Silver Wedding gift for DH?

6 replies

It's our 25th anniversary next month. We've never been OTT about big romantic gestures and it's only in the last 5 years or so that we've done anything about our anniversary at all, except maybe a meal. This year, we're having a night in a posh local hotel before a 4 day city break. We can't travel too far due to disabled child. My eldest DD though said she's told DH he needs to up his game this year and get me a special gift as it's such an important milestone. That's really sweet of her but I'm easy to buy for, he definitely isn't! He doesn't do jewellery except his wedding ring and watch, the watch is quite new and a nice one. He doesn't wear suits or even smart shirts so tie pins and cufflinks are no good. He doesn't play golf. He doesn't drink wine or whiskey. All the "experiences" I've seen are either sport cars (he wouldn't get in one, he's too big), or helicopter flights (he's terrified of heights). Any suggestions?

What does he like to do? Any hobbies?

Generic ideas would be:

Sterling silver pen
Shares in silver mining companies

Does he listen to music? Decent music streamer/ headphones
what sort of budget?

Depending on your budget and his interests:

A nice clock with an inscription
Beer tankard
Blue tooth headphones/ ear pods
Computer tech
Gaming chair

Where are going on your city break? How about a print from there or something linked to where you are going?

Thanks for all these suggestions! He's a bit of a rocker and also trying to build a vinyl collection. Just today I found a 12" box set by Queen that's quite rare and comes in a silver metal box, which is just perfect for him and goes with the silver theme. I'm so relieved.

@AllBlackEverything extra points, Silver mining companies is a great idea! If I hadn't found the album that would definitely have been high on the list.

That sounds like an excellent gift! Hope he loves it 😁
