Have an older Aunt and Uncle and struggle to buy them a gift every year. They've had picture frames with personal photos/clocks/candles/food gifts in the past but this year I'm struggling. Don't want to spend more than £30 does anyone have any ideas please???

Nice alcohol? Voucher for the cinema?

What about a non-fiction book based on their interests? There are loads to browse on Amazon.

Eg I'm getting this for one of my grandparents:

Nice houseplant in a nice pot.

Thanks for the ideas - would like to avoid alcohol as they are both drinkers and its just boring! Anything else - they don't really do hobbies...

If they both like alcohol then it's problem solved. You know they will like it.

Something for the garden? A bird nesting box... bird feeder... (my in laws of that age requested these one year!)

I’m older and I really don’t want ‘stuff’. I am trying to get rid of things rather than acquire them.
I would like a voucher for afternoon tea, or Sunday lunch somewhere. Last Christmas we got a voucher for a wine tasting evening that was fun.
Failing that, I would do the alcohol thing, unless by drinkers you mean verging on alcoholic. There are so many lovely gins around, maybe that with some nice tonics?

Jigsaw or board game. At the moment my parents are enjoying Tetris Dual
