5 Wonderful Shared Christmas Gifts for Couples 

5 Wonderful Shared Christmas Gifts for Couples 

Christmas is here and expectations to find the perfect gift for your partner are high – especially when you’ve been together for quite some time (looking at you, ‘we don’t gift each other things this year’), or when the presents for the kids are simply stealing the show. But what about mixing it up with gifts you can enjoy together? 

Shared gifts add a thoughtful touch to the festive season – and can be a great excuse to go on a date!

Below are five inspired ideas for shared Christmas gifts that will bring the two of you even closer this year.

1. Experiences Over Things: The Gift of Togetherness

In a world filled with ‘stuff’, gifting an experience over a material possession can feel refreshingly personal (not only for you but for the kids, too!). Shared experiences provide us with the chance to create lasting memories and they deepen our emotional bond, which is far more meaningful than any wrapped present.

A 2022 poll of 2,000 adults found that 51% preferred experiences instead of a physical Christmas present – meaning, that there is also an abundance to choose from. So, look at experience-based gifts tailored to your shared interests—a cooking class, wine-tasting, or even dance lessons which make for unexpected but brilliant ways to spend quality time together. These sorts of gifts will outlast anything shiny under the tree and might even inspire a new shared passion – who knows!

 

2. Holiday Adventures: A Romantic (or Family) Getaway

If you’re both itching for a change of scenery, a holiday together can be an ah-mazing gift. Escaping the everyday routine for a romantic getaway allows couples to recharge and rediscover each other in a new setting – and I know how precious and rare time together as two can become when kids are involved. Explore different destinations at home or abroad and look at hiking, dining or soaking up the vistas when it comes to romantic breaks.

Planning your holidays with care can make the experience even more special. Budget, interests and preferred level of adventure are all important factors to keep in mind. Of course, you don’t have to go just as a couple. Pretty sure that a family adventure makes a brilliant Christmas gift for all of you too! 

 

3. Personalised Keepsakes: A Touch of Romance 

There’s something beautifully romantic about a gift that speaks directly to the uniqueness of your relationship. Custom jewellery, engraved keepsakes and personalised household items (this sounds lovelier the older you get, doesn’t it?) hold sentimental value that grows over time, becoming cherished mementos of shared love. 

You can push the boat out all the way and even make the gift yourself. Homemade Christmas present ideas like festive-themed cupcakes, yarn tree ornaments and custom photo books can make your gift feel extra thoughtful. Even the simple engraving of your initials can make them think of you every time they see it. We like baking up Christmas Tree biscuits every year and giving those to others too!

 

4. Tech Gadgets for the Modern Couple

If you’re a family that loves to stay up to date with technology, then consider a tech gadget that might enhance your shared experiences. Smart home devices like smart speakers or lighting systems add convenience and ambience. 

Gaming enthusiasts will love co-op console games for endless entertainment and shared bonding time.

For those who enjoy movie nights, a high-quality projector or a set of wireless headphones can elevate the at-home experience, making a perfect gift. 

 

5. Cosy Home Upgrades: Nurturing Your Love Nest

Making your home a cosy, inviting haven is one of the best-shared gifts a couple can give themselves. A few well-chosen home upgrades can create a space that’s perfect for unwinding together, whether that means snuggling up on a plush new sofa, adding luxurious bedding or investing in a stylish rug. We love silk faux flowers as above which you can decorate your home with and which last far longer than fresh flowers. 

Home is where love lives, so adding pieces that turn it into a sanctuary is a gift that keeps giving. In turn, this sets the tone for more relaxed and inviting evenings in. 

Everyone loves a thoughtful, tailored gift. Even the ones we’ve been with for decades! More so in fact!
