    Ruby wedding anniversary present suggestions

    It's my mum and dad's ruby wedding anniversary next week. Is there anything particular to this anniversary that I could get them? I'm stumped.

    Something that's 40 years old? (like a whisky or a port, for example. Though that assumes they drink). Or something that is very 1979ish. I have no idea what that might be, aside from a portrait of Ayatollah Khomeini or a mug commemorating the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

      PiL's 'Metal Box' LP in the original metal box, perhaps.

      As a related question, is it common for people other than those directly involved to be aware of such anniversaries? I never heard my parents mention their anniversary at all, and have no idea when they got married, but if my dad's attitude to Father's Day ("fucking nonsense") applied to other Important Dates, that would be consistent.

            Take them out for a Ruby Murray.

              I think I waited until my folks hit the Golden Anniversary stage before I started getting gifts, at which point commemorative glassware was the item of choice.

                  A really good red (ruby) wine.

                    are they a matching pair- could they go on the mantelpiece?

                      Brilliant thread.

                      A matching pair of ruby slippers might be nice. Not sparkly like Dorothy's, that might possibly be weird, but a deep red woolly pair.

                        Ooh, or a ruby red piece of glassware. Actually I'd like that.

                          HMU if you want to see our 'Special Anniversary' range of punk-themed ceramics and cushions.

                            Surely a singing telegram performing "Ruby" by Kaiser Chiefs would hit the spot.
