Gifts for couples

jaycee7389

So, apparently all of our siblings and their SOs are getting us a "couples" gift. I don't really have any idea what that is, but I would like to do the same for them. The trouble is, I am absolutely horrible with Christmas gifts and none of them live together. If anyone is bored I would love you forever if you can come up with some good ideas!!

My sister & her BF--They are college aged but her BF is overseas in the Navy

His sister & her BF--They 23-24

His brother & his GF--They are 21

"I do "date night" packages. Includes gift card for restaurant and gift card for movie store to rent movies, bag of micro popcorn and a box of candy.

Does yous sister and her BF have webcams? If not- that's a great "couples" gift- and super super thoughtful. Or- do they have regular cheapy cameras? When I was writing someone overseas- we would exchance photos and music on a thumb drive and send it back and forth. You could get her lots of stamps. LOL.

Wine is always a nice couple gift. So is a couple's massage. a Groupon gift card? Movie tickets?

Yep :( That's a great idea though!

I could get her nice stationary and stamps to send letters, that's a good idea!

Also- everyone should know about the milikit- <a href="http://faq.usps.com/eCustomer/iq/usps/request.do?create=kb:USPSFAQ&view()=c%5Bc_usps07261%5D&varset(source)=sourceType:embedded">http://faq.usps.com/eCustomer/iq/usps/request.do?create=kb:USPSFAQ&view()=c%5Bc_usps07261%5D&varset(source)=sourceType:embedded</a>

<p>Since Priority Mail service supplies are the packaging of choice for families preparing care packages for service members overseas, the USPS has created a "Mili-kit" based on the items most frequently requested by the military.</p><p>The kit contains:</p><ul><li> Three (3) each of flat rate boxes O-FRB1 and O-FRB2 </li><li> Two (2) each of Cube boxes OBOX7 </li><li> Address labels - Label # 228 8 each </li><li> Address labels - Label # 106-A 1 each </li><li> Customs FORM 2976-A 8 EA. </li><li> Customs FORM 2976-E 8 EA. </li></ul>
<p>The kit may be requested by calling <strong>1-800-610-8734</strong> (Packing Supply) and:</p><ol><li> Choose your language (“1” is English, “2” is Spanish). </li><li> Choose option 1 (it states it is for Express Mail service, Priority Mail or Global Express Guaranteed). </li><li> When you reach a live agent, request “<strong>CAREKIT04</strong>.” </li><li>Please allow 7-10 days for delivery.

I usually look for movie, dinner, or event tickets for couples. Or if possible, something they'd both enjoy. FI and I both love camping, so we put items for that on our Christmas list.

Wine

Or wine and beer

Or wine beer and chocolate

FI and I would like any combination of those.

I agree movie gift certificates are great, and also ones for dinner.  If there is a hobby they both enjoy together like camping that could work too.  How about a netflix subscription?

I think one of the gifts I did was a movie, popcorn bowls (ceramic and personalized) and a popcorn kit with popcorn and toppings.

Oh I like this popcorn date night idea! I wonder if that would be an idea of something to give to BF's parents... I'm going to ask him about this.
