Diamond wedding anniversary small gift ideas?

3 replies

It is my parents' 60th (diamond) wedding anniversary at the start of September.

We have a Diamond anniversary rose sorted with a personalised pot, cards and the card from the queen ( tho Covid may mean that may be late).

I also have a 1960 biscuit tin we would like to fill with little things my mum especially (who has dementia but will enjoy this) can unpack/ unwrap.

It's not as easy as the Golden anniversary where there were lots of suitably named or coloured food gifts available.

Any ideas? Edible or not? Cheap and silly or practical or sentimental or anything. I have a personalised choc bar from NOTHS and a wedding photo so far. The tin is a bit empty...

PS. (Thankfully) they would not appreciate real diamonds!

What a lovely thought. How about a sixties compilation cd (do you know the tune they had their 1st dance to?) Some of the pound shops have a pen topped with a giant fake diamond (& pens are always useful). A little photo album with pictures of all the family. Amazon have a 60th anniversary plaque showing the number of days they’ve been married. Hope they have a lovely anniversary!

Those are brilliant ideas, @Moomum123 i will get them a Frank Sinatra CD they can play in the car. They didn't have a first dance - just an afternoon tea mostly surrounded by my mum's mum's friends! They paid for the reception so made most of the choices...

Who doesn’t love Frank Sinatra Smile on amazon they also have a pair of mugs 60 years Mr Right and 60 years Mrs Always Right (if they like a cuppa). Good luck filling the tin!
