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.

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.
