As the saying goes, sharing is caring, which rings true for gifts a couple can enjoy together. Joint gifting can also make buying for difficult-to-shop-for couples less stressful. If you know one person in the couple better but don't want to leave anyone out, spending a little more on one gift they can both appreciate rather than trying to find two individual gifts is a win-win for everyone.

From practical gifts, like a robot vacuum, to gifts that are purely for joy, like a cozy blanket, here are the perfect presents for the couples you love.

For newlyweds, new homeowners or a couple who just finished a big renovation, these bespoke sketches from Etsy are the perfect way to celebrate a home. And unlike other watercolor styles you can buy, these classic black-and-white illustrations will work with whatever decor style the couple loves.

$69.99

If you know a house divided between team coffee and team tea, this top-rated electric kettle is the great unifier as it features specific temperature settings for coffee, black tea, green tea and more.

From $25

A Milk Bar gift card is the gift that keeps on giving. You can't go wrong with these goodies, from the classic gooey pie to seasonal cakes and truffles, and there are gluten-free options, too.

$56

An ice cream maker is one of those appliances you probably don't list on a registry, but once you have one you realize how usesful it is. This compact machine from Cuisinart can do sorbets and frozen yogurt, too. And for the health buffs, you can even turn frozen bananas into ice cream.

$98

For the road trippers, avid hikers and couples who are always getting into something, this nifty fold-out car organizer is a godsend to keep gear and accessories contained and easily within reach.

$317.62

For the entertainers, hobby mixologists or couples who got really invested in #WaterTok, this countertop ice machine makes the perfect crunchy nugget ice.

$199.99

For the tech-obsessed couple, new parents or just people you love who need a good night's sleep, the Hatch Restore alarm clock is more than a gift. It's a godsend that will finally get you to break up with your phone on your nightstand. Gift one for them, and keep one for you!

These custom key ornaments are another great way to celebrate a new home. And if you'd rather not gift a holiday ornament, it could easily be used as a gift-wrapping charm or turn it into a keychain!

From $29

For the foodies or the couple who just loves to try new things, an online cooking class from Sur La Table is a great gift for under $30. And there are tons of courses, from Italian dinners to French pastries.

$64.99

Bokksu is one of our favorite LGBTQ+ brands to shop and there are so many food boxes that would make a fun date night for couples, from a rainbow ramen noodle set to this classic Japanese snack box.

$27.26

For the music buffs, this DIY music box is a fun activity that becomes a personalized souvenir. You could gift the box unopened for the couple to create a song together or if you know a song that's significant to them, make the song yourself and then wrap it with sheet music.

$538.99

For the couple who spends every minute possible in the backyard, this Anker projector lasts more than three hours for the ultimate movie nights. It's also a great gift for Halloween fans as you can use the projector to display movies on indoor and outdoor walls.

Or add this chic, modern outdoor screen from Pottery Barn for a whole experience and a showstopper gift. It's perfect for game days, movie nights, family vacation slideshows and more.

$24.78

Chefs around the world love this crunchy sea salt and you can score a tub of it on Amazon for under $30! It makes the perfect housewarming present or holiday gift for couples who love to cook.

$8.88

If you know the couple you're shopping for loves to shop local, a gift card to use at their neighborhood farmer's market is a thoughtful gesture. And this set of reusable produce bags is a great way to round out the gift and have something to wrap.

From $25

Another great housewarming present is a house plant! It's way more sustainable than a cut flower bouquet and plants such as the Snake Plant improve a home's air quality. We love The Sill because they have a collection of pet-safe plants and the selection of pots and planters can't be beat. Gift cards start at $25.

If there's something more classic than matching monogram mugs, we haven't found it yet. It's perfect for a housewarming party, wedding shower, the holidays or anytime you need a go-to gift for couples.

Make one of their personal milestones feel a little more monumental with this decorative date print. The graphic black-and-white design will stand out on their walls, and remind them of everything they've built together. The print comes in a variety of sizes and frames, too.

$109

For the couple who loves their rescue pup almost as much as they love each other, try this doggy DNA kit. The Embark test uses a simple cheek swab to screen for over 350 breeds and varieties, so they can learn more about their furbaby. And best of all? They'll receive the results in just three to five weeks.

And any doting pet parents would love a custom portrait. Like a traditional royal portrait. Yes, really. These incredible custom portraits take a photo of a dog, cat or other pet and turn it into an Old World oil painting. If you're on a budget, you can order a digital-only gift which is perfect if you know the couple has an Instagram account for their pet.

Pickleball is growing in popularity, and, like tennis, it's a game couples of all ages can play and continue to play through the years. You can play with two or four players, so it's a great activity the couple can do together as a one-on-one date or with friends or family. Recess is a direct-to-consumer brand serving up chic pickleball equipment featuring fun graphic patterns and colors that make our design-loving hearts happy. Start them off with this set that includes two pickleball paddles, one pickleball and one courtbag, and they can expand their equipment as they inevitably get more and more obsessed with the game.

$14.95 - $54.95

Every couple could use more picture frames. (Especially if they're taking engagement and/or wedding photos in the near future.) Make it easy to display their favorites with a few of these acrylic blocks. The transparent edges will add a modern touch to their home and elevate any corner.

If they're prone to dance parties in the kitchen or enjoy listening to podcasts while they tidy up the house, then they might need a portable Bluetooth speaker. This sleek device from Anker comes highly rated for its battery life and superior sound quality and can be tossed into a bag and taken on the go.

We're pretty sure every engaged or newlywed couple needs this one. Encourage them to preserve special memories from over the years with this stunning anniversary journal. Inside, they'll find guided prompts with spaces for photos and love notes.

$23.14

If they're die-hard movie fans or always binging the latest shows, then they'd probably enjoy this popcorn maker. (No hate on the microwave stuff, but there's just something about those freshly popped kernels.) And did we mention that the built-in measuring cup also doubles as a butter-melting tray?

$36

Doing a puzzle together is a great screen-free activity, and they're sure to bond over this map spread from Rifle Paper Co. It's a great gift for travelers to dream and plan future adventures, too.

$188

This is one of those gifts they'd never think to buy for themselves, but that they'll love and use for years. Send warm wishes as they settle into their together-home by gifting a classic Pendleton blanket. This velvety "Glacier Park" throw is crafted from wool and supports the National Park Foundation.

$349

If they love pizza, this Ooni pizza oven is the perfect splurge-worthy gift. Traditional Neapolitan-style pizza is cooked in wood-burning ovens that can get much hotter than your typical residential oven. The innovative design of Ooni's pizza ovens allows them to get up to 950 degrees Fahrenheit and cooks stone-baked pizzas in just 60 seconds. Plus, customers love that this oven is much more portable and inexpensive than traditional full-sized outdoor pizza ovens.

Excuse us while we swoon over this incredibly sentimental gift idea. Take the couple back to the night they first met (or got engaged) with a set of constellation-etched pint or wine glasses. You can list their names, the date and a short description of the event that took place.

$79.95

For amateur gardeners and couples who enjoy home-cooked meals, a hydroponic herb garden is the perfect gift. No matter the climate they live in, they can grow herbs all year on their kitchen countertop with this easy-to-use kit. The AeroGarden Harvest Indoor Herb Garden also comes in five colors.

$49

Ensure that they both wake up on the right side of the bed with a super comfy weighted blanket. This baby is approximately 12 lbs and will apply a nice, even pressure to their bodies, so they'll fall asleep more easily. And bonus: They can also use it for cuddling.

Turn their cute candids into even cuter magnets for their fridge with these Instax Mini picture sleeves. If you want to upgrade the gift, you could even pair the multicolored-pack with a new box of film for their camera.

What could be more perfect for the engaged couple on your list than a copy of The Newlywed Table? Inside, they'll find 100 recipes for easy weeknight meals, holiday specialties and everything in between, and soon learn how to cook as a unit.

$249.99

If their favorite date nights involve fire pits and s'mores, then spoil them with a Solo Stove Bonfire. Holes around the top and bottom of the steel chamber help fires burn more efficiently (and eliminate most smoke), so they can do more of what they love. It's definitely a hit with our editors.

If they have big plans to visit every national park, then show your support with this custom scratch-off poster. You can list their first names or new surname at the top, and include a couple of wood dowels for easy hanging around the house.

Encourage your favorite foodies to try something new with this sleek fondue set. The kit includes one ceramic pot, four stainless steel forks with oak handles and five tealight candles; all that's missing are the dipping options.

Whether they're really tidy people or the type to bicker about whose turn it is to vacuum, they'll appreciate this efficient robot vacuum that helps cut down on the time they have to spend on chores each week.

$29.95

The outdoorsy couple on your list needs this double hammock. The piece is crafted from comfortable yet durable nylon, and will allow them to chill together for once. Best of all? The hammock is travel-friendly and packs into a tiny pouch, so they can toss it up and go. Another great travel gift: An inflatable double kayak! And this double camp bench from Kelty is both practical and cute. It's like a loveseat for the campfire.

From $129.90

Actual linens are a timeless luxury, and linen napkins or sheets are always a great gift for weddings, showers or the holidays. And linen is expensive, so it's always a much-appreciated gift. But here's a savvy way to score linen for less: Quince is shaking up the textiles world but cutting out the middle man and offering direct-to-consumer prices on materials like linen, silk and cashmere that typically have a very high retailer markup. You can score a classic napkin set for under $30 or a sheet set for under $150!
