Celebrating a 50th wedding anniversary is such a fantastic achievement! Since it is a special anniversary, a special gift is needed and that's where a golden anniversary gift basket comes in! Below are several different themes you could use for your 50th wedding anniversary gift basket, from hobbies to highlighting the year they were married!
Create a gardening 50th gift basket from gardening catalogs, seeds of plants you particularly like, tools, and a stepping stone with a suitable thought. There are actually kits to make your own stones found at craft and variety stores. You could put a favorite tender quote of theirs on it colored gold to match this golden anniversary gift basket, or the date of their wedding. This would make a beautiful 50th basket that would combine functional and sentimental items. Each glance out their window seeing the beautiful blooms or vegetables would remind them of you and your precious gift. And as they walk the garden path, looking down at those wonderful stones you've made, they will remember all the fantastic years they've spent together! There is no greater enchanting, yet also sensible, of wonderful 50th baskets!
You could make a large tote bag a picture tote bag by getting one with clear pockets on the side and slipping in a couple favorite copies of photos in the pockets. You can also buy tote bags made with those picture slots. This would make the greatest of practical baskets as they use the tote time and again! To complete the theme, add different sized pictures in different frames to the bag. You can put a wedding photo in a gold frame to complete that golden anniversary basket! Add photos of the family they've made together over the years and you'll have the most unique and treasured gift.
Is square dancing an interest of that special couple? You could take a galvanized tub and fill it with a couple colorful, full petticoats that are worn under the women's skirts. You could include in the 50th wedding anniversary gift basket a couple string ties, something popular with the men! A matched pair of his and her cowboy hats would add a nice touch to the 50th anniversary gift basket with a square dance theme. And when they're not actually dancing they could wear the t-shirts that proclaim their love of square dancing that you've included in this most unique of 50th anniversary gift baskets! If it's something they've expressed in an interest in, make it a beginners square dancing golden anniversary gift basket with an instructional DVD or two or even a membership to a local square dance club.
Or you could buy a ready made 50th anniversary gift basket. Some of the special items you might want in it would be things from the year they were married. Something very different and special would be adding a set of circulated coins, like a penny, dime, quarter and half dollar from that year. Perhaps a picture frame with the year and a sentiment on it and a DVD of the events of that year added into the 50th wedding anniversary gift basket would add to the highlights of that year they were married. There are many interesting things that could be included in the 50th anniversary gift basket like a CD of music from that year, candies that were popular the year they were married or trivia playing cards.
A simple, but fantastic 50th wedding anniversary idea is one with a culinary theme. Add several gift certificates from restaurants in the area. Team the style of cuisine of the restaurants with a cook book so they can try out that cuisine at home! Many towns now offer a variety of cuisines in their restaurants. You can find different types of Asian, French, down home style and even BBQ with books to match! This most extraordinary of 50th anniversary gift baskets creates an adventure in dining that will be a most welcomed present!
