1
Follow tradition and give gold for the 50th jubilee; try to think creatively, though, not literally.
-
2
Put extensive thought into selecting a gift for your spouse. When shopping for a couple, consult people who know their tastes and preferences, especially for this big celebration.
-
3
Interpret gold as treasure. A gold key for key rings, golden caviar and tasting spoon or a storage chest or wooden box make ideal gifts.
-
4
Consider a nontraditional gift, perhaps something for you and your partner to do together such as trip to the Golden Door Spa, gold mining in Northern California or a Gold Coast getaway. Such a present would also work well for a couple.

5
Enclose a personal gift card recognizing that 50 years of marriage is a big milestone.

Tips & Warnings
Real gold in small objects like a tiny gold treasure box reflects the spirit of the occasion.
Jewelry is an obvious, and good, choice when looking for gold-themed gifts--especially when the item itself is unique. A fine Chardonnay is a fun play on the theme. And don't forget that flowers are always a welcome means to herald the event.
Usually only the immediate family buys expensive anniversary presents.

I can't wait to try this! I'm heading to the craft store tomorrow to stock up on supplies.I am wondering if when it says "glue" on, the mean regular glue or if it means a hot glue gun? And won't the width of the frames have to be a good size so as to hold what is glued on to it. Any thoughts? -

Collect small gifts (if you can afford it, get 50) with the theme word "gold" e.g. Gold Blend Coffee, Golden Grahams, anything with a gold wrapper, Golden wonder crisps, etc. Fill a gold basket by first filling the base with gold paper that you have put through the shredder, then arrange the items in the basket, scatter golden sugared almonds around, wrap the basket in florists plastic and tie with a big gold bow and a gold tag ... voil! I did this for a friend's golden wedding and got together with a few friends each given the task to find a specific number of presents with no repeats, I have also done them for new babies, weddings etc.

My grandparents 50th anniversary is a month away, and for their present my mother found a bunch or old photos of them and restored them on the computer. She's compiling all the pictures into a scrapbook that will also include all the children and grandchildren, basically their whole lives together.

For my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary, I collected photographs from all of their immediate family members and scanned them to create a slide show. We played this slide show at their wedding anniversary party. The show had pictures from the last 50 years of their life and with everyone who was at the party. Everyone, including my in-laws, were delighted to see the pictures. This gift was appreciated by all.
