Your parents have likely had their share of comical moments together over the years. Gift them with items that will encourage them to keep on laughing. Matching T-shirts with funny phrases can be gifts for the each of them, such as "Still Putting Up With Each Other After 50 Years." Alternatively, get a professional caricature created from an old photograph of your parents. Frame it and give them a kick at their exaggerated features. Consider customized bobbleheads or cake toppers, too.

Surprise your parents by paying for a romantic getaway. Perhaps you can send them on a weeklong vacation to where they spent their honeymoon 50 years ago. Your parents can appreciate recreating all the special moments they had the first time they were there. Another idea could be to send them to a desired destination that they mentioned in a conversation you had with them.

Find out information about the beginning stages of their relationship. Present them with gifts to retrace the steps of their first date if the places still exist. A gift certificate to the restaurant or diner they ate at can be perfect to recreate the first meal they shared together. Also, give them the gift of the same type of entertainment they enjoyed after dinner.

A 50th anniversary usually incorporates gold and gold jewelry is an ideal present. Think a gold watch or cuff links for your dad and a gold necklace or bracelet for your mom. Consider having the jewelry engraved with their names or with a special anniversary message from you.
