There’s just about a candle for every mood — including the newly engaged. Check out the Homesick Let’s Toast Candle for a signature scent the perfect pair can light on special occasions and when enjoying quality time at home. It’s hand-crafted in the USA, is a natural soy blend and has scent notes of mandarin and grapefruit, most distinctly.
Montillo’s Baking Company JFK’s Wedding Cake
Let’s talk about cake, baby. When newly engaged, many celebrations ensue — including eating lots of cake. So, why not pick up the Presidential White House recipe that JFK had at his wedding? Available at Goldbelly (which has been whipping up the secret concoction for years), it tastes as good as it looks (and makes for great conversation).
Pearhead Mr. & Mrs. Champagne Flute Set
This edit would be incomplete without a mention of Mr. & Mrs. champagne flutes to kick the engagement season into full gear. This elegant duo from Kate Spade New York is hard to resist — and is just $20.
Harry & David Belgian Chocolate Celebration Gift
As mentioned, celebrations plus engagement excitement equals much eating like royalty. The Harry & David Belgian Chocolate Celebration Gift is perfect for the couple you know who has a sweet tooth and it comes with a well-varied display of chocolate covered pretzels and treats.
Mr. & Mrs. Luggage Tag
Perhaps the engaged couple you know is planning a celebratory trip (or, is simply heads-down focused on their upcoming honeymoon).

When we first came across a company that sends baking kits to your door, we were all ears. The Bake Eat Love Raspberry and Chocolate Eclairs Baking Kit is perfect for a romantic dessert hour at home — and a less-than-$50 gift idea for the couple you know who’ll appreciate a fun activity.
Brightland The Duo Olive Oil Set
After reviewing Brightland’s all-over-Instagram olive oil, we were colored impressed.

Not to mention, it comes in super cute packaging that doubles as counter decor.

On the topic of food, the Personalized Compact Swivel Cheese Board from Uncommon Goods holds a premier spot on our wishlists.

Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player
If there’s a couple you know that’s (1) into music and (2) a lover of all things vintage, the Victrola Vintage 3-Speed Bluetooth Record Player is an Amazon best-seller and worth your coin.

MasterClass Subscription
We get the feeling — the frustration of shopping for the couple who has everything. Luckily with MasterClass, its expert- and celebrity-taught online learning platform is fit for any person with any interest. If you’re interested in learning about exclusive cooking tips from Gordon Ramsay or how to build your brand from Kris Jenner, $15 a month is well-worth it. (Hint hint: read our MasterClass review for more).
Not to mention, it’s one of the best online class platforms we recommend year-round.
Personalized Hearts Four-Across Game
For a unique take on Connect 4, the Personalized Hearts Four-Across Game is great to gift to any couple you know (or, to snag for you and your boo to play). We love how it integrates hearts instead of circles (for a loving touch) and how it’s the perfect rainy day activity.
Zebco 33 Spincast Reel & 2-Piece Fishing Rod Combo
When brisk, enjoyable weather rolls around, fishing is a cute date idea. Gift the couple you know the Zebco 33 Spincast Reel & 2-Piece Fishing Rod Combo. It’s just shy of $50 and gives the perfect pair a fun activity to add to their calendars.
For a fun add-on, pick up a tackle box ($25.99 $13.38) — and perhaps fill it with some of their favorite candy — to really present them with a thoughtful touch.
Best Luxury Gifts for Couples
Tommy Hilfiger Logan Softside Luggage Collection
Luggage makes for a practical gift any couple would appreciate — especially if it’s a complete set. The Tommy Hilfiger Logan Softside Luggage Collection stood out to us for a number of reasons, one being its buildable nature; you can buy one piece or as many as you (or the couple you’re gifting to) needs. Not to mention, it looks like it would be upwards of $1,000 but is no more than $400 if you purchase all four pieces.
Linum Home Personalized 100% Turkish Cotton Terry Bath Robe
When stepping out of your shower or bubble bath, there’s nothing better than tending to your skincare routine and wrapping yourself up in a nice and cozy robe. From Macy’s pick up the Linum Home Bath Robe. It’s made of 100% Turkish Cotton to make you feel like royalty and you can personalize the initial of choice. For less than $100 each, it’ll be cherished for years.
Brooklinen Luxe Core Sheet Set
After reviewing Brooklinen’s Luxe Core Sheet Set, there was no going back. It’s one of our most acclaimed recommendations, much ado to its soft, hotel-like comfort and versatility.

Ninja Woodfire 7-in-1 Outdoor Grill
The Ninja Woodfire 7-in-1 Outdoor Grill is one of the best splurges we reviewed (seriously, it changed the game with our alfresco dinner parties). There are so many recipes you can cook on this all-in-one cookware piece — and we surely recommend it.
Ecotouge Casino Poker Table
Extra unique, the Ecotouge Casino Poker Table is truly how to get the party started. Whether it’s to whip out in your apartment when entertaining or to keep fully assembled at all times in the basement, there’s nothing like setting the vibes just like you’d find at Atlantic City (well, close to it).
To complete the gift, pick up a poker chip set ($40) for endless amounts of game nights with loved ones.
Sony Soundbar & Subwoofer
Some couples you know are really into tech (think: always on the prowl for the latest and greatest electronic device). To level up their TV-watching experience, pick up a soundbar.
Specifically, Sony’s model delivers deeper and richer bass sound to provide that cinema-like experience at home. Plus, it’s wall-mountable design fits flush on your back wall, so it won’t be an eyesore.
Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine
The Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine is one of our reader’s most-loved rowing machines, likely for its value. It’s $250 right now, is great for small spaces and is the perfect gift for couples who are all about their fitness journey.

Solo Stove Pi Pizza Oven
What’s a surefire stellar gift that’s sure to be the star of anyone’s home? The Solo Stove Pi Pizza Oven, of course. This is another option we recommend.
Whether the couple you know has a massive backyard or a smaller patio, a pizza oven is guaranteed to bring the heat to any festivity. You’ll have coal-fire creations before you know it, too.
Anthropologie Tamara Vase
For some, luxury extends to home decor. Anthropologie’s Tamara Vase surely fits the bill with its modern design and simplistic charm. Though a splurge, it’s well worth it if you want to rely on one vase for years to come (and a stylish one at that!)

What better way to celebrate the advent of a new home than with personalized coasters to place atop their coffee table? For the price, they’re elegant, practical and a bundle they’ll appreciate.
Dash Everyday Stainless Steel Bread Maker
There are many serotonin boosts in the world, but one of them is definitely freshly made bread. We have been using our Dash Everyday Stainless Steel Bread Maker and can’t stop — its recipe guide takes the guesswork out of starting your sourdough journey and it’s great to have on deck for all sorts of entertaining.
AuKing Mini Projector
On some days, movie nights in the backyard sound romantic and cozy. For a supreme housewarming gift, pick up the AuKing Mini Projector. It’s less than $100 right now and allows you to watch any of your favorite shows and movies under the stars.
Personalized Cutting Board
We have yet to meet a cuter cutting board than the Uncommon Goods Personalized Cutting Board. Photogenically, the two names of the couple you’re gifting to are thoughtfully carved at the top of this kitchen essential (which doubles as an elegant piece of kitchen decor when propped up in front of a backsplash).
Lulu Candles Espresso Bean Vegan Candle
Lulu Candles continues to be an Amazon brand we constantly recommend. If the couple you know loves the scent and taste of coffee, they’ll appreciate its Espresso Bean scent that’s 100% vegan and instantly transports you to your favorite coffeeshop even when it’s unlit. Not to mention, the brand has other scents to browse.
Dyson V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum
After reviewing five Dyson vacuums, we deem the brand’s V8 Cordless Stick Vacuum as our tried-and-true favorite. Its easy-to-maneuver style and impressive power and speed make it great for small and large spaces and soft and hard floors alike.

When we hear the words housewarming gift, we think of welcome mats. Take the average, drab one up a notch with the Elegant Monogram Personalized Doormat for just $20. Practical and personalized — what’s better than that?
Bake Me A Wish Cookie & Brownie Snack Box
Fill up their pantry with some stocked sweets from Bake Me A Wish. We love the taste of its Cookie & Brownie Snack Box and can’t believe this well-packaged bundle is just shy of $35. When in doubt, you can’t go wrong with a cookie delivery.
Pillivuyt Plisse Serving Bowl
Us browsing at Williams Sonoma is like a kid shopping at a toy store — our wishlist keeps expanding. The Pillivuyt Plisse Serving Bowl is the $100 gift that’ll keep the couple you know movin’ and groovin’ when entertaining. Not to mention, its sleek white exterior matches with everything and is of high quality.
Best Gifts for Long-Distance Couples

There’s nothing more endearing than to look at a custom artwork that’s (1) sentimental and (2) reminds you of your long-distance partner. For less than $40, you can choose the states of your choice from Uncommon Goods and cherish it for years to come (well, until you’re no longer long distance).
Message Pill Co. Long Distance Message in a Bottle
If you love sending your partner love notes (whether in the mail, over text or through email), the Message Pill Co. Long Distance Message in a Bottle is something your partner will adore whenever they open one of your thoughtful messages. If their love language is words of affirmation, this is the golden gift.
Lovebox Spinning Heart Messenger
We reviewed the Lovebox Spinning Heart Messenger and though you can buy one for $130, we recommend snagging two so you and your partner can send and receive messages. It connects to its paired app (where you can curate messages and GIFs, and even send photos from your album) and spins when you receive a message.
Reasons Why I Love You Linen Journal Book
We think the Reasons Why I Love You Linen Journal Book is the cutest Amazon find we’ve seen in a hot minute. If you want to show your partner just how much you appreciate them, this $16 grab is one that delivers love and appreciation from miles away.
Georgetown Cupcake Best-Seller Cupcake Dozen
Aside from long-distance phone calls with your S.O., a best-selling assortment from Georgetown Cupcake sounds like a plan. This 12-pack is great to send something sweet to the one you’re hoping to (soon) meet after the throes of long distance, and we’re just about to write Goldbelly a sincere thank-you note for hosting this fabulous dessert box on its site.
1-800 Flowers Floral Embrace Bouquet
The quintessential long-distance relationship gift is, without a doubt, flowers. Pick up the Floral Embrace for your partner (especially if sunflowers are their favorite) and every time they’ll see the fresh blooms, they’ll think of you.

Letters to Open When… Book
For a little thinking-of-you gift, we wholeheartedly recommend the Letters to Open When…. Book. It has cute prompts that allow you to write a page (or more) of sweet notes for your S.O. Not only that, but it’s even packaged like a long-distance gift (and for that, it gets our stamp of approval — pun totally intended).
Artifact Uprising Softcover Mini Photo Book
Share your memories from state to state or overseas with Artifact Uprising’s Softcover Mini Photo Book. For less than $20, it’s a great way to display your memories and ensures your precious poses won’t get lost, as is the case with some traditional photo albums.

Herschel Novel Duffel Bag
Long distance means somewhat frequent trips to visit your One and Only. The Herschel Novel Duffel Bag is one of our favorite gifts we’ve ever given, many thanks to its practical, well-made design and wealth of color options to suit every taste. Plus, it’s something that will last for years of travel.
Facebook Portal Mini Smart Video Calling 8″ Display
Also when we think of long distance: we think of lots of video calls. Elevate your time on the screen with the Facebook Portal Mini Smart Video Calling 8″ Display. It’s touchscreen-compatible, works with our BFF (her name is Alexa, we’re sure you’ve heard of her) and even allows you to listen to music when you’re not on the phone with your S.O.
Best Gifts for Couples with Kids
GoSports Cornhole Set
Though Cornhole is wonderful with just you and your partner, it’s even more fun when the kids are involved. This best-selling Amazon set is less than $100 and comes with all the bean bags and the storage case to make it a perfect gift.

We scream, you scream, we all scream for — ice cream! For a fabulous addition to the kitchen your kids (and partner) will love, the Cuisinart ICE 1.5-Qt. Ice Cream Maker is one of the best less-than-$75 spends you’ll make. Plus, it also makes frozen yoghurt if so desired.
Baked by Melissa Latest & Greatest Cupcakes
Whether the couple you know has kids under the age of 10 or in their teens, you can’t go wrong with a Baked by Melissa cupcake assortment. Delight everyone in the family with its best-sellers crate (pro tip: red velvet is the way to go).
Fujifilm Instax Mini 11 Instant Camera
