It can be spouses or just lovers celebrating a housewarming, wedding anniversary or Valentine's Day. In such cases, you want to please both the girl and the guy. In this article, we will look at what you can give a couple to please both.
Gifts for lovers
A couple in love who has not yet started a family, as a rule, is distinguished by a sweet romanticism. They should give gifts that will become symbols of their wonderful feelings. You can order an interesting statuette in the form of an Oscar with the inscription “Given to the best couple of the year”. Be sure that such a gift will delight both lovers. But if they do not live together yet, the question may arise who will keep such a “rarity”.
In this case, paired gifts are ideal. You can purchase 2 t-shirts in different sizes. On the female one there may be an inscription “I am his beloved”, and on the male one - “I am her beloved”. There are a lot of original inscriptions. You can choose a ready-made copy or offer your own idea. You can also order tea cups with the same text for both lovers.
Recently, it has become very fashionable to give a couple pillows with various inscriptions, interesting pictures or even photographs. Choose a beautiful photo of the couple and order two identical pillows with it. Such a present will not only become a symbol of love, but will also remind you of your soulmate every day before going to bed. A photo album can be a similar gift. You can give it empty, or you can try to fill it at least half with the best photos of the couple. They are easy to find on social media profiles, so do not be lazy to make such a surprise.
Gifts for couples
It is better for a couple who has started a family, especially if this happened recently, to give practical things for the home and household. A powerful vacuum cleaner, an electric meat grinder, a mixer, a blender, a high-quality juicer, a toaster or a sandwich maker, an electric kettle or a coffee maker - all this will greatly facilitate the life of a newly-made family.
For the home, you can also donate various dishes and kitchen utensils. A set of plates, coffee and dinner sets, sets of forks and knives, beautiful fruit vases, soup bowls and salad bowls - all this is useful in any home.
Don't forget about quality bathroom items. A soft foot mat, paired bath towels or a standard set of three towels, a mirror with shelves, good bathrobes after bathing (you can choose women's and men's in the same color scheme, or you can choose dark for a man, and light for a woman).
The family can also be given an original picture on the wall, a wall or table clock, a photo album for family photos, interesting souvenirs for the living room, a floor vase for flowers, a jewelry box or an old-style chest. A solid gift would be a wooden bottle stand, to which you can pick up good wine or expensive cognac, depending on what the couple prefers.
For a young married couple, you can order two pendants made of gold or silver in the form of halves of a heart, which together will form a beautiful heart - a permanent symbol of love. In this style, you can pick up other presents, consisting of two parts of one whole. This option is not only a gift for both, but also means a wish for a lasting and harmonious union.
It would be nice to give a married couple a vacation ticket or tickets to some event that is interesting for both spouses. To do this, you just need to know in advance about the family's schedule, since such an unplanned vacation may not be possible due to being very busy at work, etc. But you can almost always get out to a concert or show in the evening.
The anniversary of family life is a serious and solemn event, so the choice of a gift for a married couple must be approached very seriously. If you don't know what to give for your wedding anniversary, follow the traditional tips. Each year is associated with a certain material, so the present should be made from it. But, you see, it is not easy to choose a beautiful and practical gift made of cast iron, tin or paper. Therefore, it is sometimes worth deviating from traditions and connecting your own imagination to the choice of a present.
What should be a marriage anniversary gift
Choosing a gift for a wedding anniversary is very careful and careful. It is desirable that the present reminds the spouses of the significance of the anniversary and the number of years lived. But if it is just useful for everyday life, that’s also not bad.
If the couple are your close friends, then you probably know what they need. If you do not communicate very closely, then you can choose a gift based on traditions, or just buy something you need.
In order not to miscalculate, you can complement any gift with a themed souvenir or decoration. For example, on the first wedding anniversary - chintz, give household appliances and pack them in a chintz bag or supplement them with napkins from this material, and a gift for a pink wedding should be complemented by a bouquet of flowers.
Remember that an anniversary gift is for both spouses, so it must be universal. If you give something for the interior, kitchen or everyday life, it will be an appropriate gift. You can also choose individual gifts for each of the spouses.

Universal gifts for the family
The anniversary of family life is a good occasion to present something useful to the couple. Gifts that improve our life can be given by friends and relatives. There are several win-win options:
- Appliances. Home appliances will suit both a young family that is just starting to settle down, and a respectable couple. The main thing is to find out what they don’t already have and choose a really useful technique. For example, if a husband and wife are adherents of a healthy diet, they will like a double boiler or a slow cooker, and a family with children will be delighted with an ice cream maker or a milk frother.
- Textiles for the home. Bed linen, towels or a warm blanket will never be superfluous, unlike dishes or paintings. The main thing is to choose something interesting, for example, a bed with Kama Sutra for a young couple.
- Money box. The gift is a little banal, but sweet, because the financial situation of the family largely depends on the ability to save and save money. By the way, you can’t give an empty piggy bank, so it can serve as an original packaging for a cash present.
- Any pair of items. Interesting products in a similar style and similar design will emphasize the unity of the spouses and the strength of the family. You can choose from paired sofa cushions, t-shirts, original mugs, bedside lamps, etc. Do not be afraid to show imagination, and you will definitely choose the best gift.
- Vacation for two. If the spouses do not have time to devote enough time to rest and to each other due to chores, you can present them with a certificate for visiting a spa, restaurant, cinema, etc. Fans of a more active holiday will enjoy horseback riding, quad biking or even a hot air balloon ride.
A gift from a man must be complemented by a bouquet. You can also bring sweets and alcohol.
Is it worth donating money?
When you need to choose a useful and versatile gift, the first thing that comes to mind is an envelope with money. This is a perfectly acceptable option if:
- The gift is intended for a young family with not the best financial situation;
- You can donate quite a serious amount;
- Spouses need money to buy some useful thing;
- Are you a relative or very close friend of this family?
- You have no idea what to give, but you know that spouses may be offended if the gift does not fit.
If you decide to give money, you need to present it correctly, for example, for a wooden wedding, a present can be packed in a box made of this material, for porcelain - in an elegant teapot, for paper - in a bright envelope.
Original gifts
If you want to present something unusual and pleasant for the anniversary of your life together, you can choose a gift that reminds you of the best moments in the life of the spouses. Only very close people, best friends, parents or children can make such a present. A young couple who recently lived together can prepare a collage of their first joint photos, reminiscent of the acquaintance and the beginning of a relationship. Friends can search for funny photos or videos from parties and holidays, and prepare a presentation or video.
People who have lived together for more than a dozen years can be reminded of their youth, for example, by throwing a party in the style of the 70s, 80s, or 90s. They should like the collections of music from those times. You can purchase some vinyl records and a turntable. And you can also organize a celebration in a place where a wedding took place many years ago.
A very good gift is a portrait of the spouses. But it is suitable for big anniversaries, for example, a silver wedding or a gold one. It is not worth giving a picture every year.
If the spouses are still young and active people - give them a photo session, you can with children and grandchildren. Then all the photos can be arranged in the form of one large album about the life of the family, supplementing it with older pictures.
It is very important to give any gift from the heart and try to please. Your present will definitely be liked if it contains a piece of your warmth and respect.

Despite the fact that there is still a month before the New Year, preparations for it in many families are already in full swing: gifts are gradually bought, long lists of holiday games and competitions, dishes for the New Year's table and films for cozy family viewing are written. The main thing is not to forget about anyone. And if choosing gifts for your children is a simple matter, then you will have to rack your brains over gifts for your family friends. Especially when it’s impossible to go beyond the budget.
So, how to please couples among their friends, if the limit of funds for 1 gift is no more than 1000 rubles?
Set of Christmas toys/balls
There are three options here: buy not the most luxurious set of Christmas decorations; buy one or two, but fantastically beautiful toys; and option number 3 - make toys yourself.
Actually, master classes on creating such masterpieces - a wagon and a small cart - and if the pens are golden, and Heaven has not been deprived of talent - go ahead!
For example, you can buy a package of inexpensive balloons (200-300 rubles), and on their basis create your own works of art that friends will carefully store and pass on from generation to generation. And with the money saved, you can buy a bottle of champagne (well, not only balls, after all, to give).
Warming New Year's set "For dear friends"
In the set we buy: delicious aromatic tea (not your favorite, but according to the taste of your friends), a couple of white cups and sweets. We pack everything in a beautiful box filled with tinsel and confetti. We draw a beautiful and stylish black and white postcard (plots can be peeped on the Web).
If you have talent, you can decorate the cups in the same style as the postcard. Just be sure to choose paints that are designed for this purpose.
A nice bonus in the set will be a small jar of honey, which, of course, also needs to be beautifully decorated.
Sweet gift "For a sweet couple"
Is there anything more precious than emotions? Nothing! Give emotions to your relatives and friends!
We buy a lot of sweets - sweets, chocolates, and so on. We carefully attach a capsule with a wish to each sweet. Beautifully packaged in a box or (recommended) in a wooden chest.
If there is free space in the box (or chest), we fill it with tinsel and tangerines. You can also put it there.
Photocalendar
A great idea that doesn't cost much.
We select the best photos of our friends, dump them on a flash drive and take them to the nearest organization (printing house), which will quickly and beautifully make you a colorful calendar (poster, flip, etc. - of your choice) with the photos provided.
With the money saved, we buy an inexpensive basket, which we fill with our own pastries or.
If there is no confectionery talent, you can fill the basket with “stocks for the winter”: we take out 4-5 small jars of pickles and preserves from the pantry (refrigerator, store) and, having beautifully packed them, put them in a basket.
Set for mulled wine
A nice gift that will definitely come in handy for friends on long and cold winter evenings.
So, the set should include: 2 glass glasses with handles for hot drinks, a bottle of red sweet, semi-sweet or dry wine (cahors, merlot, kindzmarauli or cabernet will do) and spices.
Fortified wines are bypassed (when heated, they give off a strong smell of alcohol)!
The set of spices should include nutmeg (approx. - grated), cloves, cinnamon sticks and ground ginger.
Be sure to draw or buy a card for friends, in which you write a couple of the best recipes for making mulled wine.
Cake for friends
If you know how to bake cakes and decorate them with sugar paste the way modern confectioners do, then you can save on a gift.
But even if you yourself are not capable of such masterpieces, you can always order a cake from the appropriate company. We choose the design of the cake, according to the occupations and characters of friends.
Important: you need to order such a gift in advance! Before the new year, there are always a lot of orders in such confectioneries, and you may simply not be in time.
Gift for two
We buy everything we have enough money for.
It can be 2 personalized mugs with an inscription (drawing) that starts on one mug and ends on the other.
Or 2 glasses for champagne, decorated with your own hands.
2 T-shirts or pillows united by one plot; mittens for lovers - or identical scarves with hats (you can save money if you knit them yourself), and so on.
cash gift
Since we only have 1000 rubles for a gift, we cannot give an umbrella from which banknotes are pouring. The option - to fill it with coins - is not suitable (whoever opens this umbrella may be left without eyes).
Therefore, in our case, there are only 3 options: an original piggy bank (for example, in the form of a safe) with a starting capital-penny; do-it-yourself money tree; money tree ficus; a brick in a gift box with 1,000 rubles in an envelope - as a contribution to the construction of the future house of friends (wouldn't pourquoi be pas?).
Another original set as a gift for a young couple
In a gift box we put a piece of toilet soap and an energy-saving light bulb (“So that your love is pure and certainly bright!”); carpentry and culinary hammers (“May your happiness be forged for centuries!”); 2 pairs of boxing gloves (“So that relationships are sorted out in fair fights”); books on repair and culinary arts, etc.
DIY
The option is ideal if the hands are in place, and the only one if the budget is bursting at the seams.
With your own hands you can do anything, according to your talents. For example, paint a picture for friends; embroider a picture with beads; buy a set of simple white dishes - and paint it with your own hands; sew a patchwork bedspread; make a designer vase, figurine or dolls; and so on.
The main thing is from a pure heart and with love for your dear friends.
The right gift that will come in handy in the household
Giving textiles is not fashionable and even somehow embarrassing. But still, a fluffy blanket for two will be a pleasant surprise in the middle of winter.
Naturally, you need to choose the coloring, either the funniest one or the one that will suit the interior of your friends.
The size is better to take the euro - you can't go wrong. The average price of a soft blanket that fits into a washing machine (it’s better not to take a thick blanket - you have to take them to a dry cleaner, why put a “pig” on your friends) is about 500-600 rubles.
For the remaining funds, you can buy a tea pair or a bottle of wine.
Gift for outdoor enthusiasts
If your friends are fans of camping, traveling, camping and mosquitoes, give them something that will be useful on a camping trip. For example, a thermos with a couple of cups, or a camping set of dishes.
Naturally, it needs to be decorated with original images and congratulations - on your own, or with the help of an appropriate company.
On the eve of the holidays, there is always the problem of choosing gifts for your loved ones and relatives. But the most difficult question "" worries me especially. The answer to it seems unrealistic, but for you we have gathered will, imagination and ingenuity together and made a selection of gifts. Now, based on the characteristics of the couple being presented and your financial capabilities, you can give exactly what you need. So, let's begin?
