6. Best Experience Gift for Couples: Escape Room: The Game

So if you’re thinking about giving an “experience” instead of the more traditional gift options, you can’t go wrong with a board game like this one.

7. Best Cooking Gift for Couples: Personalized Recipe Box
Couples who like to cook can be hard to find gifts for, because they often already have everything they need and love for all their favorite dishes.
That said, not everyone who loves to cook has a place to store all their favorite paper recipes. And you’ve got to admit, there’s something pretty nostalgic about a good old-fashioned recipe box – especially when it comes personalized like this one.
Choose between a bamboo box or a walnut wood box. Dividers are available.

Think: a romantic date night in the dining room, a movie in the living room, a family camp out indoors during the long winter months, a cozy night in bed “under the stars.”

I mean, take a look at that framed art piece! Super cute.
Your custom 8″ x 10″ order will be printed on high-quality matte paper. You describe the looks of the two “characters” in the piece (aka the couple), and the artist will take it from there.

16. Best Gift for Couples Who Have Everything: Couples Horseback Riding Adventure
It can be difficult to find a fabulous gift for the couple who already seemingly has everything. In this case, a “getaway” gift, like a horseback riding adventure, may be your best bet.
Similar ideas include horse-drawn carriage rides, scuba diving adventures, beach getaways and gifts for glamping.
For this category we’ve picked horseback riding as our #1 gift simply because it’s not something that everyone has the means to do. And honestly, what could be more romantic than riding away together into the sunset?

If the couple you’re gift shopping for is already adventurous at heart, chances are they have the travel bug.
Even if they can’t hop on a plane right now and jet off on their next big adventure, a gift that reminds them of all the times they have – and when they’ll once again be able to – will be a very welcome gift indeed.
Take this stellar push-pin travel map. With it, a couple can keep track of all the places they’ve already been, the places they want to go, and the distances in between them all.
The map comes personalized with their names and date established. Choose from several sizes, paper or canvas prints, and with or without a frame.

So what could be a better gift than an all expenses paid maternity shoot with a local professional photographer?
Because even though they may be expecting, this gift will be entirely unexpected, and something for which they’ll always be grateful.
There are several variations on this you can consider for expecting couples: An all-expenses-paid birth photography, “Fresh 48” photography for newborns (usually at the hospital, within 48 hours of birth), family and lifestyle photography shoot for after the baby is born.

With that in mind, here are some ideas to work with if you choose to give the gift of time: a date night (or nights) out on the town, a weekend getaway, a concert or play or sports event, an afternoon all to themselves.
Tip: A DIY coupon book like this one is a great way to offer “time” coupons that parents can “cash in” whenever they need to!

Something like this custom engraved “sweethearts” bird feeder would make a wonderful choice…
Imagine your mom and dad sitting on the back porch with a nice glass of something delicious, watching the birds together and harking back days gone by.
This gorgeous bird feeder is made from cedar wood, meaning it’s going to last a very long time, even outside.
It comes custom engraved with the initials of the two sweethearts carved inside of a lovely heart. Optionally, you can add engraving on the back panel as well, if you wanted to include a special personalized message.
