My in-laws like to travel, drink wine, dine out, spend time with family, entertain, and enjoy time together. Any ideas for gifts for their upcoming 40th anniversary? Up to $400.
My parents just celebrated their 40th anniversary. The traditional gift for this is the Ruby, but we weren’t really up for going out and finding something with rubys. So we got them a red maple tree and a time capsule, then we spent an afternoon with them planting the tree and burying the time capsule. It was a very nice time with the family and the loved it.
What’s their location?
My parents just celebrated their 40th as well. They aren’t big into parties. My brothers and I surprised them with a framed photo collage. It included a couple wedding photos, their wedding announcement, and a recent picture of them on a cruise. The bottom of the frame was engraved "Happy 40th Anniversary, Love, [our names]. Total cost was about $130.
Given your in-laws’ likes and your budget, here’s some other suggestions:
- a nice meal with a fantastic bottle of wine or champagne
- a surprise gathering of close friends and family
- weekend getaway to a cozy bed and breakfast or resort
