For couples who already own the usual suspects — gift cards, dishware, and yet another candle — Mayfairsilk's new guide offers a different approach. The resource highlights unconventional alternatives, including luxury everyday items, custom-made gifts, and experiences that are frequently overlooked when shopping for long-term couples.

According to a study by GiftAFeeling, individuals spend an average of $71 on unwanted gifts, with more than $9.5 billion wasted annually on presents that go unappreciated. Mayfairsilk notes that long-time couples are particularly likely to fall into this category, as they tend to already own most of the items that commonly appear on gift lists.
"Most couples who have been together for a while have stocked their homes with the basics and politely accepted variations of the same candles, kitchenware, and bottles of wine. The trick is gifting something they would not buy for themselves but will reach for again and again," said a Mayfairsilk spokesperson.
The guide's first category covers luxury items with practical, everyday value. Among the examples highlighted are high-quality pillowcases, bed sheets, and clothing made from pure mulberry silk — a fabric that is hypoallergenic, thermoregulating, and gentle on the skin, making it suitable year-round. For a more personal touch, the guide also suggests commissioning a song or poem from a professional musician or poet — a one-of-a-kind gift that can be tailored to a couple's shared history or inside references.
For those who favor experiential gifts, the guide recommends a "mystery experience" day tailored to the couple's interests. Ideas range from private cooking masterclasses and food tours for culinary pairs to bungee jumping and escape rooms for thrill-seekers, with hot air balloon rides offered as a more romantic option. These can also be packaged as themed subscriptions for ongoing enjoyment.
The guide also highlights Wi-Fi-enabled digital photo frames as a low-maintenance but thoughtful option. Most models support remote uploading, allowing family members to add new images from anywhere in the world.
