my stepfather's parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this weekend -- 50! years! -- and i've been trying for several weeks to think of a gift. originally we thought to hire a photographer to come and take a great family shot, but then we found out they don't want a big fuss and want the party to be very low key. we're taking them to fancy dinner the day after the party, but what does one give a couple who has been together for so long, travels frequently, and is not lacking for much? what would be meaningful to commemorate 50 years?

maybe... a cd with top 10 hits from the year they got married -- 1959! -- or something with "gold" in the name that isn't a gold-rimmed plate or picture frame... and we don't have vintage photos, so photo/slideshow is out. any ideas?

  2. thanks, stephanie! i wish i'd thought of it sooner -- if i can get a decent photo i may get you to fancy up one for the holidays. would be a lovely thing to get for people who have everything they need... (except a photo canvas...)

    it's hard, they're fairly low key and keep insisting we not make a fuss. but you've been married for 50 years...

  3. 50 years is a wonderful milestone (oops - almost wrote "millstone" lol) I think you have some fabulous choices here!

  5. So important to celebrate the milestones! how about a documentary film celebrating the 50 years together? Check out www.rewindpics.com. They do a great job at this!

  7. Waaay too late as a suggestion for this anniversary but for future reference, how about a personalized cushion for the couple with gold thread to celebrate this special event, perhaps incorporating linked hearts or some other appropriate design for the couple. See lifecovers.etsy.com for other ideas.
