50th Wedding Anniversary Gifts

Some Anniversary Gifts for the 50th Wedding Anniversary – The Golden Anniversary

Making it fifty years married is pretty amazing. Most people haven’t even lived that long. So, what do you get the couple who’s probably lived together for more years than we’ve been alive? Here’s a few relatively unique ideas for you.

Love the 50th time around

Love the 50th time around

Many couples don’t even want gifts at all. Give a gift of your time and help. Make up “Gift of Time” or “Labor of Love” coupons to take them out to their favorite restaurant, make them a home-cooked meal, chauffeur them on a shopping trip, run errands for them, take them to a show or movie, have a local landscaping company take care of their property, have their home repainted. Find out what will make a difference in the quality of their life.

Your love and attention will be the most appreciated 50th wedding anniversary gift you can give your parents or a couple. Make the time for those you love!

Whew… even writing this article was difficult. There’s obviously a lack of creative gifts for 50th anniversaries. I hope this list helps just a little more. Good luck! And congratulate the amazing couple for their long-lasting love for each other! :)

If you have any more ideas, please feel free to add them in the comments.

Different Business Degrees

What are some different business degrees, you ask? I received my undergrad business degree from a state university, and it’s served me well so far.

iPod Tube Speakers = Awesome

DICE iTPA-220 iPod Tube Amplifier System This, friends, is one amazing iPod docking station with speakers. It uses tube amplification, which is pretty old-school, but I absolutely love the merger between old and new. I mentioned something like it from Hammacher Schlemmer way back in the day, but that bad boy costs $4k. I’m way [...]

Follow Friday? Nah. Unfollow Tuesday

Serendipity. n. an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident. We are indebted to the English author Horace Walpole for the word serendipity, which he coined in one of the 3,000 or more letters on which his literary reputation primarily rests. In a letter of January 28, 1754, Walpole says that “this discovery, indeed, is [...]

“Strict Lending” = Blame the Entrepreneurs

“Honestly,” she says to me, “there is absolutely no market for stated income loans anymore.” These were the words I was afraid of, was warned about, and didn’t believe. I wasn’t easily turned away. “Why? What’s the difference between a stated income loan and a full doc loan… is that right? Is it called ‘full [...]

Taking Back the Word Hero for the Heroes

Matt Langdon is the founder, creator, and visionary of the Hero Workshop, a fascinating project-turned-organization who’s aim is “to show young people that by doing the little things every day they can become heroes.
