Finding unique gifts for couples can be quite testing as it is always easy to gift an individual something as per his liking.

"Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!" ~ Hamilton Wright Mabie.
'Intoxicating' is the word that comes to mind as one feels the exhilarating vibrations of the approaching Christmas season and the love and sharing that prevails in the world at this point of the year. Truly nothing can surpass the feeling of sheer euphoria on seeing the smile that appears on someone's face on receiving a present of love.
However, finding a gift that is equally meaningful to not one but two people can sometimes be quite dicey. Fret not, as here, are a few classy and unparalleled Christmas gifts for couples, potent enough to leave lifelong impressions of love in the heart.
'You Fit Together' Mugs ~ Well, complementary cups with their contours fitting into each other to form a singular body, are easily available.
However, here's what you can do to personalize it for your parents or grandparents; You can draw a scene with you in your young avatar standing in between your parents, holding their hands. Remember to retain that childlike crudeness in the drawing with the color not keeping within the lines, as if it was made by you when you were five years old.
Now, get the picture embossed on the cups in a manner that it is a complete picture only when the two are placed together. Include a message with the drawing saying "I shall always remain your little .....(your name)".
Preferably use your pet name. Also, while you make the drawing, make arrows and indicate 'Mama', 'Papa', and 'Me' or 'Little Shania'. Your parents will love it, as it will return their little child's memory to them, who belonged to only them and nobody else at one point in time.
'You Fill Up My Senses' Collage ~ This can be made for anybody actually.
