The Perfect Couples Gift Baskets

The trick with "have everything" couples is to shift from objects to experiences—or at least, objects that create experiences. They probably don't need another vase or set of wine glasses. But a gift that gives them an excuse to spend time together, try something new, or enjoy a ritual? That's harder to duplicate.

Think consumables they wouldn't buy themselves (quality over quantity), activity-based gifts that create a memory, or upgrades to things they already do. Our Pasta Night basket gives them a date night in. The Picnic Basket turns an ordinary afternoon into an event. Movie Night, Perfect Night In, and Let's Do Brunch all work the same way—they're not just ‘stuff’ to own, they're experiences to have.

A great couples gift passes one test: can they enjoy it together? Too many "couples gifts" are really just two individual gifts packaged together. The best ones create a shared moment—something they'll open, use, or experience side by side.

This means leaning toward things that are inherently shareable: Food like gourmet snacks and drinks (e.g., fine wines) they'll consume together, an activity they'll do as a pair, or something for a space they share.

Avoid anything that skews too heavily toward one person's taste unless you know the couple well enough to navigate that. Luxury couples gift baskets like the Champlain XL and Stratford are designed with sharing in mind, while experience-focused options like Pasta Night or the Picnic Basket give them something to do together.

Engagement gifts sit in an interesting spot—the couple is celebrating, but they're also about to be inundated with wedding gifts. This is your chance to give something for right now, not for the registry.

Consider something celebratory they can enjoy during the engagement period itself: Champagne, gourmet gifts, something indulgent. Or go practical-but-elevated with items for their new shared life. Our Celebration with Champagne and Celebrate Rosé boxes are designed for exactly this kind of moment. The Celebrate Love gift box—available with Mr./Mrs., Mrs./Mrs., or Mr./Mr. mugs—adds a personal touch that acknowledges the milestone without stepping on wedding gift territory.

Anniversary gifts work best when they acknowledge the specific couple and where they are in their relationship. A first anniversary calls for something different than a twenty-fifth. Early anniversaries often suit romantic, indulgent gifts; later ones can lean into comfort, shared rituals, or a nod to everything they've built together.

For romantic occasions, Celebration with Champagne or Perfect Night In set the tone. For couples who've settled into comfortable contentment, Keeping It Cozy (with its cashmere blanket and treats) or a Cashmere Blanket on its own feels appropriately luxurious. If they're foodies, Pasta Night or Let's Do Brunch gives them an experience to share.

Yes! Our Design A Gift option lets you build a bespoke beautiful gift baskets from scratch. You choose the items, we handle the presentation and delivery. You can also explore personalized gift options.

This is particularly useful when you know the couple well enough to curate something specific to their tastes, or when you want to combine items that don't appear together in our pre-curated baskets. It's also a good option for corporate gifting or occasions where you want the gift to feel truly one-of-a-kind. You can include a personalized message and have it delivered anywhere across Canada and the USA.

When you don't know the couple's tastes, lean toward universally enjoyable consumables rather than permanent items. Food and drink gifts work well because they don't require you to guess anyone's aesthetic preferences, and they don't linger in someone's home if they're not quite right.

Avoid anything too niche (hobby-specific, strongly styled décor, alcohol if you're unsure they drink) and stick to crowd-pleasers. Gourmet chocolate, quality snacks, and coffee or tea gifts tend to land safely. Our Chocolate Delight or Stratfordare all reliably well-received. If you want something a bit more substantial but still neutral, Champlain XL covers a range of tastes.

Housewarming gifts should either help them settle in or help them enjoy the new space. Practical items they'll actually use beat decorative objects they'll have to find a place for—unless you know their style well.

Food-focused gifts work particularly well here because new homeowners are often too busy (or too broke after the move) to stock up on nice-to-haves. Something that fills their pantry or gives them an easy hosting option takes the pressure off. Our Home At Last basket is designed specifically for this moment. Pasta Night, Salad Bowl, or BBQ Sizzler give them an easy first dinner party.

Moving in together is a different milestone than moving into a new house. It's less about the property and more about the relationship—they're merging lives, not just addresses.

Gifts that acknowledge this transition tend to resonate: things for their first shared space, items that help them build new routines together, or simply something celebratory to mark the moment. Home At Last works here too, but you might also consider Keeping It Cozy (for nights in on their new couch), Let's Do Brunch (for lazy weekend mornings together), or a cashmere blanket that's theirs rather than "yours" or "mine." Faux flower arrangements also brighten a new space without requiring maintenance.

Yes. We deliver across both countries, so you can send couples gifts regardless of where the recipients live. For couples in different cities or those who've recently relocated, this makes it easy to celebrate from a distance.

If you're ordering from outside North America, you can still ship to Canadian and US addresses—useful when you want to send a gift across the border or surprise someone far from home.

Yes—we offer same-day delivery within Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area when you order by 10:00 am EST, Monday to Friday. This is helpful when you need to send gift baskets for last-minute anniversary saves, spontaneous celebrations, or those moments when you realize the date snuck up on you.

For orders outside the GTA or with more lead time, standard delivery options are available across Canada and the USA.
