Couple gift ideas that are not flowers
Flowers are lovely and last a week. A better gift for a couple is something that goes on the wall and says something about them. Here are love stories from the shelf, and what to write.
A line they will know
Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of is the line Catherine says about Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights: "Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." It is wild rather than sweet, and it works for the couple that is a little odd and does not mind.
A scene for the pair
Let Me In is Wuthering Heights too, the ghost at the window, and is for the gothic romantic.
For a couple who started with a book, I Am No Bird is Jane Eyre's most famous line, about being free to choose.
By occasion
- A wedding or engagement: a framed print, as a gift for the pair.
- A first Christmas together: an unframed A4 and a card with the year.
- A first anniversary (paper): a print is paper, and a framed one will be there for the second.

Questions
- What is a good gift for a couple?
- Something for the wall that says something about them, like a framed print of a love scene from a book they both know.
- What is the paper anniversary gift?
- The first wedding anniversary is the paper anniversary, so a print or a book is the traditional gift.
