1. For the busy couple who like to cook together: Home Chef
Whether they work long hours or are always on the go between running errands and shuttling the kids to soccer practice, your couple friends have zero time to breathe, let alone cook a homemade meal each night. Enter Home Chef, our favorite meal kit service of 2021. They'll get super fresh ingredients and well-written recipes that are easy to follow every week.
Shop Home Chef starting at $6.99/meal
2. For the techie couple: Amazon Echo Show
Smart assistants are still as popular as ever, but some seriously take up too much counter space. The Echo Show 5 provides a compact design with the bonus of a screen. It's basically a smaller version of the full Show and the next level up from the Dot. The small screen makes it easy to see timers, get news updates, and make video calls, so you can chat "face-to-face" with your giftee.
Get the Amazon Echo Show 5 from Amazon for $84.99
3. For the plant parents: The Sill
If the couple has a green thumb (or wants to get started gardening), this is the gift for them. While you could give them a single pot, a subscription to The Sill will help them enjoy their greenery year-round. One of our editors tried the popular plant delivery service and says not only did her plant of choice arrive in great condition, but it's still happily thriving.
Get live plants from The Sill starting at $18
4. For the true crime junkies: Hunt A Killer
You can spice up monthly date nights with the help of Hunt A Killer, an interactive murder mystery subscription box. We tested out Hunt A Killer ourselves and quickly became obsessed with solving the (fictional) cold case murder. Each month, you’ll get a collection of evidence to sort through, as well as an objective, and as the “season” progresses, you’ll be able to put together the clues, unraveling what happened and bringing a killer to justice. It’s a great couple’s activity and sure to be a hit.
Get six episodes of Hunt A Killer for $165
5. For the couple who prefer Friday nights in: Gravity Weighted Blanket
One of the hottest gifts of 2021, weighted blankets are certainly having a moment. If your couple friends like to spend their free time snuggling on the couch (or even better, sleeping), they'll love the Gravity Blanket. It's our top weighted blanket because it provides just the right amount of pressure and is super soft and plush to the touch.
Get the Gravity Blanket from Gravity for $215
6. For the couple who are homeowners: iRobot Roomba
Home might be where the heart is, but it's also where the clean floors are (or should be). People love robot vacuums because they do your cleaning for you and make life a lot easier—which we could all use this year especially. Our experts put some of the most popular ones to the test and found the Roomba j7+ to be the best thanks to its self-emptying dock along with its smart mapping technology.
Get the iRobot Roomba j7+ Robot Vacuum from Amazon for $699.99
7. For the coffee-obsessed couple: Technivorm Moccamaster
Neither of them can operate without their morning cup of joe—and they won't have to ever again if you gift them the Moccamaster. Not only will it look sleek and stylish sitting on their counter, but it's also the best drip coffee maker out there, brewing the most flavorful and full-bodied pot of coffee among all the coffee makers we tested (and at a fast speed that's ideal for busy mornings!).
Get the Technivorm Moccamaster KB from Amazon for $319
8. For the couple who spend their weekends at wine tastings: Firstleaf
Red or white, sweet or dry, boxed or bottled... When it comes to wine, your couple friends may love to try new bottles. Indulge their love of vino with Firstleaf, a service that will deliver a curated box of wine to their doorstep each month. Our kitchen and cooking editor tried it out (she gifted it to her mom) and says it was one of the most successful gifts she's ever given.
Get Firstleaf starting at $40/month
9. For the couple who loves to relax: Parachute Bathrobe
You might not be able to give your friends a five-star spa experience, but you can give them the next best thing: a matching pair of everyone's favorite bath robes. Made of Turkish cotton, the robes have high ratings and reviewers say that they're incredibly plush (one person compared it to being wrapped in a cloud) and soft yet lightweight.
Get the Classic Bathrobe from Parachute for $99
10. For the couple who make the best playlists: JBL Flip 5 Speaker
They've spent hours curating the perfect Spotify playlists—now this couple just needs a good way to listen to them. Here at Reviewed, we recommend the JBL Flip 5 if they want amazing sound quality and portable convenience. We chose it as the best value Bluetooth speaker out there thanks to the above reasons along with the fact its decently waterproof and has an impressively long battery life.
Get the JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth Speaker from Amazon for $129.95
11. For the foodies: Anything from Harry & David
What’s better than a present you can eat? Whether this couple prefers fruit or chocolate or assorted cheeses, you can find nearly every type of edible goody from Harry & David. We tried Harry & David and found that its gift baskets were chock-full of delicious foods that would make any person smile. We were partial to the Moose Munch and chocolate-covered pretzels, but if they love fresh fruit, you can’t get better than the classic Harry & David pears.

12. For the super sentimental couple: Minted Photo Art
This couple is a sucker for anything sentimental, so skip the gift cards and make them a custom photo collage instead. At Minted, you can create one of their signature Heart Snapshot Mix designs using all your favorite pictures of the couple. Reviewers love how beautiful the finished product looks and how unique and special of a gift it is. Trust us, they'll treasure it for years to come.

It has a vast library of entirely family-friendly entertainment, including animated Walt Disney classics, Pixar films, Star Wars, and Marvel movies.
Give a subscription to Disney+ for $7.99/month
14. For the couple who never spend a night apart: Tuft & Needle
Everyone who's ever spent the night with an S.O. knows the value of a good mattress—so it makes for a very appreciated gift. After testing some of the most popular mattresses, Tuft & Needle earned our top spot for striking the perfect balance of comfort and price. With two layers of foam, our tester found that the mattress mitigates movement well and had a good experience sleeping on it night after night.

While you can’t fix either of those things, you can help them get a better night’s sleep by upgrading their bed sheets. We recommend this set because they're super soft (they're made with 100 percent cotton) and both wrinkle- and stain-resistant.
Get the Luxe Core Sheet Set from Brooklinen for $175
18. For the Netflix and chill couple: Roku Ultra

Get the Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic from Amazon for $209.95
