Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year for me and millions of others. Both Christians and non-Christians look forward to it, as they expect to spend time with family and have fun together. One big part of Christmas is gifting.
Among your friends and loved ones are couples, and since some will be spending Christmas together, it makes sense to give thoughtful gifts—not just gifts, but ones that they can enjoy together and bond over.
I know I’m not the only person who has struggled to settle on the perfect gift for siblings or friends. Now that I consider myself quite a pro at it, I’m here to offer free help with your gift-giving mission this Christmas.
Here’s my list of gifts for couples this Christmas.
Christmas Carol Songbook
Maybe my other career as a singer and songwriter is what’s influencing my decision to make this number one on the list. Maybe not. However, we can both agree that a couple singing songs together is the cutest thing ever.
Give a couple a chance to duet at home by giving them a Carol Songbook that contains some Christmas favorites or some you know they love. This gift will even be better for a couple that loves to sing. And who knows? They may find their next favorite carol there.
Customized Blanket
In many parts of the world, if not everywhere, it’s cold during Christmas. Hence, blankets come in handy. But Christmas is supposed to be an exciting time of the year, so what if you can make the blanket they’ll cuddle under equally exciting? Yes, you can.
A customized blanket may contain the couple’s names or contain designs related to something they like. For example, if the couple loves food so much, their blanket may contain food designs. You may also include touches of green and red on the blanket to make it more Christmassy!
Romantic Getaway
While Christmas is best enjoyed with your partner, no one said it must be at home. Taking the day off to spend it elsewhere may just be all the spark this Christmas needs to be magic for the couple you want to gift.
Pick a place you know would be great for them and sponsor a getaway experience. You may not even need to overspend for them to be happy. If you don’t want to risk choosing the wrong place for them, you can also let them choose where they want to go.
Video Games
Since video games offer multiplayer options, they give couples an opportunity to have some fun on-the-screen competition. Some options you have for this gift could be new editions of games they love or new games they’ve never played, but you want to introduce them to.
It Takes Two, and Mario Party Superstars are some popular options to consider, but if you go to a game store, online or physically, you’ll definitely find one for the couple you’re gifting!
Couples Massage Set
Romance can be had in countless ways, but one that will always remain my favorite is massage. Who cares if any of them is a professional masseur or masseuse? It’s all about the fun and the bone.
With a massage set, couples can take turns massage and pampering each other. Instructional materials are also available to make the session more relaxing and the massage more effective.
Date Night Boxes
A date night box comes with scratch-off cards containing date ideas for couples to try. With one, a couple won’t run out of activities to do as they spend the Christmas season together.
It’ll also help them settle on activities to do as the cards decide, so one won’t feel like they had to compromise for fun more than the other. You can also give them multiple boxes so they can keep enjoying fun and interactive activities and challenges after the festive period.
Personalized Puzzle
Can you imagine how wide a couple’s smile will be when, after hours of arranging the puzzle you gifted them, they realize it’s not just another image but something that means a lot to them? They’ll see you as someone who is thoughtful, too.
Some things to make a puzzle with is a picture of their home or their dream vacation city. One I’d love to try is an image of one of them caught during an embarrassing moment.
Matching Robe Set
We will all agree that robes are quite cool to wear at home. If your friends love to use them or have mentioned their intention to try them someday, you can gift them a set of matching ones this Christmas.
Matching robes feel so romantic when worn together. Your friends will have you to thank for the romantic vibe they feel whenever they wear them at home, even after Christmas.
Photo Album
I believe you have pictures of your friends. If you don’t, now is the time to go through their social media pages and find some of their favorite pictures of themselves. Print these pictures and use them to build an album.
The couple will surely enjoy watching pictures of themselves from different years in different places. It will show them they have a journey to be thankful for and make their Christmas a little more reflective.
Personalized Wine Glasses or Mugs
Many couples drink wine or coffee together, and of course, they have glasses and mugs for it. How can you make this routine more special for them this Christmas? By giving them personalized mugs or glasses.
These items can have their pictures printed on them, have their names written there, or may show off something they love to say to each other. For me, I’ll go all out to dig out their marriage vows—if they are married—and have it printed on the mugs.
There you have my list. If you love it, please share. If you have a better gift idea, please let me know in the comment, and maybe I’ll buy that for my loved-up friends instead.
