Traditional Gifts for a 50th Wedding Anniversary

A 50th wedding anniversary is celebrated as a golden anniversary. So it only makes sense for the 50th wedding anniversary ideas and the gifts to be centered around gold. Both traditional and modern 50th wedding anniversaries are considered golden anniversaries. Hence, we have compiled a few gift ideas revolving around gold for that special couple you know. It could be friends or family. These gifts will work for both.

Gold Jewelry
Nothing is a better and more popular for a 50th anniversary gift than some pure gold jewelry. For both of them. You can either get a pair of matching wedding bands for them or also a pair of thin gold chains that match. Alternatively, you can get a pair of gold cuff links for him and a gorgeous and ornate antique gold brooch for her. A pair of gold earrings for her and a gold bracelet for him will also be a good gift for them.

Gold Framed Wedding Picture
Another gift that you can give the couple celebrating their 50th anniversary is a photo frame. But a gold one. Get a beautiful designer gold frame and make it a little more special by doing something sweet. If you can, go through their wedding photos and find one of their favorite ones or a candid shot if you can. Make a copy of it, give it a black and white effect and have it fit the frame size. They'll love it for sure.

Gold Fortune Cookie
This is rather unconventional, but cute gift to give a couple on their 50th wedding anniversary. There are goldsmiths and jewelry stores that will make gold plated or pure gold fortune cookies, just like the actual cookies. You can ask them to either make it in two pieces or you can ask them to fit an opening in which you can insert a small piece of paper with a fortune message written on it. Be really creative with the message that you write on the paper.

Gold Plated Inscribed Pocket Watches
This is one of the most elegant gifts to give a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Get them a pair of gold or gold plated pocket watches.
