Coral/35th Wedding Anniversary ideas?

stargirl73

Do any of you inventive types have any suggestions for something special for my parents 35th WA - I believe it's coral.

I did have a good idea - Caithness glass did a paperweight in 1973 (the year they were marrid) called "coral" but the few that I have seen on a well known auction site have gone for silly money -so I think others may have had the same genius idea! Does anyone know where else I might get one?

I started thinking about this months ago -in order to be organised for it. But Christmas and NY got in the way and now I have 10days to sort something out! Story of my chaotic life!

So any ideas would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance

Caithness is collectable so it will always be expensive.

I don;t know what to suggest - does it have to be coral? Can you buy them a meal or another item for the home?

What is your price range? (if you don't mind me asking)

Is there anything your parents are into? any hobbies?

We got my parents tickets for a west end musical and had a lovely basket arrangement of coral coloured flowers delivered.

How about Coral stamps from 1973, in a posh frame? This could maybe be a small gift as a token and you could get them something else as the main part?

No - not really. They are the most impossible folks to buy for!

I guess we'd be looking (between a few of us I hasten to add!) at somewhere around the £100 mark maybe - but would rather get something witty/appropriate/novel than something particularly expensive.

That sounds nice. I've just had a kind of conversation with them today and my mum wants to go to London for a couple of days - but dad seemed bit non plussed about the whole thing really.

Is there a web site where you can buy cheaper west end tickets? Is it like trains etc the earlier you book it the better deal you get? I'm not terribly au fait with theatres.

Thanks for the suggestion
