The 58 Best Gifts for Those Impossible-to-Shop-for Couples

In theory, buying Christmas gifts for couples should be a simple pursuit. You know them, you like them, and you have every intention of gifting them something that proves both of those things. In actuality, there's double the amount of pressure to get it right.

To make things easier for you this year, we've gone ahead and rounded up a list of the best couples gift ideas out there for every personality pairing—even gifts for the couples that have everything—we aimed for a range here. Because naturally, want stuff you can get your cousin you maybe only talk to on holidays who just got married, your best friends who have been married for years, and your parents who say they don't want gifts (and they don't!) but you want to get them a little something special anyway.

With that kind of range of couples, shopping will come at a range of prices, too. You might spend a little more on a Christmas gift for your favorite married couple than you would for a little something you're buying your boss and their significant other.

Getting a great couple gift is all about thinking about them as a couple. Yes, we love them as individual people. But when you're getting one gift to share, you want to make sure it's something that they'll actually use together—not one with a clear recipient of the two in mind. Here, we have plenty of things that are great for making a shared space feel special or fun games they can play together.

From beautiful pieces of art to household essentials you maybe never thought to give as a gift, here are 58 gifts for couples to buy now.

Rustico

huckberry.com

$40.00

The couple that has everything has too much stuff, it's all in the description. Let them organize the little things (keys, credit cards, etc.) in this rustic catch-all. Made of top-grade cowhide, it'll keep the little things in order.

West Elm

westelm.com

$141.50

Bring a bit of the southwest to your favorite couples' dwelling. These vibrant pillows scream both radiance and casual, just what you want atop a couch, favorite chair, or next to the fireplace.

Cuisinart

crateandbarrel

$299.95

They probably love ice cream, they may even have a mixer to make their own. But it's highly unlikely they have a gelato maker, which by design turns out a dessert with superior texture. It's a cliche, but it's a sweet gift that keeps on giving.

Williams Sonoma

williams-sonoma.com

$219.95

No kitchen bar is complete without a classic citrus press. This one steals the show and will be a great upgrade for your cocktail-loving couple that's been squeezing too hard with something inferior for far too long. Like a great coffee maker or cutting board, it's something they'll want to keep out and visible in the kitchen.

Chef's Choice

williams-sonoma.com

$159.95

They're almost certainly sharpening their knives the old way. Get them a proper sharpener and let them feel like they're cooking out of America's Test Kitchen. It can handle all types of knives and sharpens to the point of being able to cut a single strand of hair out of thin air (or, thereabouts).

Oui the People

ouithepeople.com

$45.00

This serum is magic, combining nourishing, hydrating, and restorative elements. That happy couple can engage in a routine together, applying some of this every night and reaping the benefits shortly thereafter.

frontgate

frontgate.com

$18.96

The couple that has everything is usually lacking when it comes to things they only use so often. This punch bowl is pleasing enough that they'll want to host parties more often and be proud to put a large batch cocktail on the table for all. Better, it insulates well, meaning that signature punch will stay cold and refreshing.

West Elm

westelm.com

$220.00

There are far, far too many mediocre shoe racks out there. Either they're cheap and mass produced or poorly made from scratch at home. This one deserves a spotlight, with a modern design that you won't hide in the closet. Even if they have one already, this is certainly an upgrade.

Vibratex

pinkcherry.com

$69.95

This might seem like a curve ball but it's a great thing to throw at your best couple friends. Chances are, it's something they've always wanted but just never had the boldness to state outright. It's one of the best-selling vibrators of all time so let's just let it do its thing. Sure, it gives a great massage, but it also delivers a serious orgasm.

West Elm

westelm.com

$24.99

Even if the couple of couples doesn't cook much, a goo mortar and pestle set is so eye-catching that it makes for a great kitchen shelf topper. That's even more the case when it's made of marble, like this one. And if they do like to cook, all the better, as they can grind up herbs and spices to perfection with this little tandem.

SERENA & LILY

serenaandlily.com

$348.00

There's no such thing as midcentury modern flair, especially when it leans towards tiki. This beautiful wicker magazine holder is an understated design marvel, with sturdy handles and a see-through build that allows you to check out the periodicals you might want to read before even grabbing them. Genius.

Ciekope

amazon.com

$39.99

The lasting couple has to know a thing or two about romance. This little fire pit will help keep the flame alive, a great indoor or outdoor fixture that can provide a little warmth, ambience, or even roast some marshmallows.

wayfair.com

$379.99

The couple who has everything probably also has a taste for the finer things. That's where this wool rug comes into play, a unique piece created by none other than Kelly Clarkson. It's a talking point without taking over the room, like any good living room addition.

U Brands

officedepot.com

$18.99

This calendar has a lot going for it, just like the couple that will soon receive it. Combining dry erase ink with magnetic hookups and a cork border, it's one you'll want to have out on display. Better, it'll keep the duo as organized as ever.

Environet

amazon.com

$22.99

There's a simple joy to growing your own herbs, and it's even easier than stealing them from your gardener neighbor. This kit will set your favorite couple up with fresh basil, mint, parsley, cilantro, and time, the essentials in any kitchen. Regular herbs are fine, fresh herbs are next level.

Jonas Loose

society6.com

$23.80

If they have this gift then we give up. But they don't, because it's a bath mat with a flamingo wearing sneakers on it. Translation: It's fantastic, unusual, and perfect for the couple that seemingly has it all.

Pottery Barn

potterybarn.com

$149.00

The antique tray has so many uses, especially for the couple that likes to eat and be entertained together. They're great for tv dinners, delivering cocktails, or to present some charcuterie when pals are over.

Horizon

westelm.com

$38.00

There's glassware and there's the good stuff. This set fall in the latter category because they're worth it. The modern design, elegant stems, and thin build will allow them to appreciate wine all the more (and maybe even host more often).

Frank Moth

society6.com

$14.40

Sure, they have all kinds of knick knacks involving couples and love but nothing really "out there" like this print. It shows a couple taking in a nice view of planet earth from way out in space, a pretty crafty perspective.

For the couple who takes pride in their wine collection, a beautiful wine rack is a thoughtful gift to help them keep the bottles organized.

Vitamix

amazon.com

$479.95

Okay, yes, there are things more romantic than a blender. But when that thing is an expert Vitamix blender that they've put off buying themselves for years, we'd beg to differ. This is a very good gift for married couples who think they have everything they need.

uncommongoods.com

$65.00

For the intellectual couple, might we suggest a print of one of their favorite books? It's a little more fun than giving a book (although we love giving books) and it shows just how well you know their literary tastes.

BALMUDA

nordstrom.com

$299.00

Honestly, getting a beautiful toaster should be at the top of every couple's Christmas list, as far as we're concerned. The Balmuda toaster looks beautiful on a countertop and performs its toasting and steaming duties just as seamlessly.

TOM FORD
