It’s always hard to gift something to your partner. What object can possibly show them how much you care, and just how much they mean to you?
That’s why couples gifts can be a great idea. Apart from the gift itself, it’s a perfect way to celebrate the very fact of your togetherness by gifting your perfect partner something you can do, use, or otherwise experience together.
1. Matching Necklaces: Gifts that Stay Close to the Heart
There’s no more romantic gift than jewelry – and a piece of matching jewelry just doubles the romantic factor ! And amongst jewelry, matching necklaces are the most romantic gifts to consider for one simple reason: necklaces are worn right next to the heart. Consider a set of necklace pendants, in which sweethearts can place a photograph of each other.
Another great option is a half heart necklace – with each partner having a chain with half a heart, which fit perfectly when brought together. What more symbolic and romantic way to celebrate a couple who perfectly make each other whole? If you and your partner are already engaged or married, consider a necklace that complements your rings, engraved with each other’s names or a date that is special to you.
2. His and Hers: Celebrate your Favorite Activities Together
Some of the best couple’s gifts are those that you can actually use with your partner regularly, celebrating a ritual that the two of you have, or an activity that you engage in together.
For example, if you love traveling together, consider a pair of matching passport holders that are in the same color that show they match, but with a unique design that celebrates each partner’s unique personality and preferences – perhaps a map or photograph of their favorite city. If you love gardening together, splurge on a set of matching gardening tools – so that you’ll never again have to complain that your partner left the gardening shears muddy.
Or just keep it simple with a gift that celebrates those small but special moments together, like a pair of ‘His and Hers’ coffee mugs. This is a simple yet thoughtful gift that they’ll use daily, and in a symbolic way celebrates the simple fact that you get to wake up next to your partner each morning, reminding them it’s the little things daily that make you fall in love with them all over again.
3. Matching Pajamas: When you’re Comfortable Just Lounging At Home
You know you’ve found the one when you can feel totally comfortable with them – when you don’t need to always get dressed up for a date out together, but can have a great time simply staying in, lounging in a pair of pajamas. That’s why a set of matching pajamas can be a cute and fun way to show how comfortable you are with each other ! You can go for a completely matching set, a fun theme that suits your personality as a couple, or even get extra cheeky with pajamas featuring the face of your partner.
For something a little more luxurious, opt for a pair of plush matching robes, monogrammed with your initials for an extra personal touch. Choose high-quality materials such as Egyptian cotton or velour for that hotel-luxury feel, so it feels like every day is a vacation. A cozy set of matching stay-in apparel is a great way to make your nights even more enjoyable, relaxing, and comfortable.
4. Decorate Together the House You’re Making A Home
What better way to celebrate the home you are building together than wall art that captures your best memories and reflects your unique bond? Some of the simplest ways to do this is to commission a custom portrait of the two of you together, or to get a professional photograph – perhaps from your engagement or wedding.
Make sure to go the extra mile with custom framing, perhaps with your names and a special date engraved on the frame. Alternatively, you could get really creative – for example personalized maps that you can mark off each country you’ve visited together. If you’re not big on traveling, consider a local map of your hometown that marks special memories – such as the place where you first met, where you had your first date, or the location of your first home.
