Gifts for Couples

Gifts for couples: one present, two people, no arguments

The rule for buying for a couple is simple: buy for the house, not for one of them. Anything that ends up belonging to only one half of a couple stops being a couple's gift the moment it's unwrapped.

That makes candles, coasters and prints the reliable choices, and it's why they turn up on every wedding, housewarming and anniversary list.

Everything's made in the UK, boxed, and ships with the card in one parcel.

Frequently asked questions

What's a good gift for a couple?

Something for the house that both of them use: a candle, coasters or a print. Gifts aimed at one half of a couple stop being couple's gifts the second they're opened.

What do you buy a couple who live together already?

Something consumable or decorative rather than practical — they'll already own the practical things. A candle or a print with a date on it works for weddings and anniversaries alike.

How much should a couple's gift cost?

£20–£40 for a housewarming or anniversary, and £30–£75 for a wedding where you're attending the day.
