5 Great Gift Ideas for Couples Who Have Everything

Finding Christmas gifts for couples who seem to have everything can be quite the challenge. After all, what do you get for the duo that already owns all the gadgets, home decor, and holiday knick-knacks? Instead of going down the well-trodden path of traditional presents, why not give them the gift of an experience this Christmas? Experience days for two are thoughtful, memorable, and much more fun than another pair of matching socks or a bottle of wine.

At ClassBento, we specialise in offering creative and hands-on workshops that make the perfect presents for couples. Whether they’re into crafting, cooking, or learning a new skill, these shared activities create lasting memories that go far beyond material gifts. 

Plus, studies have shown that people prefer to receive gifts they’ve asked for, rather than what the buyer thinks they’d like – but if your favourite duo hasn't given you any help, don’t panic! We’re here with a huge range of couple’s experiences that will suit them down to the ground – and if all else fails, you can always opt for one of our gift cards and let them decide! 

Let’s take a look at five steps to finding the best gift ideas for couples who have everything and some fantastic workshop ideas that will make this Christmas truly special.

Think outside the box with creative couples experiences

When searching for gift ideas for couples who have everything, you need to think beyond the ordinary. Consider what they enjoys doing together or what new experiences they might love to try. The key is to offer something unique, fun, and memorable — and this is where creative workshops come in!

At ClassBento, we offer a range of engaging classes, from pottery and painting to cocktail making and cooking. These experience days for two are a great way to help couples spend quality time together, learn something new, and create lasting memories. Plus, there’s nothing like a shared experience to deepen the bond between loved ones – or to create a little healthy competition!

Pottery classes: Get hands-on with creativity

If the couple you're buying for enjoys getting their hands dirty (in the most creative sense!), a pottery class could be one of the best presents for couples this Christmas. Pottery classes are a fantastic way for pairs to work together, get creative, and take home something they’ve crafted with their own hands, and they're perfect for beginners! Whether they’re complete novices or already familiar with working with clay, pottery workshops offer a fun and relaxing way to spend time together.

In a couples pottery class, they'll learn the art of moulding and shaping clay into beautiful bowls, vases, or other decorative items. This hands-on experience is not only satisfying but also incredibly therapeutic, and it gives couples the chance to escape their busy schedules, focus on the moment, and enjoy the simple joy of creating something unique. Plus, they’ll leave the workshop with handmade pieces they can proudly display at home — a lasting reminder of a great day spent together.

We asked pottery teacher Raymond from Blanc Ceramic what he thinks makes a good experience gift, and he told us:

A successful experience gift is one that brings people together, sparks creativity, and leaves a lasting impression; it should make the person feel like they’ve learned something or created something meaningful. At Blanc Ceramic, I always aim to offer experiences where participants leave with a piece they are proud of and that they can use in their daily life, like a hand-crafted mug or vase. It’s about creating something that has both personal and practical value.

Couples painting classes: Art with a twist

For couples who love expressing themselves through art, a painting class for two makes for a fantastic gift. Whether they’re skilled artists or complete novices, painting workshops are a great way for couples to tap into their creative sides and enjoy some time away from the usual hustle and bustle of daily life.

ClassBento’s painting classes are perfect gifts for couples who have everything because they offer an experience that’s both relaxing and stimulating. With the guidance of a professional artist, couples can create their own masterpiece while sipping on their favourite drink (if the class allows for it!). These classes often encourage a fun and social atmosphere, making it an ideal way for couples to unwind together. Plus, they’ll walk away with a beautiful artwork that they created as a team — a unique keepsake to remember the day.

Craft classes: Personalised creations made with love

If you’re looking for something a bit more hands-on, a craft workshop might be just the ticket. Craft classes offer couples the chance to make personalised items, whether it's jewellery, candles, or even hand-stitched projects. These classes provide a sense of accomplishment as couples get to walk away with a handmade item that they can treasure forever.

Your favourite pair can bond over the creative process and make something truly personal, from beautifully scented candles at a couples candle making class or custom designed jewellery to hand painted plates or dried flower wreaths. Or why not send them off to a Christmas decoration making class, where they can learn how to make beautifully natural ornaments for the tree? Beats yet more tinsel! These workshops are a fantastic way to learn new skills and create a lasting memory, while also having a great time together, so if you're looking for a truly unique and thoughtful present, a craft class could be one of the best gifts for couples who have everything this holiday season.

Larkswold Creative Workshops are a one-stop-shop for all your holiday crafting needs, and we caught up with owner Melinda to find out which of their workshops she thought would suit a perfect pair:

For couples, we think scented candle making, willow sculpture and leather belt making are perfect workshop options with lots of choices, so creations can be entirely unique - we often find couples introduce a healthy dose of competition as well which can be very amusing for the tutors!

Cooking classes: A culinary delight for food-loving couples

For couples who enjoy spending time in the kitchen, a cooking class is a perfect gift that brings fun and flavour to the holiday season! Whether they’re seasoned cooks or just starting out, cooking classes offer a deliciously interactive experience that teaches new culinary skills while giving couples the chance to bond over their shared love of food. Plus, they get the all-important taste test at the end!

We've got a huge range of cooking workshops, from pasta-making and sushi rolling to baking and international cuisine, where couples will learn from expert chefs, master new techniques, and prepare delicious dishes they can recreate at home. Alternatively, keep it festive and opt for a cosy Christmas baking class, letting them master the art of perfect mince pies, stollen and gingerbread – teamed with a few tipples and some Christmas tunes, it's the perfect way to help them celebrate the season! Cooking together is not only fun but also a wonderful way to strengthen a relationship, making this one of the most thoughtful experience days for two.

Cocktail making classes: Shake things up!

Want to give the couple a gift that’s sure to add some sparkle to their holiday season? A cocktail-making masterclass is a fun and interactive experience that’s perfect for couples who love to entertain or simply enjoy great tasting refreshments. In a cocktail-making class, couples will learn how to mix and shake their own signature cocktails, all while enjoying the process of experimenting with different flavours and ingredients.

These classes offer a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere where couples can get creative behind the bar, learn new techniques, and of course, sample their own delicious creations. Not only will they leave with some impressive mixology skills, but they’ll also have a great time doing it. It’s a fun and memorable gift idea that’s sure to shake up their usual holiday traditions!
