A few months ago, I opened my mailbox and sighed. I had just received an invitation to my best friend’s parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party. It’s been nearly 30 years since I have known my best friend and her family, so I am pretty close to all of them. I simply cannot miss out on this special occasion, however, the thought of shopping for a 50th anniversary gift didn’t thrill me either. I am not a fan of shopping for presents like that. I know that I simply cannot get them a generic present, as this is a very special occasion. Even though I was clueless as to what would be an appropriate 50th anniversary gift for such a wonderful couple, I had sent my RSVP to them.
The next day, I hit the mall in search of something special as well as unique. Unfortunately I came up with nothing really exceptional other than the usual picture frames and candles. I mean, can someone enlighten me as to what to get as a 50th anniversary gift for a couple who practically has everything?For sure, I didn’t want to just buy then a gift that you can buy for anyone at anytime. I wanted something meaningful and special, now that’s easier said than done....
