Gift cards for couples

Think about it. One half of the couple might fancy a city break, the other half a night out at the theatre or cinema or maybe just a cosy night in with a decent takeaway and some tele. A choice gift card like the All in One Choice Gift Card lets them pick what they want for over 350 top brands across every category from travel, to experiences, food and drink and more. It takes the guesswork out of deciding on a gift, and it lets them plan something that won;t leave one half of the couple disappointed.

There’s another advantage to giving gift cards. Most physical presents are mainly used by one person, while a good gift card gets used by both. It could get them sitting around the same table, on the same train, or in the same row of seats at a live event. A gift card allows a couple to create a sense of occasion and make memories together.

The types of gift cards that work best for couples are the shared ones, like experience gift cards that can be put towards days out, tastings, and fun activities. Dining out gift cards are a safe bet for couples who like to talk over a good meal. And travel & holiday gift cards suit couples who are always planning their next weekend away. If they have children and a night out depends on getting a babysitter, consider one of our gift cards for kids that can help with keeping the little ones happy.

Here’s a quick rundown of the best gift card ideas for couples, covering a range of categories to suit different types of interests.

For couples who like a change of scenery, the Hotels & Restaurants Gift Card covers hotel bookings, three-course dinners, or a Sunday lunch somewhere new. They can use it to make a booking for sometime in the future or use it immediately to celebrate their anniversary.

Christmas is when couples get to spend the most time together, but it can also be the time of the year when the diary fills up with social events. A gift card gives them something to do other than all of the visits to friends and family. Whether that’s a traditional pub lunch between Christmas and New Year, or a live show booked in for sometime in the new year. Christmas gift cards for couples can be combined with another Christmas gift and even put into a little gift envelope that can be turned into a decoration for the Christmas tree.

They are also the calmest last-minute Christmas gift. E-gift cards are sent by email straight away, so even a present sorted on Christmas Eve is ready in time. Prefer something to wrap? Many of our gift cards are available as a physical gift card that can be wrapped up or put in a presentation box that looks good under the tree.

If you're not sure about buying a gift card for a specific brand, the All in One Choice Gift Card offers the most flexibility and is always a safe bet. For more festive ideas, browse our full collection of Christmas gift cards.
