Gifts for a Couple

Stacked layers of premium fruit, artisan cheese, smoked meats, and chocolates.

The tilt-head mixer that sits on the counter for thirty years. Still the wedding gift to beat.

One button, a real crema, five cup sizes. The small Nespresso for a counter with no room.

199 questions couples never get around to asking. The card game from the viral videos, in a box.

The Bose speaker that goes to the beach and the shower. Waterproof, floats, and sounds like Bose.

A smokeless fire pit the size of a flowerpot. Runs on pellets or twigs, sits on a patio table, roasts a marshmallow.

Sous vide for a steak that is exactly right every time. The small Anova that clips to any pot.

The digital frame grandparents actually use. The family sends photos from their phones and they just appear.

The pressure cooker that became a verb. Rice, beans, a whole chicken, yogurt, all in one pot with a lid that locks.

The game every Switch household plays together. Four players on one couch, still the best party game Nintendo makes.

Two teams, one-word clues, twenty-five words on the table. The party game that works with grandparents and gamers at once.

The beautiful board game about birds that won every award. Calm, strategic, and the one non-gamers ask to play again.

Build train routes across America, block your family, win by one point. The board game that starts people on board games.

The home espresso machine with the grinder built in. The one that actually replaces the coffee shop.

A pillow inside a pillow. The one that fixed the flat-pillow problem for people who did not know they had it.

The wool camp blanket with the stripes, woven in Oregon. The blanket that becomes the one on the couch for thirty years.

The rice cooker that cooks perfect rice and sings when it is done. The Zojirushi that families keep for twenty years.
