25 Best Christmas Gifts for Couples to Enjoy Together

Christmas gifts for couples: a hand casting kit, two-player board games, a fondue set, an Aura photo frame and a record player. 25 picks to share this season.

Updated 25 gifts curated $5.99 – $229

Buying a Christmas gift for a couple is different from buying for one person. You need something both of them will enjoy, ideally together, and it should not end up as clutter in a guest room by February. That rules out a lot of matching mugs and "Mr. and Mrs." plaques.

We chose these 25 Christmas gifts for couples around shared time. There are keepsakes for a first Christmas together or a first home, two-player games that do not need anyone else at the table, holiday traditions like gingerbread and vinyl Christmas records, and date-night-at-home kits for fondue, pizza and homemade ice cream. For couples with a backyard, a smokeless fire pit and roasting sticks extend the season outdoors. Prices run from about $6 to $229, so there is something here for a friend, a sibling and their partner, or your parents.

Buyer's Guide

How to pick the best christmas gifts for couples

Buy for what they do together. Think about how the couple actually spends a free evening: playing games, cooking, watching movies or sitting outside. A gift that fits that habit gets used; a gift that asks them to start a new hobby often does not.

Match the milestone. First Christmas together, first home, newly engaged or recently married all call for a keepsake. Couples who have been together for years are usually better served by an experience or a treat than another ornament.

Check their space. A fire pit needs a yard, a CREAMi needs counter space, and a puzzle needs a table that can stay covered for a week. Apartment dwellers will appreciate something compact, like a card game or a photo album.

Pick something both will enjoy. Avoid a gift that is really for one partner with the other's name on the tag. Two-player games, food and photos are safe because they work for both.

Add a consumable. Cocoa, chocolate for the fondue pot or a bag of good coffee turns a single item into a ready-to-use gift they can enjoy on Christmas night.
