yoghurt if so desired.
