Parents 25th Wedding Anniversary

Hello

It is our parents Silver Wedding anniversary soon and I am struggling to think of what I could get them for a present. I would make a big picture frame full of photos over the year but that was done quite recently for a special birthday. Does anyone have any ideas for me? It cannot cost too much money unfortunately as money is a bit tight just now.

Thanks in advance x

    I got mine a 25 year old bottle of whisky and they thought it was great. I have also bought other people personalised bottles of whisky from Grouse http://www.thefamousgrouse.com/shop/labelmaker These are fairly cheap but a great talking point and very personal.

  • Do they like Gardening? I bought a Ruby Rose plant for my In-Laws on their 40th Wedding Anniversary for under £15.00 and they loved it. You could get similar, like "Rose Silver Wishes".

    Yeah plant would be nice with silver in the name. Lots of ideas here. I bought mine a silver clock which I had engraved from my brother and I.

    Its our Silver Wedding Anniversary too this year! Organising a blessing to celebrate.

    Look at this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3111068 -seems you might have to put in a little bit of effort (and staying up late), but for £2 you could get a canvas,aluminium,acrylic or poster of a favourite photo (maybe thier original wedding piccy?)
    lovin' this site!

    My Auntie had the Church they were married in painted for them. Post above reminded me. They loved that. Think she just found a picture on the internet.

    It was my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary recently and I made them this canvas print of their wedding in the early 1960's:
