My parents’ 40th wedding anniversary is coming up. They’re great parents/grandparents and we’re very close. They like going out for meals (but not to posh places, just nice local places), going on holiday, seeing their grandkids, they volunteer at a food bank, my dad likes sports and my mum enjoys doing puzzles. They both read a lot and drink nice red wine. They’re into fitness. They’re vegetarians. They’re doing to Japan on holiday later in the year.
Call me crazy but I can’t think of a single idea of something good to get them! My budget is approx £150. They’re not into expensive things or fancy hotels. I’d really appreciate any ideas!

For my parents 40th anniversary we made a hamper that was filled with all red items. So things like..good red wine, small earrings with rubies in them for mum, red cheese, red suduko/cook books, red infused gin, red sweets, etc etc (all stuff they like but red) see pic! You could make this as pricey or less expensive as you want!

Not overly expensive but I got my parents a ruby rose bush to plant in their garden, over 10 years later and it has beautiful blooms! They are good and attentive gardeners though.
