Buying Christmas gifts for couples is always a tricky conundrum. Where do you find something they will both like equally? Should it be thoughtful? Or useful? The same questions apply when you're buying Christmas gifts for mums and Christmas gifts for dads. With so many options, it's hard to know where to start looking.
When it comes to choosing Christmas gifts for couples, there are some things to consider; try to find something that is personal and means something to them as a couple specifically, be sure to consider their lifestyle, their personalities, or any hobbies they might share together. Maybe they're big foodies and love nothing more than cooking a slap-up meal. They could be super spontaneous or maybe they are home-bods who love opening skincare treats from their beauty advent calendars. You want to make sure that your gift is something they would choose for themselves (and not just something you wish you'd put on your Christmas list!)
As Carol Wilson of homeware brand You Comfort explains: "Balancing thoughtfulness and practicality is always a good idea when buying a Christmas present for couples. A gift with sentimental value, perhaps something that commemorates a special moment or memory they shared, is always cherished. However, practical gifts are equally appreciated, especially those that can be used in their daily lives or home."
Whether they've just moved in together, recently got married, become parents, or you just want to treat that special couple in your life, read on for our expertly curated roundup of the best Christmas gifts for couples in 2024.
