The list of Christmas presents is getting shorter and shorter (at least we hope that's the case for you!). You've thought of your relatives, mum and dad, bought a book for your girlfriends and a panettone for your colleagues, but now you're missing that special someone you share your life with, or that crush who's so hot you can't stop groping them as soon as you meet their gaze. The best gift is and always will be an experience you can have together, such as a ride, a massage or a hot night with sex toys for couples.
G-Club also suggests other ideas that are perfect for a crush/partnership/situation: from a game that helps you get to know each other better to a LEGO bouquet of flowers.

A couple's game: We're Not Really Strangers
WE'RE NOT REALLY STRANGERS Couple Edition
14$
We're Not Really Strangers is the perfect gift for those who have just started dating and want to get to know each other more deeply, but also for those in a long-term relationship who want to test how much they really know about their partner. It consists of 150 cards with equally significant questions, designed to open up and sincerely reveal oneself. According to its creator, Koreen Odiney, it's more than just a playful break; it aims to represent "a movement capable of empowering connections between people." Are you ready to connect with your crush?
Socks with the crush's face
SOUFEEL Custom Socks
12,95€
For those who want a fun gift, you can opt for customized clothing or accessories, perhaps a pair of socks with the photo of their crush printed on them, or alternatively, their own photo. If you choose the second option, you might get two possible reactions: your crush will either run away or fall in love with your cute madness.
A subscription to MUBI
MUBI Monthly Subscription
11,99€
Do you love spending your dates cuddled on the couch, under a warm blanket, watching a Swedish film in its original language? Okay, then, put an subscription to MUBI under the tree for your loved one. This way, for your special evenings, you'll have a catalog of masterpieces and visionary films at your disposal: from Aftersun with Paul Mescal to Shiva Baby by Emma Seligman, from the iconic The Red Shoes to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind directed by Michel Gondry. Just purchase, unwrap the package, and hit play.

Love Coupons
INKINGLINS PAPERIE Scratch-off Cards
21,24€
Scratch-and-win love coupons are a cute idea for someone who already has everything. These are cards with a section where you can write any message, and then apply a special scratchable sticker. It will be up to the recipient to scratch and discover their hidden prize. Under that silver coating could be anything from a simple "I love you" to "You've won a hug," from "I'll take you to Taylor Swift's concert" to "Let's meet in the kitchen for a romantic dinner." The options are endless, depending on the giver's availability and imagination.
A couple's massage candle
MAUDE burn no. 1
27,95€
A candle. Yes, but special. The Maude candle with jojoba and soy oils is designed to be poured onto the skin once melted and extinguished, transforming into a massage oil. It's the Christmas gift for those who want to give the upcoming holidays a sensual, relaxing, and fragrant twist.
A horseback ride
FREEDOME Horseback riding in the Castelli Romani Park
25€
Another shared gift, capable of satisfying both nature lovers and the most romantic souls who, when thinking of a horseback ride, imagine a scene from Bridgerton or Outlander. Are you already dreaming of being like Kate Sharma and Lord Anthony?
Under 100 euros:
An instant camera
FUJIFILM Instax mini 12
79,90€
Whether you're a new or long-term couple, it's always nice to have shots that capture your moments together or alone. So, finding an instant camera under the tree will make your loved one happy. The advantage is that you just need to press the button, and you'll instantly have a real photo, perhaps to create a personalized memory album. However, be careful not to overdo it and not imitate Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
A couple's vibrator
YSPOT Yvie
55€
During the holidays, sparks shouldn't only shine on the Christmas tree. A couples vibrator like Yvie by Yspot can also ignite them in intimacy, adding a playful and decidedly enjoyable twist to your evenings together. Yvie also comes with a remote control that can be operated up to 10 meters away. The advice? Be careful where you store it if you don't want (or do want) to replicate a famous hot scene from The Ugly Truth.
A FAI couple's card
FAI Couple card
60€
Giving a FAI (Italian Environmental Fund) couple's card also means providing a different and interesting answer to the often asked question, "What are we doing this weekend?" The card will open the door to cultural journeys with exceptional guides, unconventional and off-the-beaten-path itineraries, castles, art galleries, gardens, museums, concerts, and theatrical performances in an Italy waiting to be discovered.
A LEGO flower bouquet
LEGO Flower bouquet
59,99€
"I love you," "I miss you," "Do you want to go out with me?" say it with a LEGO flower bouquet. Roses, dandelions, poppies, stars, daisies that will never wither and will remind the recipient that you love them. The plus? You can have fun assembling them together, filling the long boring afternoons of the holidays.
