25th wedding anniversary - suggestions for small silver gifts

thriftykatie

Have posted this is anniversaries and weddings but most of posts seem to be wedding related so cross posting in hope of some ideas from you guys on here.....

My sister and bil are celebrating their silver wedding anniversary in August. I had the idea of 25 small 'silver themed' gifts and looking for ideas - either silver coloured, silver in the name/label - anything really. They live in Australia and we are going over there, so gifts need to be portable/small and can't be plants/flowers etc.

Seemed a good idea at the time but now not so sure will be able to come up with 25 things.

Any suggestions please

Hi Katie
if your sister like jewellery maybe a silver jewellery will be a good idea... earrings or a bracelet or a pendant. For her husband maybe a pair of silver cufflinks ? these are small portable things. I bought for my best friend some very nice silver earrings from http://white-ice.silver-uk.co.uk and I saw some classy silver cufflinks here http://www.cufflinks.uk.com/ (although I never bought from them).
I think it will be hard for you to find 25 small things.Hope you'll find the perfect gifts!

How about a 50p or 20p coin from 1984? eBay usually turns these up easily enough.

If you have a trophy shop nearby, silver medals are usually fairly cheap (and lightweight). You could get it engraved with the relevant dates.
A silver photoframe.
Silver-coloured photo album.

Also something along the lines of a 'survival pack' for growing old together? E.g. Silver spoons so that they can spoon feed each other when their teeth have fallen out; silver marbles to replace the ones they will lose; etc.

Silver plated salt and pepper shaker set?

A set of silver wine glass charms? You could even make these for them yourself.

Small silver plated vase or posy bowl?

A silver teaspoon (a touristy 'collectable' one from your town would be good (if there is such a thing), to remind her of home)

Thanks for the ideas - particularly the funny ones: I know they will appreciate humour and thought in the pressies. I also really like the coin idea.

Will be going on a pressie hunt soon!
