Matching Christmas gifts for couples: the his-and-hers pairs idea

Giving a couple matching Christmas gifts is a gesture that always raises a smile: two pairs of slippers or clogs as a duo are useful, a little bit cute and perfect for photos under the tree. Whether you're buying for your parents, friends who've just moved in together or your other half (and yourself, let's be honest), here's how to put together the ideal duo without getting the size or style wrong.

The essentials

The bundle of any 2 pairs costs €59.98 instead of two separate purchases, and each pair has its own size and colour.
Matching doesn't mean identical: the same style in two colours, or two styles in the same shade.
The Sienna clog comes in sizes 36 to 47 and the Bormio in 35 to 45, handy for kitting out both of them.
Our styles are true to size: if you're between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Why matching pairs make such a lovely gift

A gift for two tells a story: evenings on the sofa, Sunday breakfasts, winters spent cosy together. It's also a gift that genuinely gets used. Unlike an ornament, a pair of slippers or clogs is worn every day, and every time they slip them on, your friends will think of you.

And it avoids any jealousy. Giving to just one half of a couple can be tricky; giving to both means nobody is forgotten under the tree.

3 ways to match a duo

1. The identical duo: same style, same colour

The most affectionate. The Sienna clog is ideal for this: available in sizes 36 to 47, it suits a narrow foot as well as a large size. In taupe or black, it's an understated duo that goes with everything. The adjustable metal buckle lets each of them fine-tune the fit, and the padded footbed follows the arch of the foot.

2. The tone-on-tone duo: same style, two colours

The most elegant. Keep the same shape but play with colours that work together: camel and brown, taupe and khaki, black and leopard for whoever likes to be bold. Each keeps their own personality, but the nod to each other is clear. For help, read our guide to choosing the right colour of clogs.

3. The complementary duo: two styles, one shade

The cleverest option when the two have different habits. For example:

For the one who always feels the cold: the lined Bormio clog, our newest style, with a faux-fur lining right up to the collar and a treaded cork-effect sole that lets you pop out for the post. It comes in brown, camel, black, grey, taupe and saffron.
For the other, who prefers something lighter: the Sienna in the same colour, camel or taupe for example.

The result: two different pairs, but a harmonious look on the doormat.

The bundle: the simplest (and most budget-friendly) way to give as a pair

With Build your own bundle, you choose 2 pairs from our styles for €59.98, or 3 pairs for €79.98. Each pair is chosen independently: style, colour and size. It's the ideal option for a couple, and the 3-pair version even lets you add a child or a flatmate.

A few combinations that work well:

The cosy duo: two lined Bormio clogs, one in grey and one in black.
The indoor-outdoor duo: a Bormio for walking the dog, a Sienna for the living room.
The chic duo: two Sienna clogs, one taupe and one khaki.

If you only have eyes for the Sienna, note that the second pair of Sienna is 75% off.

Getting the sizes right for a couple

This is often the worry when buying for two. Our advice:

Note both usual sizes by discreetly checking a pair of trainers in the hallway.
Our styles are true to size: if they're between two sizes, choose the larger one.
Check the available sizes: Sienna from 36 to 47, Bormio from 35 to 45. For very large sizes, the Sienna is the safest bet.
No stress: size exchanges are free and you have 60 days to change your mind.

Rounding off the matching gift

To turn the two pairs into a proper gift set, add a few touches:

two mugs or bowls for Sunday breakfast;
a big throw to share during a film;
matching socks, for a "family" look that gets a laugh in photos;
a card with an idea for a night in, inspired by our cosy night-in ideas.
