My parents will celebrate their 40th anniversary this summer (which alternately wows me and horrifies me!). Thinking of giving them a beautiful silver frame or tray (or something) with some sort of engraving -- but not sure what. The date of their anniversary? "Happy 40th Anniversary!" ANy ideas/suggestions? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

My parents had a tough stretch a year or 2 ago (health issues) and I wouldn't want them to take this the wrong way -- but it's so funny that I may not be able to resist. I just found a website to order from! :) [ Reply | More

OP: That's what I'm thinking -- I'll give a "big" gift and also the trophies. Or save the trophy idea for 41 -- which is random, but might be that might make it funny. [ Reply | More

OP: They wouldn't want the photo album (not their thing) -- but I don't think they'd mind the frame -- I'd get something that would match their house and I'd inclue a family photo. [ Reply | More
