These people don’t always get the credit they deserve for saving our relationships and helping us to hold on just a little bit longer to love. So here is a list of 25 gift ideas you can get for an older couple to show appreciation for what they do for your relationship.
Thoughtful Gift Ideas for an Older Couple
Having a couple to look up to that can advise you on your love journey can be very beneficial for you and your partner. Knowing that there have been others who have walked a similar journey as you and are still on the pursuit for happiness should make you feel even better about where you are in life.
Matching Glasses
You’re never too old for matching glasses! Get something that reflects their personality (like these ones).
Family or Couple Portrait
This website is called “Paint Your Life” and it lets you order a custom painting of anything you want! Just send in pictures of the older couple and they’ll make a unique portrait. Even cooler, you can also include other people (like the kids or grandkids) and they all get painted in together.
Personalized Stackable Rings
These personalized goodies will have you all smiling and sharing an even stronger bond.
Custom Map Keychain
Find out one of their favourite destinations and get that map added onto the necklace. Talk about an added personal touch.
Matching Slippers
Much better than getting matching onesies. Soo much foot comfort.
Cute Older Couple Statue
If you don’t know what to get them maybe something that they can display would be a nice gesture. There’s plenty of nice statues of older couples out there, but this one is especially nice.
Matching Pillowcases
No better feeling than lying down next to the one you love… on a soft fluffy pillow, of course!
Personalized Air Freshener
These are cute, thoughtful gifts for an older couple who has everything. Customize one with a family photo or a picture of their beloved pet.
Funny Welcome Mat
Customized gifts are always nice, especially if they’re both funny and practical too. Now anyone who visits will know exactly what to expect before they walk through the door.
Custom Throw Blanket
Another lovely customized gift, this one for inside. As you get older you start to get cold more often so it will probably get put to use a lot in the years to come.
Rouxbe Online Cooking Course

Personalized Wine Decanter Set
Perfect gift ideas for an older couple who loves wine o’ clock and get-togethers.
Engraved Wood Watches
Matching time pieces ask them what time it is and watch them answer simultaneously. Lol!
Matching Christmas Stockings
A little something extra sometimes Santa Claus comes twice a year.
Corks and Caps Saver
Allow them to keep a record of the drinks, might be surprising to see who the drinker of the house is.
Couples Aprons
Perfect for that couple’s cookout they’ve been planning or baking together.
Funny Sign
A funny gag gift idea for an older couple! Would also be great for a milestone anniversary too.
Matching Anniversary Shirts
Speaking of anniversaries, how cute is this? You can swap it to whatever time they’ve been together to these and even add some custom text.
Personalized Couple Keychains
From matching t-shirts to matching key-chains, did someone say couple of the year?
Spa Gift Set
Perfect little self-pampering set for the two love birds.
Couples Mug Set
Pair this set of mugs with some nice tea or coffee for a an easy and thoughtful gift an older couple will appreciate.
Aromatherapy Candle Set
Candles are a great gift idea if you don’t know what to get someone or don’t know them that well. Choose something that is more likely to be enjoyed by an older couple, like this aromatherapy candle set.
Personalized Photo Blanket
Great for those cold days where they want to cuddle up on the couch. Gather up some pictures and order one for a really thoughtful, sentimental one of a kind gift idea.
Personalized Christmas Ornament
So cute for a Christmas gift! You can personalize it with the likeness of the couple too to make it extra special.
Picnic Set
Picnic date idea, anyone? An older couple might not be partying together on the regular (at least not the same way they did in their 20s) but they’ll still appreciate you putting together a thoughtful date idea for them.
Custom Suncatcher
This beautiful gift is stunning for an older couple who seems to have everything they could possibly need. Customize it with their names!
Buying an older couple a meaningful gift can be a bit of a challenge. We hope that our list has at least eased your tensed up shoulders a bit. If all else fails bake them a cake and laugh the days away.
