Can we all agree that every couple is unique? Sometimes you find that opposites attract. Other times, you can’t believe two triathloning, Harry-Potter-obsessed, world-travelers found each other. And when it comes to buying gifts for couples, you can bet, the possibilities are as endless as the kinds of pairs out there!
The New Homeowners
Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for housewarming gifts. But there are some tips that will help guide you in the right direction. When purchasing gifts for new homeowners, try to stick with neutral options that can go in multiple places in the house, especially if you don’t know the couple’s decorating style. If the items are also functional, even better!
It’s best to avoid statement pieces, unless you know exactly what the couple is looking for, as many couples prefer to select their own. When we created the beHOME box, we selected neutral, functional pieces like artisan coffee mugs, coasters, and a hand-poured candle.
The New Parents
We love babies. But often when a baby makes its grand debut, it is the star and the moms and dads become the extras. If you’re looking for a gift for this kind of couple, try to focus on buying something for the parents.
While you may be inclined to purchase this couple the gift of caffeine, like a coffee or tea related gift, it can be tricky because many new mothers limit their caffeine while breastfeeding. So probably better to avoid those kinds of gifts unless you know the mom’s post-partum diet.
Wellness gifts are a great idea and something they don’t have to leave the house to use! Something like our beCOZY box is a great option. This one has a blanket, comfy socks, a candle – perfect for snuggling with the new little one. 
The Condo Dwellers
You probably remember your early 20s, right? If we took a poll asking you how many square feet your first apartment was, we’d guess it would average under 500 square feet. Size is the name of the game when purchasing a couples housewarming gift. And because every inch counts, it’s important to focus on the functionality of each gift as well.
One of our favorite gifts for couples living in small spaces are the beREADY and beUNPLUGGED luxury gift boxes. Each box includes a set of modern Pestemal towels that fold up so small and are super absorbent. They make the most use of the small storage areas in smaller condos and apartments. Thinking about both the size and the functionality of a gift is key when buying for a couple living in a smaller space. 
The Power Couple
We all know a few of these, right? The ones who remind you of Beyonce and Jay-Z? They are uber successful and know how to command a room. So…when it comes to gift time, what do you get them? Briefcases – no. Something to do – probably not. Power couples tend to prefer to be in control of their calendars. So, then…what?
Our suggestion is to find a cause close to their heart. Do they have a niece or nephew that has autism? Perhaps a gift like our Beloved Bath products, that provide employment to people with autism. Do they have a passion for providing clean water to impoverished areas? Look for gifts that give back in that way. Or maybe they enjoy teas from around the world. Try a tea sampler set they’ve never tried – pro tip – there are some great options on Etsy!
Small spaces, new homes, new babies, and demanding careers – lots of things to consider when buying gifts for couples! What is the best couples gift you’ve purchased?
