4. Quick Romantic Get-Away Trip
Rent a Cabin, Beach House, Cottage, Condo or House
with Vrbo
My girlfriend and I love spontaneous get-away trips and in Florida, the coast is lined with options on both sides of the state.
Very few things help us feel closer than short 2-3 night stays in other cities or beach towns. Traveling together with your partner makes for one of the most memorable top gifts for couples ideas.
Lately, we have just used our Hilton Honors membership to book hotel discounts and deals. We can always count on Hilton’s clean, modern brand of lodgings and friendly service. They haven’t let us down.
Recently, though, I found Vrbo.com and would like to try them too.
Similar to Air BnB, Vrbo gives you nearby options to book privately owned properties and homes.
I was checking out nearby places here in Florida and the prices and reviews looked pretty good.
Sometimes you just need to getaway.
Check it out… you deserve it.
What do you think of this gift idea for couples?
- Peace of Mind Service: book with confidence Vrbo offers 24/7 guest support

5. Meat and Cheese Board
Meat/Cheese Board and Knife Set | by Smirly
My girlfriend and I love our charcuterie board, especially accompanied by a few bottles of wine.
We get a lot of use out of ours. And that’s why I suggest it on my list of top gifts for couples- and it makes for one of the more romantic gift ideas.
It’s a little tough to find a variety of these in stores, finding them online makes it much easier to find the right one for you.
The one thing I don’t like about ours is that it’s too small.
This meat and cheese board by Smirly is much bigger, plus it expands and includes a separate platter for fresh fruits.
So if you just want a romantic stay-at-home date night with your partner or you want to invite friends over, then you have a board that suits bigger parties too.
You can find smaller ones too if you wish to save some money but still get something of high quality.

10. Gel Memory Foam Pillow
Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Pillow with Reversible Cooling Cover | by Weekender
I used to not even lay on a pillow for a while.
Then my girlfriend got me a gel memory foam pillow. Sleep has never been so dreamy.
Soft to the touch, but firm to support your head, and you sweat less due to the ventilation design.
Regular pillows just cannot compare in comfort to a gel memory foam pillow.
Here’s one of those top gifts for couples that you will need two of.
(Although for a while my GF only had hers and I had to steal it a few times ha, ha)

11. Coffee Mug Warmer
Desktop Beverage Warmer
I own a similar model.
And while I haven’t used it lately I love that it keeps my coffee warm and right next to me while I work on my laptop.
This particular model sold very well on my post about last-minute Christmas gifts on another blog of mine.
So, despite the “just ok” reviews and the rather poor (and humorous) English in its description ha, ha, visitors to my site Mad Raven Reviews still chose this model.

12. Microwave Popcorn Popper
The Original Popco Microwave Popcorn Popper
This is the microwave popcorn popper that I bought my parents and they love it. It’s also one of the best selling items from my blog post for last minute Christmas gifts on another of my blogs.
And it’s similar to the models I’ve owned and used for a couple of decades.
The main difference is mine does not have handles so I have to use a towel to grab the sides of the bowl since it gets hot.
If your boyfriend/girlfriend loves to make homemade popcorn as much as I do then microwave popcorn poppers make for some of the most useful top gifts for couples ideas on this list.
What do you think of this gift idea for couples?
4.7 out of 5 Stars | 9,888 Amazon Reviews (at time of writing)
- Food Safe: Food-grade silicone microwave bowl with lid and convenient built-in handles to safely grab it while hot.
- Multiple Color Choice: comes in 10 different colors.
- Easy-to-Clean: clean by hand or in the dishwasher. This is a point my mom brought up that she likes.
- Easy-to-Store: collapses and folds up to save space
- Easy-to-Use: drop in oil (works without adding the oil too), popcorn kernels, and heat up in the microwave. (I find to get the best popping results to heat the oil first for at least 3 minutes, then add kernels and pop for at least 2 minutes 15 seconds (test the times yourself to get your desired results).
- Large Capacity: fits up to 15 cups of popcorn
