What’s a good gift for an older couple (mid 50s)? Budget around $150. They recently renovated their home so I’m thinking maybe something home related?

It’s what I would like to spend, not necessarily a cap. No occasion in particular - they’ve very kind to me and did my family a favor so would like to show my appreciation.

Idk how tech savvy the couple is, but my parents love Alexa - it might make a good gift for them. You could get a higher end version too, and help them set it up.
You could also pair Alexa with a Philip hue set and it would fit your budget - make their life easier, so they can turn off lights with voice.

Are there activities they enjoy? Maybe couples classes or something? Also consider national park passes if they like the outdoors and traveling.
