The best gifts for an older couple, from weddings to anniversary gifts

Turn their old film reels, VHS tapes, audio recordings, slides and photos into digital files they can preserve for the rest of their life — and beyond. Legacybox offers several digitizing tiers, from two items up to 40 items, allowing you to turn everything from 16mm film to Betamax tapes into digital files you can access from a thumb drive, a disc set or from the Cloud, where you'll have unlimited downloads. 

Simply fill your Legacybox with old home movies and pictures and sent it off to be digitized, and the brand does the rest. You'll get a list of barcodes to attach to your items so that you can track their digitization progress throughout the process. 

Turn their favorite photo into a fun puzzle for the entire family to enjoy! Choose from 25 pieces, 252 pieces, or up to 500 pieces in either a vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on your photo. The unassembled photo pieces are stored in a commemorative cardboard gift box printed with the same photograph so they can keep it on display and refer to it while building the puzzle. The box features a black border around the lid and base for a sleek display.

Spoil the couple with a matching set of fancy bath robes that they'd never buy for themselves. These Cloud Cotton robes from bedding and bath brand Parachute come in a palette of dusty colors, like Moss for him and Rose for her. They're made of fluffy 4-ply gauze from 100% long-staple Turkish cotton that has a relaxed fit, a snug waist tie and two hidden side pockets. 

Choose from sizes XS to 3X. You can even consider getting them embroidered for an extra special touch. 

The glossy leaves and braided trunk of a Chinese Money Tree makes it an excellent gift for pretty much any occasion. But it's because the tree symbolizes wealth and prosperity that makes it a good wedding or anniversary gift for couples. 

This one from 1-800-Flowers comes with a stylish seagrass woven basket and plastic liner so it can immediately be pulled from the delivery box and put on display. This medium plant will measure about 30-inches high upon delivery. 

For the couple who have a weekly Facetime in the books, make their calls even easier with an Echo Show. Use it like a tablet for tuning into video calls, set it up like a digital picture frame to rotate through photos, set it up as a calendar, use it for recipes and so much more. 

This 2023 model of the Amazon Echo Show also includes an auto monthly subscription to Alexa Emergency, which provides hands-free, fast, 24/7 help when it's needed most. With Alexa Emergency, first responders can access pre-saved critical information like allergies, gate codes or whether there are pets in the home. You can also set it up so that Alexa notifies you if it detects a smoke or carbon monoxide detector going off in the home when you aren't around.

Original artwork is one of the best gifts you can give. Not only do you get to support an artist by doing so, but you'll be giving a genuinely thoughtful and one-of-a-kind gift that can be passed down through the generations. Titled "April to May," this urban realism oil on wood painting by Chicago-based artist Darren Thompson brings to evokes references to 20th Century American painters like Edward Hopper and George Bellows. 

Of course if this isn't quite to the taste of your giftees, you can find plenty of other original paintings and artworks at Saatchi Art — many for under $500, too.

Whether they're honeymooning or are going on a family trip, make sure they're prepared for their next getaway with a new set of durable luggage. Away's luggage has been one of our favorites for a while, thanks to the brand's thoughtful design features, stylish colorways and fun personalization add-on. 

When you bundle two or more pieces, you save at least $50. We recommend bundling The Carry On and The Medium, which should work for almost any trip they take. Both are made of a lightweight, durable hardcase shell with 360-degree wheels and interior compression straps. The Carry On is sized to fit in all overhead bins and ideal for three- to five-day trips, while The Medium is a midsize checked suitcase that's perfect for one- to two-weeks away.

Personalize them with up to three letters for just $10. 

Some couples don't want more stuff and things. For those folks, give them the gift of an experience they can do together. With a $15 annual subscription to Masterclass, they can take over 200 digital classes with some of the greatest minds across 11 different categories. 

Learn modern middle eastern cooking with Yotam Ottolenghi, or master the art of scientific thinking and communication with Neil deGrasse Tyson. Take a photography lesson with Annie Leibovitz or learn about filmmaking from Martin Scorsese. The lessons are truly endless. 

With a $15 annual subscription, they can get access to Masterclass lessons on two devices at a time — and download them for offline viewing.
