The best couple experience gifts for 2024
1. Couples’ Spa Retreat
A couples’ spa retreat offers the perfect opportunity to unwind and reconnect.
Relaxing massages, soothing treatments, and a serene environment can help both partners de-stress and enjoy quality time together.
Consider individual preferences for treatments and any allergies or sensitivities to spa products. This gift is ideal for couples in need of relaxation and intimacy.
You can make or buy a spa voucher, Etsy has loads of print-at-home and ready made options.
Budget Spa Option
You can just book a spa visit and no treatments, this can be huge budget saver.
Or create a at home spa kit for the couple. This way they can have a few spa date nights at home.
You can get spa kits pre made on places like Etsy if you don’t want to create your own. How cute and luxurious does the one above look?
2. Art Class for Two
Taking an art class together is a creative way to bond and learn something new.
Exploring your artistic sides can lead to laughter, shared memories, and even unexpected talents.
Ensure the chosen art form suits both partners’ interests and comfort levels. This gift is excellent for couples who enjoy hands-on experiences and artistic expression.
Budget art class gift ideas
Again you can buy or create your own date night at home art class. Buy their favourite tipple, some easels and paints, and then an image for them to recreate.
If newly married one of their wedding photos would be a lovely idea.
Like the one in the image above Etsy has some really high quality pre-made art box ideas, a cheaper option than a class but just a lovely.
3. Outdoor Adventure
Engaging in outdoor activities like hiking, rock climbing, or kayaking can foster a sense of teamwork and adventure.
These experiences provide an opportunity to challenge yourselves, conquer fears, and create lasting memories.
Take into account physical fitness levels and choose activities both partners can enjoy.
This gift is perfect for couples with an adventurous spirit and a love for nature.
Budget options for adventure gifts
Your goal is to get them out and about with the gift. If one of the above activities are not in your price range then think up some options that will still encourage or support them getting outdoors.
Equipment needed for their favourite outdoor activity can be a good option. The clothing they need or like to wear, I swear my daughter has more horse riding clothes than actual clothes!
But you can also buy adventure cards like the ones above, or make your own. Make or buy adventure books for them to either keep memories or you can get ones that encourage adventure activities.
4. Concert or Theater Tickets
Attending a live concert or theatre performance is a fantastic way to enjoy culture and entertainment together.
Sharing the excitement of a live show can lead to shared emotions and a memorable night out.
Consider musical tastes and preferences when selecting the event. This gift is perfect for couples who appreciate the arts and live performances.
Budget Options for theatre lovers
Theatre tickets are a lot right now! If they are always heading to shows you could buy them a voucher to help with costs.
My brother always does a nice box of treats with an Amazon card to use on a Prime movie, you could put something similar together and buy a theatre DVD or similar.
5. Stargazing Night

Whether it’s in your backyard or a remote location, gazing at the stars can inspire deep conversations and romantic moments.
Check the weather and choose a clear night for the best experience. This gift is well-suited for couples who enjoy quiet, contemplative moments and celestial beauty.
Cost saving ideas
A cozy blanket is really all you need!
But to make it a cute gift you can make a nice basket with hot water bottles to keep warm, blankets and pillows, treats to snack on, and a flask for hot drinks. I would add a note or voucher to say that is a star gazing adventure.
A telescope is a must if they don’t have one, there are some stunning personalized ones on Etsy.

These are such a lovely gift if you have the budget. If not have a look locally as we have done at home boxes before where we picked it all up from restaurant.
You could create your own menu and items for them, or a shopping list and money.
A lovely idea would be for them to recreate their wedding menu if married. You could speak to the caterers about a menu and items needed or even recipe.
