One present for two people works when both of them get something out of it, so look for things they will use together rather than a his-and-hers pair that splits down the middle. The quiet days after Christmas are a good guide: a shared treat, an evening activity or something to fill in together.

Why we picked each one

  1. Best overall

    Hattie's Gifts Scottish Afternoon Tea Hamper

    Hattie's Gifts packs Brodies Scottish tea and two kinds of shortbread into a red Merry Christmas box, an afternoon tea for two over the festive break.

    • Brodies tea, House of Edinburgh shortbread and a Walkers Shortbread assortment
    • Hand-packed in a red Merry Christmas gift box
    • No wrapping needed

    Worth knowing: Skip if neither of them drinks tea.

  2. If they love a whodunnit

    Cryptic Killers Unsolved Murder Mystery Game

    Cryptic Killers gives them a police case file to solve together, with physical evidence plus an online police inbox to search, enough for a long evening in.

    • 33 pieces of physical evidence
    • About 3 hours of play
    • Difficulty rating of 4.5/5

    Worth knowing: Skip if they would rather not spend an evening online checking clues.

  3. If they toast every festive night

    DONGSHANGIFT Christmas Gonk Wine Glasses Set 2

    The DONGSHANGIFT set pairs a male and a female Nordic gonk on two stemless glasses, and the listing says they can go in the microwave for warming mulled wine.

    • 2 x 17oz stemless borosilicate glasses
    • Gift box and Christmas card included
    • Microwave and dishwasher safe

    Worth knowing: Skip if they keep Christmas decorations to a minimum.

  4. If they enjoy making things

    INK LAB Hands Casting Kit 3D Mold for Couples

    The INK LAB kit lets them cast their own joined hands in stone, a keepsake they make together rather than just open.

    • 1000g molding powder and 450g alginate powder
    • 3L casting bucket and mounting plaque included
    • Alginate made from seaweed

    Worth knowing: Skip if they have no space for an ornament.
