With its high-quality materials and customization options, it’s the perfect gift for couples who value preserving special moments. You can gift the photo album fully designed (especially if you love the design element) or give a gift card and allow them to design it together.

A personalized cheese board makes a thoughtful and useful gift for any couple who enjoys entertaining or quiet nights in. The sleek combination of wood and marble gives it a stylish yet practical design. By engraving their last name, it adds a sentimental touch that makes this cheese board unique to them. It’s perfect for serving appetizers at gatherings or as a beautiful display piece in their kitchen. It’s a great gift on its own, or pair it with a few snacks to enjoy right away.

Turn their old film reels, VHS tapes, audio recordings, slides and photos into digital files they can preserve for the rest of their life — and beyond. Legacybox offers several digitizing tiers, from two items up to 40 items, allowing you to turn everything from 16mm film to Betamax tapes into digital files you can access from a thumb drive, a disc set or from the Cloud, where you'll have unlimited downloads. 

Simply fill your Legacybox with old home movies and pictures and sent it off to be digitized, and the brand does the rest. You'll get a list of barcodes to attach to your items so that you can track their digitization progress throughout the process. 

It doesn't matter whether they've lived in the same house for 30 years or are kicking off a new phase of live in a new home. Help them make it feel extra special with a personalized watercolor painting of their home that'll take pride of place when displayed. Etsy seller CasaBellaPortraits operates out of Colorado, shipping these customized digital watercolor prints for all types of occasions, as gifts for first-time homeowners to mementos of childhood homes. For older couples, it's a thoughtful gift that'll remind them of the beautiful life they've created together.

Turn their favorite photo into a fun puzzle for the entire family to enjoy! Choose from 25 pieces, 252 pieces, or up to 500 pieces in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on your photo. The unassembled photo pieces are stored in a commemorative cardboard gift box printed with the same photograph so they can keep it on display and refer to it while building the puzzle. The box features a black border around the lid and base for a sleek display.

This robe bundle is all about relaxation and comfort for couples who could use some well-deserved downtime. Featuring two ultra-soft robes—one for each of them — it encourages them to indulge in a little luxury after long days spent balancing everyday duties. Whether it's lounging around the house on a lazy weekend morning or winding down in the evening, these robes are a cozy reminder to prioritize self-care. 

The glossy leaves and braided trunk of a Chinese Money Tree makes it an excellent gift for pretty much any occasion. But it's because the tree symbolizes wealth and prosperity that makes it a good wedding or anniversary gift for couples. 

This one from 1-800-Flowers comes with a stylish seagrass woven basket and plastic liner so it can immediately be pulled from the delivery box and put on display. This medium plant will measure about 30-inches high upon delivery. 

Made with Viscose from bamboo, Oprah dubbed these breathable sheets in 2018 to be "the softest ever and may help regulate body temperature, meaning both chilly sleepers and hot flashers can get a good night’s rest."

She might be onto something, too. Natural fibers like cotton and bamboo are often more breathable than synthetic materials like microfiber and polyester. For a good night's sleep, you're better off tucking into a set natural, organic sheets than a cheap set of polyester ones that'll have you sweating throughout the night.

All of that said, there's nothing nicer than being gifted a set of really, really luxurious sheets, which is why these would make a great gift for any couple.

For the couple who have a weekly Facetime in the books, make their calls even easier with an Echo Show. Use it like a tablet for tuning into video calls, set it up like a digital picture frame to rotate through photos, set it up as a calendar, use it for recipes and so much more. 

This 2023 model of the Amazon Echo Show also includes an auto monthly subscription to Alexa Emergency, which provides hands-free, fast, 24/7 help when it's needed most. With Alexa Emergency, first responders can access pre-saved critical information like allergies, gate codes or whether there are pets in the home. You can also set it up so that Alexa notifies you if it detects a smoke or carbon monoxide detector going off in the home when you aren't around.

The Pizza Night Set from Brightland is a fun and delicious gift that will bring some excitement to their kitchen. This set includes everything they need to adorn homemade pizza with artisanal ingredients: flavorful olive oils and a range of seasonings that take their pizza-making game to the next level. It’s an interactive and tasty way for couples to bond over their love of food, creating memories while crafting the perfect pizza.

Original artwork is one of the best gifts you can give. Not only do you get to support an artist by doing so, but you'll be giving a genuinely thoughtful and one-of-a-kind gift that can be passed down through the generations. Titled "April to May," this urban realism oil on wood painting by Chicago-based artist Darren Thompson brings to evokes references to 20th Century American painters like Edward Hopper and George Bellows. 

Of course if this isn't quite to the taste of your giftees, you can find plenty of other original paintings and artworks at Saatchi Art — many for under $500, too.

Whether they're honeymooning or are going on a family trip, make sure they're prepared for their next getaway with a new set of durable luggage. Away's luggage has been one of our favorites for a while, thanks to the brand's thoughtful design features, stylish colorways and fun personalization add-on. 

When you bundle two or more pieces, you save at least $50. We recommend bundling The Carry On and The Medium, which should work for almost any trip they take. Both are made of a lightweight, durable hardcase shell with 360-degree wheels and interior compression straps. The Carry On is sized to fit in all overhead bins and ideal for three- to five-day trips, while The Medium is a midsize checked suitcase that's perfect for one- to two-weeks away.

Personalize them with up to three letters for just $10. 

Some couples don't want more stuff and things. For those folks, give them the gift of an experience they can do together. With a $15 annual subscription to Masterclass, they can take over 200 digital classes with some of the greatest minds across 11 different categories. 

Learn modern middle eastern cooking with Yotam Ottolenghi, or master the art of scientific thinking and communication with Neil deGrasse Tyson. Take a photography lesson with Annie Leibovitz or learn about filmmaking from Martin Scorsese. The lessons are truly endless.
