25th anniversary gift help???

[JB!]

My parents will have been married 25 years on the 12th, and I STILL have no idea what to get them...

Not got much by the way of budget, but want something a bit unusual/memorable...

So far I've looked at buying the single that was at No.1 that weekend, but other than that...

I have never bought my parents an anniversary present or card. It's their 40th this year and I couldn't even tell you what date.

imo, the celebration of the marriage is only significant to two people. I don't see the significance of people sending a card/gift to congratulate then on not having divorced.

I too have never bought my parents a card or present to celebrate their anniversary, except for their 25th where me and my brothers clubbed together for a decanter and silver tray.

Pictures in photo frames. I'm guessing that like most people they have some photos of special memories in envelopes and drawers that they have never quite managed to get framed like they always planned to.

Needs some excuses to root around probably and a bit short notice to get things printed from old negatives maybe, depends how good you are with Photoshop too. Frames that take multiple small photos are a good idea, go round and put screws in the walls to hang them from too to make sure it happens.
