Posted by It is a huge success to have completed 25 years of togetherness because to come this far in a marriage needs uninterrupted love, patience and a feeling of ‘being one’ throughout the journey.
Moreover, a wedding that has stood strong for 25 years, and will continue to do so, deserves to be celebrated, for hitting that silver jubilee!
Just as the silver glows, the celebration should also display radiance and glory. The gifts too, which are an important part of any celebration, should run parallel to the theme of glory. They have to be as radiant as your partner.
However, over the years, exhaustion of ideas while gifting is quite natural. To help you overcome this exhaustion, here’s a specially curated list of things you can do and gift your loving partner to celebrate your 25 years of togetherness!
1. A Romantic Gift Box Full of Red Roses
The OG gift that never disappoints is a pretty box of romantic red roses. This could be one of the few gifts that you pair with, to make your partner feel special.
If you want, you can also experiment with the number of roses; 25 roses for 25 years, for instance. Or perhaps, you can choose a number that has some secret importance in both of your lives.
2. Wedding Anniversary Cards
Many professional services in our country have standard gifting options for your special occasions, and what better way to let your partner know your feelings than through a specialised 25th-anniversary card.
Different cards have different messages from which you can choose the one that feels closer to you. Generally, there is some space left open in the card where you can add your personal message that makes your partner smile wide on your special day.
3. A Gold Locket
A gold locket is one such gift that will stay with your partner forever, reminding them of you every time they look at it.
When it comes to lockets, you have several options to choose from. For example, you can go for oval shaped lockets that open like a book and put a miniature version of any photograph of your choice.
While this is an expensive affair, the act of buying this kind of gold will stay alive for years, and the generations to come can remember their father and forefathers just by looking at it.
4. A Romantic Getaway
If you have exhausted your list of ideas that suggest material gifts to give your partner on the 25th anniversary, a romantic getaway is the solution.
Instead of buying things for your partner, you can actually gift them an experience that they will remember for the rest of their life. Here the idea of a romantic getaway is perfect because you can plan your trip according to the choices of you and your partner.
Whatever your partner likes, mountains or beaches, a romantic getaway is a one-stop solution for all!
5. Home Appliances
If you’re thinking of giving a home appliance to your partner, then a coffee making machine can be a perfect gift.
With this gift, you can brew that morning coffee for each other and talk about the things to be done throughout the day. So why not express your love for each other by brewing fresh coffee in the morning, and sipping the same with them?
You could also think of other appliances that involve both you and your partner working together to curate your favourite dishes; this is sure to bring you two closer together on this special occasion.
6. Frame The Vows
The completion of your 25 years calls for remembrance and standing true to the promises that were made when you said ‘I Do’ for the first time.
This occasion is an opportunity to remind each other to be kind and promise to stay the same by looking at the framed wedding vows you said to one another 25 years ago.
7. Virtual Cooking Lessons
Food brings people together, and what better way in this lockdown to spend some time together than taking a virtual cooking class with your partner.
Indulge in full-fledged cooking in the kitchen with your spouse, make mistakes, burn that butter and laugh the day off. You will either end up with a delicious meal or with a takeaway; either way, you will remember the day for the rest of your life!
To Sum Up
There are plenty of options out there, depending on your budget to celebrate your silver jubilee. Sometimes, simple acts of kindness towards your partner for the entire day is enough celebration. Those who believe in grand gestures, however, can plan their special day accordingly.
The point here is to have a fond remembrance of the day and to enjoy each and every moment with your other half, while making one another feel on top of the world on that special day!
