Nice house gift for around £30

Hi

I would like to buy a present for a couple for Xmas for around £30. Don't mind it being a bit more if needed.

They are a couple in their 60s and have only been married/together for about 3 years and set up a lovely home together after many years as single parents.

They helped me out so I'd like to get them a nice housey gift but struggling to think what when I don't know what they might have.

Any good suggestions and links please?

I've bought so many other gifts I'm almost shopped out and struggling with this one.

Thanks in advance x

At their age they will have everything they want, so something disposable. A good bottle of wine or a nice candle I think.

LSA vases are lovely and you will get something around £30.
Even if they have vases, it's good to have different shapes and sizes

Etsy have nice things, even a small framed print or handmade decorative jug.

What about some luxurious sheets if you know their bed size ? Very practical and unlikely to get put in a cupboard and forgotten but also lovely every time you get into bed. You can never have too many and they go with any house decor.
id be a bit surprised but absolutely delighted with that, much more than a bowl or vase or random candle
These are great

A map on where they got married/went on honeymoon/their new house location? www.bombus.co.uk/personalised-map-square-wall-art.html

Just no. You don't buy someone a sheet.
