Perfect Gifts for Couples to Celebrate Their Love Story
We love love, who doesn’t? There are so many types of love out there and romance is just one very big cog on the ever-spinning wheel. You get invested in fictional stories of romance all the time whether it be on the big screen, through your favorite show on a streaming service, or on the pages of a book.
But when it comes to real life love, there’s just something that is different, especially when you know the two who are together and you love them both as individuals and as a couple.
If you know your friend’s anniversary is coming up and you want to find something to give them, you’ve come to the right place as we’re going to lay out a list of the perfect gifts for couples. Easy to get, super cute, and sentimental- this guide is all about a celebration of love, so let’s take a look at what we’ve found.
Cutesy Date Night Gifts Perfect for all Couples 👨❤️👨
We can't start this gift guide out without some ideas that are just down right too cute for words now can we?
A Date Night Box
Never run out of ideas for new and exciting date nights again! Image courtesy of: date night in boxes.
You may have seen DIY “Date Night” jars online before, people on Etsy making slips of paper or cardboard hearts of date night ideas for couples everywhere but what if we told you there’s a professional company out there that makes specialized boxes for date nights?
Well you wouldn't be surprised to hear that their name is so aptly: Date Night in Boxes.
A subscription service that delivers custom date boxes to the couple who wants to broaden their day-to-day routines and shake up their normal date night. If a subscription is too much they have their One Time Shop which sells their boxes individually as a one time purchase. Here we have their Date Night In: A Year of Dates for $32.99. This box contains 52 sealed envelopes which each have a surprise date idea on it. Open them weekly and see what you’re getting into for a fun venture ahead.
A Mystery Picnic

Just like Tripadvisor is a place where you can buy tours and activities to expand your travel plans. Giftory is a company that offers premiere packages for birthdays, holidays, events, and couples all throughout the year. This is their Mystery Picnic Date for Two that’s Nationwide which is $150 and comes in at an impressive 4.6/5 stars on Trustpilot.
But this isn’t just any date, this is a scavenger hunt in the city they live in which will lead them to different places for food and drinks by solving carefully crafted clues. Once the adventure is complete and the entire puzzle has been solved they will get to enjoy their meal in a beautiful secluded spot where they can enjoy each other's company.
Order a Paint Date

There’s been a lot of viral clips of couples painting as a date night idea and the company Painting to Gogh makes these Couples Painting Kits you can buy and follow along with so you’ll both come out with something you’re proud of. There are lots of kits to choose from but we thought their You & Me Painting Kit for $99.98 is the one to go for.
This kit gives the couple: “Aluminum Easel (2), Set of 5 Brushes (2), 16x20 Canvas (2), Acrylic Paints, Disposable Palette & Apron (2), and Video Tutorial Access.” There are other less-expensive options with varying tools included as well. They have a Date Night Essentials Kit for $79.98, a Date Night Refill Kit for $49.98, and a Video Only for $14.99.
Gifts that Scream LOVE and Awww 👩❤️👩
Here are some options you can give to them that highlights them as a couple.
A Custom Portrait
An easy-to-get gift that’s just too adorable for words. Image courtesy of: Etsy.
There are so many talented artists out there that have provided many couples out there with custom portraits of themselves drawn in a selection of styles. It’s a great and unique way to keep your partner in your thoughts and have a picture in your home. Here we have the Custom Hand-drawn Couple Portrait, Chibi Cartoon Anime Caricature from Etsy user InkAndLovers for $13.38+ (normally priced at $17.85+).
It’s an easy process, get a photo of the couple, if they have any pets or kids you can choose to add them as "characters" too, choose between the headshot (chest up) or half/full body with pose options, select the number of characters, place your order, and then message the seller with reference photos. A hand-drawn (non-AI) portrait will be created and sent to you so you can give it to the couple just in time for their anniversary.
The Star Map
Capture the stars on that special day of their lives. Image courtesy of: The Night Sky.
This gift is an old favorite of ours and we couldn’t help but add it to this list again because it really is just that good. When a couple gets together there have now been significant dates that will forever change their lives. It can be the day they first met, their first date, the day they became official, their engagement, or wedding. During each of those days the stars have been up in the sky watching them, so how about getting them a custom frame of the stars from that particular day?
The Night Sky can create a high-quality print of a “map of stars” that were up in the sky at the location of a specific day you choose. Pick from any of their momentous occasions and choose to make The Night Sky Classic Star Map Print from $39.00 for that. It comes in eight different colors, and has four different printing styles: Classic, Foil, Glow In The Dark, and Canvas.
Custom Sweaters
Matching sweaters are IN. Image courtesy of: Etsy.
Is it cheesy? Maybe. Is it actually low-key, kinda cute and well worth the purchase? Absolutely. We wanted to find the classier version of matching Christmas pajamas and we found the perfect item for cooler weather: Custom Embroidered Heart and Puzzle Piece Sweatshirt from CustomTrendyGoods at Etsy for $21.63+ (normally priced at $30.90+).
You pick from a heart or puzzle piece, what initials to put on the sleeve where the heart will be added unless you specify not to, the thread colors, and if it should be on the left or write arm sleeve. Sizes go from S to 3XL and there 15 colors to choose from.
Practical Gifts That are Actually Perfect 👩❤️👨
Listen, as much as we love getting “couple” themed gifts, we had to shout out these that are great for the home, practical even.
Silk Sheets
Great for a good night’s rest and good skin. Image courtesy of: SilkSilky.
We won’t lie, this gift is expensive. Silk always is. But it is so, so worth it, especially if you wanna do something BIG for the couple. We sleep a third of our lives, so shouldn’t we have the best? From SilkSilky we have the 19Momme 4Pcs Silk Set Fitted&Flat Sheets+2x Pillowcases on sale for $369.95 (normally priced at $439.80) which is made from 100% Grade A mulberry silk and has been proven to help with breakouts, blemishes, hair health, and sleep scores.
The set comes with one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two closure (zipper or no zip available) pillowcases. You can get this set in sixteen different colors and it is available in Twin, Full, Queen, King, and Cal. King.
- If you like this idea but it’s a bit too expensive, try looking at Quince’s 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase for $44.90 instead.
Cookware to Last
Solid cookware lasts long and we believe this is it. Image courtesy of: Crate & Barrel.
If they are moving in together and need to upgrade from their old kitchen tools, then they will love the tried and tested: All-Clad ® D3 Stainless Steel Kitchen Helper Saucepan and Fry Pan Set from Crate & Barrel set savings $189.95, open stock $279.95. All-Clad ® has been a go-to for many looking to buy one set and have for the rest of their lives. They have round the board great reviews from many chefs in the kitchen at home and are well worth the price. A great mini-set for their new adventure together.
Easy to Get Gifts That Aren’t “Too Much” 🎁
We’ve loved finding couples gifts for you so far, but if you want to take a step down and go for something a little more “low key” then you can always send them a digital gift card via PerfectGift directly to their phone or email as a “hey congrats on x” - a small simple way to give a gift to two of your favorite people.
🏠Airbnb: You probably know that Airbnb is an online tool used to find vacation home and condo rentals all over the world. With this gift card they can pick and choose their next romantic getaway at a beachfront property, a treehouse, a countryside villa, a tiny home, a castle, a mansion, and more.
🥩Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse: Ruth’s Chris is an upmarket steakhouse and seafood chain that specially prepares their food to the satisfaction of millions all over the country. Steaks are cooked with a patented broiling method developed by the founder and are served on 500 degree plates!
🍿AMC Theatres: And if you know they aren’t your “classy get dressed and go out to eat at a fancy restaurant” types but more of a “popcorn and movie” type than they will definitely love getting an AMC Theatres gift card they can use towards their next few dates at the movies.
🎯Target: As we get older, practical gifts become more of a want than a need- (though it is a need too), and who doesn't like getting free groceries and shopping done? With a Target gift card they can buy what they need, when they need it with no extra cost.
💸Visa: Instead of being limited to only one store, you can use this gift card at any store that accepts Visa- (which is pretty much any registrar).
We pride ourselves on our Visa gift card experience as you can add a photo to create a custom Visa gift card and get it to you fast. PerfectGift prints and ships our own Visa gift cards, so we can guarantee same day printing & shipping (if ordered by 4:00pm ET Monday through Saturday). Since we are all in-house, no one else can beat our turnaround time because a lot of other spaces use third-parties to get their stuff ready.
