The movie 500 Days of Summer made the concept of "I Love Us" as a couple popular. Later, Hallmark reinforced the idea.
Whether it be for Valentine's Day, birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, or other special occasions in your marriage, a his and her gift for you as a couple can be fun, romantic, or practical. Here are some ideas to get your own creative gift giving juices flowing.

Consider really soft, plushy type robes that have pockets, self-tie belts, and loops to make hanging them on a hook more easy. Getting the robes monogrammed is another recommendation. Stay away from flannel.

These officially licensed PJS feature a selection of romantic cartoons from the legendary magazine The New Yorker. The white cotton t-shirts (hers a slightly fitted ladies' cut) are printed with "THE NEW YORKER" and a cartoon Cupid on the front. The red pants have an all-over print of various love-themed cartoons. The pajamas have drawstring waists and include pockets. Some couple pajama sets are in a soft comfy fabric like silk. Consider having your nicknames for one another embroidered on the pj tops. There are other designs available.

You will not only have fun together, you will create a special memory.
