3 Creative Christmas Gifts for Couples

3 Creative Christmas Gifts for Couples November 14, 2013

Last week I wrote a post called 3 Christmas Gifts Your Husband Actually Wants and it was really popular, because I guess most men are just as hard to shop for as I am! As a follow up, I’ve decided not to write an article about what women want for Christmas, because I’m a dude, which makes me completely unqualified to claim any kind of expertise about that, but I’ll see if I can talk my amazing wife into writing it.

In the meantime, I’m tackling the complexities of what to buy a married couple for Christmas. These gifts can be for you and your spouse or they can also be thoughtful gifts for siblings, parents, in-laws, or any other couple on your holiday shopping list. I hope these suggestions spark some creativity and take a load of stress of your shoulders this year as you struggle to find those perfect gifts.

Santa and Mrs. Claus have officially endorsed the matching “I heart my hot hubby” and “I heart my hot wife” tee shirts and hoodies as the most creative couples’ gift of the season. You can find them here!

Here are a few more creative suggestions to help you “think outside the (gift) box!”

1. Couple’s Massage.

Ashley and I had a couple’s massage given to us as a gift and I was a little apprehensive about it at first, but it has since become one of my all-time favorite gifts. It was SO relaxing and sharing the experience together was romantic. Even as I’m typing this, I’m thinking back to it and hoping somebody buys us another one this Christmas!

2. Personalized pictures or portraits.

Around the holidays, there are all kinds of artists trying to make some extra cash. One year, Ashley and I had an artist friend paint a portrait of my parents copied from one of their wedding photos and they were blown away. It’s still hanging in a prominent place in their house. That’s the kind of gift that will last for generations.

3. A customized date night.

Whether you’re getting a gift for you and your spouse or another couple, everybody loves a good date night! Go beyond just getting them a gift card, but plan out the whole experience based on their interests. It may include concert tickets and dinner at their favorite spot or something they’ve never experienced like a hot air balloon ride.
