Random Question- 50th Anniversary Gifts

winecastle14

Totally random question, but does anyone have any good ideas for a 50th wedding anniversary gift for my grandparents? I wanted to throw them a party or at least do a dinner with family and their closest friends, but my grandmother didn't want that so I'm searching for a nice gift. 

I found this plate: https://www.etsy.com/listing/176148486/golden-beaded-50th-wedding-anniversary but then I read the one review from someone who purchased it and they weren't pleased at all with it. I want it to be a nice, timeless type gift but I'm not finding too many options by going to Google. My grandmother is a very hip grandmother so that's making it even harder to find something cool. Help, please!

Could you maybe track down a wedding photo and get it restored and framed? Or frame the invite, or something like that.

Thanks guys! I was thinking of doing a slideshow or framing some old photos. She haaates having her picture taken so I couldn't do a then and now but I'm sure she'd love older photos. Good idea about getting her the same kind of flowers too. I'll have to try to see if I can get that info out of her. I do still want to do some other kind of gift too. I'd love to be able to send them on a vacation but I can't really justify spending that much money on the gift and I feel weird saying here's some money to put toward a trip. They wouldn't take it anyway. They are still basically providing for their two children and their kids so I just want to think of something nice just for them.

@-auntie-‌ I wish but I'm the oldest grandchild by 13 years (I'm 29) and as I mentioned in my other post, their two kids (my dad and aunt) basically live off of them so I know they won't have anything to contribute.

They do have an awesome group of friends that I'm sure will do something for them but I feel a little weird asking them if they want to go in on something. I don't want them to feel obligated.

Thanks for your help! It is a bit of an odd situation since I'm the only one in the immediate family that can afford to do anything but I'm determined to figure out something.
