mum&dads 25th wedding anniversary gift ideas!

My mum and dad will be married 25 years in June and myself and my younger brother want to get them/ arrange something special for them. They are already throwing a party, which they are pretty much sorting themselves so any other ideas for a gift or getaway?!

My brother and I will split the cost, but as a recent graduate im unemployed and he is only 20 so money is a tad tight! Any ideas welcome tho, as im good at finding a cheaper option to most ideas!

Thanks! :)

    My husband and I paid for his parents to stay 2 nights in the lake district for their 25th.

    How about getting some of their wedding photos (or copies) and making them like a scrapbook or a photo album of memories over the years since their wedding day to present? I think that would be a fab present not too expensive and a lot of thought.

    my parents 30th is soon, I'm getting them ticket on eurostar to paris-where they had their honeymoon. Its also my dad's 50th so I'm planning it with my mum and if you book in advance it should only cost £120! and it just after our wedding so its a big thank you as well!
  • These are all great ideas! thanks! xx
