I remember that I have written an article about the 50th wedding.Well,this article is totally different from that one.

     The 50th anniversary is commemorated by gold and the flower is violet. A gift certainly doesn’t have to be gold, wrap a gift in gold paper or paper decorated with violets.

     50th anniversary gift ideas for the couple

     Keepsake personalized anniversary gifts, such as a photo quilt or pillow .

     Monthly or quarterly lo-carb, dietetic or fruit gift baskets .

     Restore their wedding photo and place in a gold frame .

     Have a painting or caricature made out of their wedding photo .

     As they probably don’t cook for themselves as much, gift certificates to restaurants would be appreciated .

     A gift of theater or concert subscription tickets. Make them a patron with VIP privileges .

     The children can create a 50th anniversary keepsake journal gift. Ask family and friends to write a paragraph or two to share a memory with their parents. Or ask for a photo with the couple that the children don’t have and write a caption about it .

    Instead of a guest book, buy a music box and fill it with messages of love written on gold or handmade paper from family and friends.

     Are they up for a cruise? Take them on a weekend or week long cruise. They probably will enjoy sharing this vacation with others .

     What could help them personally? Can you lease a car for them? Pay for a kitchen or other home renovation?

     Do they golf? Pay for private lessons or a VIP membership at their favorite club. Buy 2 clubs, have them engraved and then gold plated .

     What hobbies do they enjoy? Give them gift certificates to their favorite craft or hobby store.

     Buy tickets to a favorite event and pay for their lodging and food expenses .

     Do they volunteer or have a favorite charity? Contribute to their favorite organization. Find out if a plaque or some other special mention can be given in their name .

     The best 50th anniversary gift for the couple is one that helps them to enjoy life more. Many couples don’t even want to receive gifts. Give a gift of your time and help. Make up “Gift of Time” or “Labor of Love” coupons to take them out to their favorite restaurant, make them a home-cooked meal, chauffeur them on a shopping trip, run errands for them, take them to a show or movie, have a local landscaping company take care of their property, have their home repainted.
