Some couples already have the mug set and the matching pyjamas. What they don't have is a story to tell each other next Christmas. If you're after Christmas gifts for couples this year, an experience does something a candle can't: it gives them something to look forward to together, then something to talk about long after the wrapping paper is gone. RedBalloon Christmas gift ideas for couples cover the full range, from wine tasting and winery tours and high tea to romantic getaways and spa days for two. Whether you're buying for newlyweds, your parents, or the couple who insist they don't want anything, there's a Christmas present idea for couples below that fits. Filter by price or browse our wine and dine picks, or keep scrolling for a few Christmas gift suggestions for couples we're backing this year. Gift a story you can’t wait to hear.
That's the idea behind Christmas experience gifts for couples: instead of two things that get used once and put away, a couple gets one shared plan, a date in the diary, and a story that's still worth telling in March. Skip the usual couples gifts this year and give them something they'll actually bring up again.
A few of our best-selling experiences for couples this Christmas, available to book right now:
Still not sure what to pick? Let them choose instead with a RedBalloon gift voucher. Vouchers are valid for 5 years, so there's no rush.
If you've already been given one of our vouchers, redeem it by entering your voucher code at checkout or visiting our use a voucher page. It's also worth checking our Christmas deals page before you book, in case there's a saving to be had.
Skip anything else that needs a shelf. An experience works well here because it isn't another object to find room for. Alba Thermal Springs & Spa Bathing & 2 Course Dining - For 2 is a good option: a few hours in the thermal pools on the Mornington Peninsula, then a two course meal to round it off.
If they've already done dinner and a movie, The Q Train Private Dining Experience - First Class - For 2 is a genuinely different night out: a first class dining carriage on a private train, set up as its own experience rather than a regular restaurant booking.
Look for something relaxed rather than rushed. A Multi Course Winery Lunch with Wine - For 2 in the Yarra Valley gives a couple the afternoon to sit, eat well, and take in the view without a schedule to keep to.
Something that marks the occasion works well. Melbourne Skydeck Cocktails in the Clouds puts a couple above the city with a drink in hand, a good way to mark a first Christmas together.
For a couple who'd rather be doing something, a Helicopter Flight over Victoria's Southern Coastline - For 2 gets them in the air with sweeping coastal views, no experience needed.
There's no strict deadline. RedBalloon gift vouchers deliver by email instantly, so you can buy right up to Christmas Eve and still have something to give on the day. The couple then books their date whenever suits them.
No. Every RedBalloon voucher is valid for 5 years from the date of purchase, so a couple can take their time deciding what to book.
