Finding the best gifts for couples is a balancing act—two people, two personalities, two separate sets of interests—you don’t want to inadvertently cater to one over the other. That said, buying gifts for couples can also be an opportunity to celebrate the special relationship that two people share.

Maybe your favorite set of uncles met at a dog park and now share the role of “dog parents” together. Or maybe your parents’ friendship turned romantic only after they both realized they have the same taste in off-beat music, and that’s an interest they continue to share. Buying a gift that reminds a couple how they met and what sparked their romance can help keep the fire burning (check out these sexy gifts for spicing things up).

On the other hand, gift-buying for couples can also bring an opportunity to help those in long-term relationships find new shared interests, or provide opportunities to “lighten the load.” Take the couple with a pair of toddlers and two full-time jobs—chances are they could use a date night, help with housekeeping, or fresh inspiration for weeknight dinners. Buying a gift that shows you see, appreciate, and want to help them ease their struggles is likely to make them forever grateful for your care.

Here, we’ve considered just about every possibility and have come up with ideas to make it easy to buy the perfect gift for the couples you love. From coffee subscriptions to painting projects to new cookware sets to family-sized hammocks, there’s something for basically every type of couple on this list.

For even more great gifting ideas, we’ve got gift guides for everyone on your list. Check out our top gift guides: 30 Best Gifts Under $50, 67 Best Wellness Gifts, 50 Best Family Gift Ideas.

5.8-Qt Air Fryer

When your favorite foodies decide to start lightening up their dinners, an air fryer is the gift that helps them crisp up their french fries, chicken, and even doughnuts without overdoing it with the added fat. This version from Proctor Silex features a 5.8-quart non-stick basket that’s ideal for cooking for two (or more) and offers a 60-minute timer and temperature control.

Double Dish Slow Cooker

Making meals at home is tough when both partners work long hours, and it’s even tougher when the two have different food preferences. Enter: The Proctor Silex Double Dish Slow Cooker. This 2023 Good Housekeeping Award Winner can be used as a single 6-quart slow cooker for a family-sized meal,or you can cook two separate dishes simultaneously by using the appliance’s 2.5-quart non-stick inserts.

Nonstick Ceramic Cookware Set

There’s nothing quite like a new set of cookware to inspire a refreshed sense of excitement when it comes to cooking. If the couple you’re buying for is known for their homemade gourmet dinners, consider upgrading their cookware to these non-toxic ceramic pots and pans from Caraway. They come in a variety of trendy and classic colors, so you can choose a set that’s more personalized for your friends.

Blender + Hydration System

If your favorite couple can’t wait to start their morning with a nutrient-packed smoothie, but they hide away their blender system as soon as they’re done making it, consider getting the Beast Blender and Hydration System. This personal blender system looks classy enough to leave on the counter, doesn’t take up much room, and is intended to be used for smoothies and infused drinks on-the-go. The system also comes with two separate blending vessels so your friends can make their own personalized blends. And of course, they can purchase additional vessels, too.

Seasonal Blend Subscription

Some couples jump out of bed, ready to face whatever the world might have to offer. Others trudge slowly and grudgingly to the kitchen, relying first on a strong cup of coffee to help them brace themselves for whatever might come. If your favorite couple is more the latter than the former, give them a coffee subscription from Equator Coffee to help liven up their mornings. The service sends its current seasonal blend out to subscribers based on the schedule you choose (from every week to every eight weeks).

Therapy In a Box Card Game

A couple doesn’t need to be actively fighting to benefit from a little talk therapy. If your favorite couple has voiced a desire to work on themselves, give them the Unpack That game to get the conversation started. The 125-card deck includes five different types of questions and reflections as well as lighthearted activities to help lighten the mood when things get heavy. It may not be an actual replacement for therapy, but it’s a place to start.

Hand Casting Kit for Couples

If walking into your favorite couple’s house is like walking into a museum memorializing their relationship (photos, sappy momentos, and souveniers from their favorite trips), they’re going to love you a little bit more when you gift them the Dylan & Rylie Hand Casting Kit. This plaster crafting kit lets your buddies forever memorialize a mold of their hands wrapped up in each other—a token of their love and commitment.

With 80 hours of burn time, the gift is guaranteed to keep on giving for quite some time.

Spring Cocktail Kit

Sharing a classic cocktail to unwind at the end of the day is a great way for couples to chat and connect. That said, pulling out all the ingredients and tools can sometimes be a bit much. Give your cocktail-drinking friends a fun shortcut with this cocktail kit. Simply drop a cube into a shot of liquor, wait for the cube to dissolve, stir it up, and enjoy a classic cocktail, like a Manhattan, Moscow Mule, or Old Fashioned.

Get Together Mini: Portable Speaker with Wireless Bluetooth

Make it easy for them to stay connected to each other and their tunes with a gift of the House of Marley Get Together Mini portable speaker. It has up to 10 hours of playback on a single charge and is safe to be used indoors and out.

Handheld Mini Body Massager

There’s not a person (or a couple) out there who doesn’t need to unwind and destress after a tough week, especially if that week involves multiple trips to the gym. Gifting a couples massage is a nice way to encourage a little shared relaxation, but a single massage could set you back more than $100, and it’s only good once. With this mini handheld sassager from Beurer, you can encourage your favorite couple to set aside time to offer massages to one another—an act of kindness and consideration that’s sure to deepen their relationship—for a fraction of the cost.

Plus, with 256 custom color variations, it can also help your favorite couple set the mood at any time of day.
