When you've lived together for a long time, it can be difficult to find unique and original gift ideas... and even end up becoming a real headache!
Not surprising: when you don't change the way you approach the subject, you don't come up with new ideas. So for this upcoming year, we invite you to think differently: instead of thinking in “you”, think in “us”!
To find the unique personalised gift that will touch your partner's heart. Here are some questions that you can ask yourself.
- What would your relationship need the most right now?
- What could be improved?
- What are your desires?
Here we'll give you some tips on how to get started in this article.
Couple's gift ideas: rekindle passion
Desire and passion tend to wane over time. And that's normal! The habits and familiarity that made us feel secure at the beginning end up dulling the excitement. If we don't maintain it, the flame seems to fade. But there is no fatality!
If you are in this case, we suggest giving yourself a gift to rekindle the flame and desire. This involves spending quality time together, taking the time to reconnect with new things, play, and share pleasure.
Some original gift ideas:
- A romantic spa day
- A night at a hotel or in a more unusual place (sleeping in a bubble under the stars, treehouse, etc.)
- An indoor picnic

Unique gift ideas: thirst for adventure and novelty
It's not easy to get away from the daily grind when we've lived together for years and our discussions revolve around organising the next weekend, cleaning, and bills!
If you have let routine settle into your relationship, you need to spice up your daily life. It's time to cultivate spontaneity, surprise yourself, and try new experiences!
Some gift ideas:
- A trip to an exotic place,
- An emotional adventure to experience together (bungee jumping, parachuting, paragliding, or a hot air balloon ride, etc.)
- A couple photo session
- A gift to set a goal together: outfits to train to run a marathon together, membership in an association that is close to your heart...

Unique personalised gift ideas: need to communicate
Lately, you have had difficulty communicating. You have the impression that certain unsaid subjects or subjects would benefit from being addressed calmly. Or quite simply, you have the impression that it has been a long time since you met face to face to discuss subjects deeper than those of everyday life….
If this is your case, you need to sit down together to get your heads off the handlebars and reconnect with each other. Even if communication is awkward, it is always better to communicate than to flee the conflict, at the risk of seeing your relationship damaged. Taking the initiative to have in-depth discussions is necessary for your long-term development. So it’s a great gift to give to your couple!
Some gift ideas:
- A weekend in nature, without a cell phone
- A couples coaching session
- A candlelit dinner in a good restaurant
Gift ideas: recharge your batteries
Work, children, new projects, busy daily life…. You feel a little overwhelmed by events. You can no longer get your head above water and you feel exhausted!
If this is your case, it's a sign that you need to take some time together, to rest, pamper yourself, and gently relieve the pressure...
Some ideas:
- A yoga/meditation retreat for two
- A meditation app to use together
- A floatation in sensory isolation
Couple's gift ideas: want a little lightness
When we live together every day, we sometimes forget one essential thing: laughing together!
Maintaining lightness and laughter is essential to maintaining a life as a couple in which you feel close and complicit. This can notably involve reconnecting with your partner on a creative and artistic level. Art is another form of communication that will bring you closer together!
Some gift ideas:
- Tickets for a comedy show
- A laughter yoga session
- A “revival” day or weekend: return to a place that reminds you of strong moments, marked by complicity and lightness in your relationship
- A pottery, painting or singing class together!
Invest in your relationship
Draw from the ideas above, and find others…. Be creative, your imagination is your only limit! Consider making mixes according to your needs.
For example, if you need adventure and communication: organise a hot air balloon ride during a cell-free weekend, in nature, ... with a romantic picnic. The key is the intention you put into this gift.
Giving such a personalised unique gift to your couple means taking care of yourself, your partner, and what you are building together. Make this special occasion one to remember!
