Use your creativity and ponder over it.

For 5th Year...
A bonding of 5 years is a sure cause of celebration, as it is considered to be the first step towards further strengthening the relationship. According to the traditional wedding anniversary gifts, wood symbolizes the 5th wedding anniversary. So one should gift anything with the theme of wood.

The husbands can also think of gifting something unique that can help the lady in her household chores.

For 25th Year...
Completing silver jubilee of your married life is a great achievement in today's fast paced life, when the number of divorces have risen drastically every year. The best thing is to plan out a long vacation to some tourist spot and hang in there and spend some quality time with each other.

A spa voucher or a membership of a yoga club or even a gym membership is a caring gift that the husband/wife can gift each other.

For 50th Year...
The golden jubilee embarks couples on an altogether a new journey of continuing 50 years of dedication, trust, care and love. Some of the gifts that couples can gift each other are the tour packages to visit places of spiritual and religious interest in the city.

And also thanks to the almighty, for the years of wisdom and support. The idea of including some fun and frolic is not at all a bad one. Either of the couples can give a surprise party. For example, the wife can invite all the friends of her husband and give him a grand surprise! A bottle of champagne or 50 gourmet chocolates can also be a sweet and simple gift ideag.

Gifts From Friends and Relatives
Years and years of togetherness is a milestone in the life of a couple. To make this special, friends, family members and near ones can throw a party for the couple! They can gift the couple something that complements their age and they should also not forget to include the fun element in the gift. Throw a theme based party and treat the couple as a king and queen. Try to make them feel special and let them bask in the glory of many years of bonding they have shared with each other.

The couple can be gifted gold plates with love messages encrypted on them or else give them a tour ticket for a cruise. Even some gift vouchers for a spa or some lounge will give them a special treatment and they will be able to spend good times with one another. A unique gift for your parents or the couple would be to give them a personalized painting. Take a copy of their wedding photo and get it nicely transformed into hand painted oil on canvas or other forms of designs. Choose from a number of customization options that are available. Even you can select from various modern and traditional styles of painting.

Wedding anniversary gifts form a bridge of beautiful memories for the couple and make their wedding a day to remember for the lifetime! When you are presenting the gifts, you can ask the couple to remarry (yeah! Remarry!) and repeat the traditional wedding vows! This will surely make them feel blessed and happy!
