Here’s our Gifts for Couples Gift Guide:

---

1. Give any couple the gift of connection and excitement with The Adventure Challenge book.

This is the number one gift for any couple who is seeking authentic and fun connection in their every day life. Having personally gifted this to my boyfriend last Christmas, I can confidently recommend this as the perfect gift for any couple! In fact, he said it was the best gift he’s ever received. 😏

The Adventure Challenge Couple Edition includes 50 scratch-off adventures that will add spontaneity and zest to any relationship.

2. An Airbnb credit is so much more than a gift card…it’s adventure and memories. 

Okay, so we know gift cards are basically cash, but here us out. One thing we learned when asking couples about the best gifts they’ve ever received, is that their most treasured are the memories they make when traveling. Couples especially value experiences over things so one of the best gifts you could give them is an Airbnb gift card so they can get away and enjoy time together. Bonus points if they have kids and you can offer child care too! Lucky for you, you can easily get more bang for your buck by scored discounted gift cards at Raise.com.

3. A mini massage gun if a gift couples will love traveling with and using daily.

The size of this massage gun is much more approachable than a full-sized massage gun which is why we love it! It can be stored right in any couples nightstand for special moments and is something they’ll both enjoy. Plus, it comes with all the different attachments they’ll need for an enjoyable experience. As a bonus, it comes with a compact travel case so they can easily take it with them when they hit the road.

This personalized cutting board is a thoughtful gift for a couple that’s newly married or just bought their first home.

A custom painting of your couple’s first home could be the unexpected gift they’ll cherish forever.

My fiance and I recently received this gift idea from a family friend and couldn’t love it more! Plus, you can choose the size of the painting so it can be as big or small of a gesture as you wish.

Go all out with your custom home portrait and gift them a custom hand painted piece of artwork of their home.

14. This vacuum is one gift a couple likely wants but doesn’t want to spend their own money on.

Vacuums are one item most couples don’t want to have to buy for themselves, but would obviously love to have! We love this Shark vacuum because of it’s super compact size, powerful punch with a high-speed brushless motor, and it’s super versatile too. It’s ideal for countertops, cars, hard to reach corners, and more!

15. An experience they won’t forget could be their favorite gift of the season.

Some of the very best gifts are experiences money can’t buy so if our other mentioned experiences didn’t do it for you, consider a few more experience ideas! It’s already obvious many people are huge fans of experiences over gifts and it doesn’t necessarily have to cost money either! There are many things you could offer any couple like tickets to a free concert they may not know about or itinerary to a new hike they’d really enjoy.

You could also buy your experience and consider fun ideas like wine tasting, a hot air balloon ride, a gift card to their favorite restaurant, a couples massage, and more! Search your local area on Groupon for fun things to save on!
