The best wedding gifts for older couples, from personalized gifts to experiences they can do together

For the couple who has everything, a custom commissioned portrait is an extremely thoughtful and personalized wedding gift that they'll cherish for decades to come. Svetlana Matevosyan, owner of this Etsy shop, creates custom commissions of oil portraits based on photos, so you can get creative with what image you have commissioned. Choose a photo from their engagement or from a favorite vacation. Or, you can plan ahead and gift them a commission after the wedding day using one of their favorite photos from the big day. It's truly a gift for couples who already have everything they could possibly need. 

They'll need a nice picture frame for their favorite photo of the big day. This mother-of-pearl frame comes in three sizes, but we think the 8" x 10" is a great choice for a wedding portrait. The elegant lustrous frame can be displayed on a table or mounted onto a wall.  

It doesn't matter whether they've lived in the same house for 30 years or are kicking off a new phase of live in a new home. Help them make it feel extra special with a personalized watercolor painting of their home that'll take pride of place when displayed. Etsy seller CasaBellaPortraits operates out of Colorado, shipping these customized digital watercolor prints for all types of occasions, as gifts for first-time homeowners to mementos of childhood homes. For older couples, it's a thoughtful gift that'll remind them of the beautiful life they've created together.

Help them celebrate their first toast as husband and wife with a set of engraved champagne glasses. Choose the style of engraving and front, as well as whether you'd like the engraving to be gold filled. The glasses will come in a stylish gift box, too. 

Fortnum and Mason are the destination for delightful and delicious gift baskets for big occasions. If I was getting married (which I am), I would absolutely want one of these (which I do!). This hand-woven wicker basket is designed with the happy couple in mind and is filled with all sorts of celebration-worthy nibbles and treats. In it they'll find wedding day bubbly, delicious wedding tea, scrumptious truffle chocolates, British rose biscuits, champagne and strawberry jam, salted caramel milk chocolate florentines and much, much more. It's a gifts that's surprising and delighting, and will be so much fun for the couple to enjoy together ahead of their wedding.

Make sure they're prepared for their honeymoon 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. 

For couples who love to cook together, a personalized family cookbook is something they'll cherish. Choose the book size and from different types of timber binding — cherry wood or maple wood. You can also choose the type of paper and whether you want it to be blank or recipe standard sheets, though we think most people would prefer recipe style on cardstock so it's most durable. You can also choose a screw color and vegan leather binding color for a valuable piece of family history that they'll want to pass down. 

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. 

If the couple will be sharing a last name, this is a sweet way to welcome their new stage of life together. These custom embroidered pillow covers come in several sizes, and you can choose the fabric and embroidery colors to match their aesthetic. Reviewers also say these make great engagement gifts, anniversary gifts and gifts for kids and grandkids! 

Made with Viscose from bamboo, Oprah added these sheets to her "Favorite Things" list in 2018 and dubbed them to be "the softest ever and may help regulate body temperature, meaning both chilly sleepers and hot flashers can get a good night’s rest." 

We think she's on to something. Natural fibers like cotton and bamboo are often more breathable than synthetic materials like microfiber and polyester, which is why a good set of fancy sheets is one gift you know the couple will use for years.

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.
