Parents Silver Wedding Anniversary Pressie Ideas Please!

Stellios · 27 May 2008 at 16:05

Hi guys,

Im just after a few suggestions if possible. My parents' Silver Wedding anniversary (25 years) is coming on Friday and Ive not got a clue what to get for them. Does anyone have any realistic/generic suggestions that I could maybe get for them on a Silver Wedding?

Cheers for any advice

My parents just had there one. I got them a digital picture frame and put all the pictures I could find of the last 25 years. Worked a treat for my mum she loved it. My Dad was happy I got him some beers as well

Not something I've done myself, but I think this is a really good idea, it's personal and will hold much greater meaning than any random present ever will.

Unfortunately my dads already done it at Christmas so I cant do it

Brilliant idea though!

Get something personalised or engraved for them. Can't remember what I got mine for 25th, I wasn't old enough do it off my own bat though. It's their 40th in 2010

10p piece? Thats silver isn't it?

How about some nice silver jewellry? Or a silver plate with an inscription?

Ive got my eye on that, but the price makes baby jesus cry, and im thinking its maybe a bit tacky?

It's pretty horrible if you ask me.

You dad won't be impressed. Get them matching tankards, that will impress him.

From what I can remember for my folks 25th we got them engraved champaign glasses as a sort of keep sake, bought each of them a piece of silver jewellery and just had a nice meal and stuff like that.

EDIT: If you could afford it, it might be nice to maybe send them away on a short holiday possibly to where they went on honeymoon or something like that

Yuck - that's something that goes on the mantle piece when you're round, and then back in its box and into a cupboard when you're gone.

I like the tankard idea - you can get the set inscribed with yours, and their names.

HAHA! Nice

Have you got a price limit, and are you thinking of something really big, or just a small sentimental present?

Thinking around about the £100ish mark. Probably just a keepsake or something for them, my mothers very sentimental and old fashioned.

The holiday idea is already taken care of, they are off in the Lake District for the next 4 days, my mam paid for it as a present to my dad.

The idea of getting things engraved could go down well, definately somethign to look into, cheers for that
