It can be hard enough to come up with great gift ideas for individual people on your list, but it’s doubly challenging to come up with a combination gift for your favorite couple. It is possible, however, to kill two (love)birds with one stone, so to speak, especially if you have at least a general idea of the likes and dislikes of each. For instance, if he loves sports but she couldn’t tell a quarterback from a shortstop, a pair of tickets on the 50-yard line would delight only half of your dynamic duo. Here, then, are some suggestions that can delight times two:

An Evening Together

Many couples, especially those with kids, simply don’t have the time to share enough one-on-one, quality time with each other. Make a gift of offering to take the kids out for the evening, or even having them camp out at your place for the night. It’s a present that many couples wouldn’t dream of asking for, yet would love to have – peace, quiet and togetherness. Depending on your budget, you might also present them with a restaurant gift-certificate and/or movie passes, but the greatest gift is time, and they’ll love you for it.

The Spa Treatment

Just about anyone, young or old, male or female, loves to be pampered, and the couple on your list will appreciate the opportunity to have those tense neck and back muscles massaged, their aching feet soaked, their skin warmed and toned, and all manner of being refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated to their hearts’ content.

A Toast to the Happy Couple

A good bottle of wine is often an appropriate gift, but it’s also a fairly common one. For a creative twist, why not have it be a monthly gift delivered to their door? There are many websites – ClubsGalore.com, GreatClubs.com, and FlyingNoodle.com, to name just a few examples — that offer Wine of the Month gifts, so even if you’re not a connoisseur yourself, their experts choose the tastiest and most interesting selections for you.

What if she likes wine, but he’s strictly a beer drinker? These sites also offer Beer of the Month gifts, so each half of your happy couple can get into the spirit. In fact, ClubsGalore.com also offers additional spirits, including vodka and bourbon. This site also offers combination packages so you can tailor your selections even more specifically.

And, for the teetotalers, many of these sites offer not only tea but coffee as well, each beverage presented as a monthly gift in various gourmet flavors.

Eat and Be Merry

Continuing with the monthly club theme, many of the sites mentioned also offer monthly goodies including cheeses, hors d’oeuvres, chocolates, cakes and ice creams. Like any creative gift, these are items on which the recipients may not typically splurge for themselves, yet which they’ll be delighted to receive. And, like any tasty food item, these are gifts that stimulate the senses and which the pair can relish together.

Knowing the couple is half the battle, but even if you know only one of the partners well, you can often get some clues just by asking a few well-chosen questions. For instance, while sharing a cup of java with your friend: “So, does Harry like coffee as much as we do, or will he drink pretty much whatever you put in front of him?” You’ll soon have the information you need to give the couple a gift they’ll both appreciate.
