The best Christmas gift for couples doesn’t arrive shrink-wrapped in plastic or tucked under glittery paper with a generic label that screams “panic buy.” It’s not a throwaway token. It’s a gesture. A shared moment. A chance to press pause on everything else and say: this is for you two, together.
Because the truth is, couples don’t need another cheese board or matching his-and-hers novelty mugs. They need time. Connection. A reason to get out of the house, away from the washing-up, and into something magical. Whether it’s adrenaline-fuelled, wonderfully indulgent, or just laugh-out-loud daft, a great Christmas present is one that creates memories - not clutter.
Why Experiences Make the Best Couple's Gifts
Stuff fades. Batteries die. Socks disappear. But an experience? That becomes part of the couple’s story. It’s what they’ll talk about for years. “Remember that time we flew over the countryside in a helicopter and he screamed louder than the toddler next to us?” That. That’s the gift.
Gifts for Couples from Activity Superstore let you give that kind of unforgettable moment - whether it’s cosy, luxurious, thrilling, or just deliciously silly. Designed for real people who love each other (even when they steal the duvet), these gifts go well beyond the wrapping paper.
Two Nights Away: Because Time Together Is Worth More Than Gold
For couples who desperately need a break from the endless to-do lists and phone notifications, there’s the gloriously simple joy of the Two Night Getaway for Two. It’s time off - without the airport queues. Choose from hand-picked hotels in sleepy villages, coastal towns or bustling cities. Whether it’s a romantic escape or just a long-overdue nap with room service, this is the kind of Christmas present that says, “You’ve earned this.”
- Ideal for staycations or spontaneous road trips
- Time to reconnect - without laundry in the background
Super Yacht Stay: Luxury on a Plate (and a Pillow)
For couples who like their romance with a side of sparkle and a splash of wine, the Executive Yacht Overnight Stay with Dinner and Wine is a showstopper. Docked in London, this five-star floating hotel is sheer extravagance: panoramic city views, three-course dining, a private balcony and first-class interiors that’ll have them swanning about like film stars.
Not to be dramatic, but if this doesn’t make them fall in love all over again, nothing will.
55 Miles Up: The Gift of Shared Giddy Excitement
There are couples who want spa robes, and there are couples who want *rotor blades*. The 55 Mile Helicopter Flight for Two is tailor-made for the latter. Zooming through the skies at over 120mph, they’ll experience the UK from a brand-new perspective - one that doesn’t involve motorway traffic or delayed trains.
It’s perfect for thrill-seekers, first-time flyers, and anyone who’s ever looked out the car window and thought, “This would be better from above.”
Afternoon Tea That’s Anything But Ordinary
Some gifts whisper comfort. Others serve it on a tiered tray with jam and cream. A Deluxe Afternoon Tea for Two is more than a posh brew and a few finger sandwiches - it’s the excuse every couple needs to stop, sit, and eat cake in peace. Whether they opt for a riverside setting, a five-star hotel, or something with a twist, it’s two hours of calm, sugar, and charming small talk.
And for the couple who likes their gifts with a touch of bold, there’s the Japanese Afternoon Tea at Sanctum Soho Hotel - where East meets West in style, served up with rock ‘n’ roll glamour and a glass of Prosecco in London’s buzziest postcode.
The Joy of Doing Something Unexpected
Not everyone wants quiet elegance. Some want to laugh, sip, and smudge paint on their partner’s nose. Enter the Sip and Paint Experience for Two - an evening of guided creativity, drinks in hand, and masterpieces in progress (results may vary). It’s the gift that says “let’s try something new” - without needing Lycra or a helmet.
Steam Trains & Scones: Old-Fashioned Romance
The Steam Train and Afternoon Tea is all rolling hills, vintage carriages and the hypnotic rhythm of slow travel. It’s perfect for couples who appreciate a little nostalgia—or who just want to escape the pace of modern life. Combine it with a traditional tea that can be enjoyed on a separate occasion and you’ve got a gift that’s both thoughtful and timeless.
Let the Dog Join the Festivities
Couples with pets know the guilt of leaving them behind. But with Dog Friendly Stays, the whole pack can be part of the getaway. Quaint hotels, scenic walks, pubs with fires and biscuits under the bar - it’s the gift that says “you’re a family,” and that includes the one who barks when the post arrives.
Still Stuck? Split and Conquer
For couples who are impossible to please as a pair, go solo: explore Gifts for Him and Gifts for Her, then come together with something from the Christmas Gifts collection. Whether it’s action, relaxation or a romantic escape, there's an experience to suit every kind of couple - from the hopelessly smitten to the hilariously competitive.
The Final Word on Gifting for Two
The most powerful Christmas gift for couples is one that gives them the chance to laugh, connect, explore and experience something new - together. That’s the sort of present that lasts long after the tree comes down.
