Guest Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 It's the in-laws 50th Wedding Anniversary in a couple of weeks and we have decided that we will put together a gift of 50 things that are golden. We can think of the obvious things like, golden graham, gold blend tea, golden syrup. I just thought I would ask for your ideas. It can be anything, doesn't have to be food. Also thinking of xmas dec and napkins etc. We've done this before for others for ruby and silver ideas. But 50 things are taking some thinking about. GO ON AMAZE ME!!!!!!!! Quote
Guest Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 What a lovely idea Well my first thought was a 'golden hand shake', could you make a plaster cast of you and hubby shaking hands, paint it gold, might look nice on a mantlepiece?? Marigolds ? (no not the gloves, silly ) Peggy Quote
Lorna Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Gold stars, gold pens, Rose with golden yellow blooms. A start... Quote
hali Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 fantastic idea what about shiny £1 coin, golden delicious apple, gold bar (chocolate variety) goldfish (maybe not) - umm will keep thinking - keeps me away from written tasks Quote
JacquieL Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Goldfinger DVD or book. Gold chocolate coins. Gold balloons Gifts wrapped in gold paper with gold sequins inside. Gold ribbons. Gold coloured pan scourer and gold coloured washing up liquid. Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 All I can think of are a packet of Werther's Originals (are they in sparkly gold wrappers?) and some of those lovely golden penny toffees from the Quality Street tin. Mmm I think I need to break out the OH's secret chocolate stash! There must be some wine that has 'golden' in the title! I think this is a lovely idea - what a task though to actually manage it! I shall keep thinking! Maz PS There's a lot of 'gold' music too: from Metallica to Amy Winehouse via Andrew Gold and Sting: I'm sure there will be something to take their fancy! And there's always Spandau Ballet's 'Gold' which I am now singing in my head. Quote

Now the least you should do is give us a list of all 50 when you've finished. My hubby, a true romantic, just suggested "Golden memories" as the last 'gold' item to be presented. This could be a DVD/video made from home movies/photo's or a photo album with photos covering the 5 decades (gold embossed cover). Peggy Quote
Beau Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Drawing pins.................. Sorry, my brain doesn't function well on a Monday morning! Quote
JacquieL Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Hmm ... seems sharp and to the point to me Beau! Quote
HappyMaz Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Drawing pins.................. Sorry, my brain doesn't function well on a Monday morning! That's our Beau: sharp as a tack! However, I think the sooner you get a day job the better Beau! Quote
Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Now the least you should do is give us a list of all 50 when you've finished. Peggy Ok peggy, hopefully this is the list. Golden_wedding_gifts.doc I have divided it up into three sections for us three daughter-in-laws to buy a bit each. I'm on half term next week (20th) so shall have to go shopping whilst i'm away in Devon as we need it for 30th October. Quote
