Question:
Hello Sally. My parents will have been married 40 years in a few month
time. I've bought all the usual wedding anniversary gifts over the years,
but would like to do something different for them this time. Any ideas?
Answer:
How does one even comprehend the meaning of 40 years in love with one
person, sharing lives together, through thick and think, through ups and
downs? What token, what 40th wedding anniversary gifts can possibly convey
the full meaning of love, and not sound cheesy and incomplete? It was this
question which occupied my mind as I thumbed listlessly through catalogues
of gifts for 40th wedding anniversary, looking for the perfect symbol of
my affection for my parents.
Be pampered, take helicopter, balloon and aircraft
flights, feed the big cats, drive a Ferrari, rally car or a tank,
white water rafting, scuba diving, boating, surfing, gliding, micro
lighting, parachuting, skydiving, or bungee jumping. Take lessons in
pole dancing, cookery, circus skills or be a pop star, London Eye, tea
at the Savoy, dinner for 2, shows and much more....
Give the gift of eXhilaration...

Many of the 40th wedding anniversary gifts were the standard fare –
hand blown glass, some of it really quite beautiful. Oil lamps,
necklaces, wine flutes. God, in light of the momentous weight of the
occasion, it all seemed like such meaningless junk. All the pretty
sparkly things just made me feel dizzy and irritated. I needed
something better for my 40th wedding anniversary gift. These wedding
anniversary gift catalogues were doing nothing but giving me a
headache.
Like all presents, I decided that 40th wedding anniversary gifts are
best when made by hand from the heart. This is tough if you happen
to have no craft or artistic skills, but fortunately, mine has been
a life of working with my hands. I can paint, carve, sculpt, and
even do a bit of carpentry. I've become a jack of all trades and,
now a master of a few. So I decided that all the 40th wedding
anniversary gifts in those catalogues and internet sites, no matter
how meticulously crafted, would be worthless compared to a token of
my true affection to my parents.
Instead of getting them just one thing, I decided to make my parents
several 40th wedding anniversary gifts which would all share the
same theme of the love I felt for them. The first gift was a
handmade card, drawn in calligraphy, and containing in the middle a
picture of the two of them standing together, very young and very
much in love when they first began courting all of those years ago.
The other 40th wedding anniversary gifts were each made of different
materials. One was a wooden carving which duplicated, as precisely
as it could, a figurine which they used to own until one of the kids
accidentally knocked it off of the shelf years ago. Another was made
of sea glass which I had saved from our honeymoon trip to the
Bahamas. Finally, the last and finest of the 40th wedding
anniversary gifts was made of stone in the shape of two tablets
inscribed with their wedding vows, a touching reminder of the
eternal bond which they share.
If none of the above suggestions appeal to you,
and your parents are fit and healthy, have you ever considered an exciting day out
that they can share
together? How about white water rafting or a balloon or helicopter
flight or perhaps a romantic afternoon tea for two at the Savoy or a
gentle ride on the London Eye?
