Valentine’ day is a day dedicated for lovers who want to celebrate the love that they feel for their partners. When we think of this day the image that comes to our mind are young and vibrant youngsters exchanging valentine’ day gifts, flowers and cards. However, never the image of an old married couple celebrating Valentine’s Day crosses our mind. This is because elderly couples are never considered to have a liking for this day. However, Contrary to popular belief, many elderly couples do enjoy celebrating this day but due to certain limitations are unable to celebrate it the way they want to. In fact, compared to others, elderly couples truly deserve this occasion, as they are the ones who have experienced true love. This day gives them an opportunity to thank the companion who loves and takes care of them in the autumnal stages of their lives.

Shopping is a big no no for the elderly married couple for three reasons. Firstly, there would be mad rush in stores which makes shopping more annoying. Secondly, the Valentines gifts found in shops and stores are more for the youth and less for the elderly. Thirdly, gifting items would be sheer waste of money since their house is already stashed with items amassed all these years. Hence, elderly couples need to think out of the box in order to please their spouse. The following are some unique valentines day gift ideas for them.
