Anniversary Gift

60th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee, My parents will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. My brother and I want to give them a big party with family, friends, neighbors, and church members, but they don't want one. Should we honor their request, or give them a "surprise"? Also, what would be a good gift? My brother and I want to give a joint gift from both our families. My husband and I can afford to send them on a two-week cruise, but my brother cannot contribute that much. My brother wants us to pay equally. What should we do? Signed, Compromise? Dear Compromise, The 60th wedding anniversary is very special indeed. However, you should honor your parents' request to not have a party, and honor your brother's request to share in a gift for them equally. Instead, have a family celebration or dinner with just the immediate families. Although the 60th wedding anniversary is diamonds, you do not have to get them a gift of diamonds. Any gift for a special birthday is also appropriate for wedding anniversaries. One of the most often cited cherished gifts is a memory photo album composed of photos and special remembrances of their marriage. For example, the photo album could have crystal rhinestones glued on the front to simulate diamonds, and contain something like the following: 1. Photographs of the highlights of their 70 years together. Enlist the help of other family and friends to get copies of photos. Include their wedding photo, photos of children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, friends, vacations, and other special moments over the 70 years. 2. Written tributes: Close family members and friends write a short tribute to your parents and include a funny or touching anecdote. Intersperse these tributes throughout the album. For friends, ask them to include information such as how long they've known one or both of your parents, how they met, and their first impression. 3. You can request a special congratulatory note be sent to your parents from the President of the United States (if a U.S. citizen). Be sure and request this well in advance (at least 6 weeks). See www.whitehouse.gov 4. Historic news headlines, popular songs, and movies on the day of their wedding. Greeting card shops often have these "time capsule" sheets that can be printed out. Or, you can design your own using info from the Internet or from websites. Some helpful websites are: http://www.dmarie.com/timecap/ http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/index.html http://www.infoplease.com/cgi-bin/dayinhistory In addition to the album, or if you've already given them something similar recently, then other suggestions for a gift are a weekend trip to a special place they've always wanted to visit, a nice dinner to their special restaurant, or gift basket full of their favorite items and special items that they feel is too extravagant to buy. Depending on your parents' interests and limitations, other gift ideas could be an amplified, large button telephone or a computer so that they could email all family members.

E-mail this guide to a friend Mario Party 5 Availability: Currently unavailable Super Mario 64 Buy new : $29.99 Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 business days Nintendo DS Buy new : $129.95 Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See all products Okay, now with this christmas coming so quickly, parents are probably wondering what to get your boys for christmas. This is a list featuring toys for boys of different ages. The age range is mainly between 6 and 17. (However I have a 22 yr. old brother and know that his 19-24 yr. old friends also play video games and stuff lol.) Okay so I'll list some gift ideas for any boy and you decide which ones you think are what the boy your getting the gifts for would want. (P.S. I'm also going to write a girls list next so look for it please!)((Oh yes and GIRLS may like some of these toys as well!) P>S> some of the game cube and playstation 2 games also are made for all the systems, computer, Xbox, Game Cube, and Playstation 2, Game Boy Advance, and Nintendo DS (So if your kid doesn't have the system needed to play the games below, but has another gaming system, look up these games' titles except under their game system and see if they have one of these titles for that system.) BY THE WAY the NINTENDO DS plays GAME BOY ADVANCE GAMES and GAME BOY ADVANCE GAMES WILL STILL BE MADE!!! The price of the GAME BOY ADVANCE SP will go down and will still be a great gift because GBA games are still going to come out because Nintendo DS games are harder to make and are more expensive most-likely...as is the Nintendo DS!!! 'Sharper Image Signature Series Robosapien - Chrome (WW250CHR)' 'Sharper Image Signature Series Robosapien - Metallic Blue (WW250BLU)' 'Mario Party 5' (Mario party 6 is about to come out though so get Mario Party 6 instead because it's coming out like 3-5 weeks before christmas!) IMPORTANT: look for the games ratings located on the bottom left corner of the game! : E = everyone (6 and up) T = teen (12 and up) M= mature (16 and up) and any other rating is...not going to be listed here that's for sure! Basically any other symbol you see (and even some M symbols) are similar to rated R movies and BEYOND rated R movies....liker the next rating up after R) ~I also encourage you to look for similar items as these because some have products made for age ranges like the zipline...they have different titles for those.

Seventy-five percent of respondents in the survey plan to attend one to three weddings this year. Online wedding gift purchases has increased one percentage point since last year. Thirty-four percent of respondents have, or will, purchase wedding gifts through online retail channels. Gift registries remain strong, but experienced a six-point dip from results last year. "Consumer behavior indicates that the Web continues to be a popular channel for wedding gift shopping," said Marc Silverberg, Claria's senior director of marketing. "Analysis shows that more than a third of wedding site viewers purchased wedding gifts online with 80 percent buying their gifts from the bride and groom's registry." Retailers with the highest traffic were Target.com (39.6 percent); BedBathandBeyond.com (25.6 percent); and CrateandBarrel.com (13.9 percent). Sears.com had the highest number of repeat viewers to its registry, the average viewer returned to the site 4.1 times during a research period. Belk.com averaged 3.6 visits, and BedBathandBeyond.com visitors returned 3.1 times. Not all gift-givers are be wedding attendees. Sxty-five percent typically buy gifts for all couples who invite them to a wedding, 30 percent only purchase gifts for weddings they attend. Purchase price disclosed by 60 percent of respondents averaged $26 to $75. A group of 48 percent of respondents indicate they will personally purchase a wedding gift in the next three months. Of those, 43 percent say they will buy online, while 83 percent plan to purchase a gift requested in the bride and groom's gift registry. The survey group was selected from Feedback Research's parent company Claria's GAIN Network. The group consisted of users within the GAIN Network who viewed wedding-related sites, including e-tailers and gift registries. Traffic was recorded and analyzed from March 20 to June 20 of this year. A random sampling of in-market consumers was surveyed to find out how they were shopping and using the Internet for wedding-related activities. print this article | e-mail a colleague ClickZ ClickZ Stats Archives Don't miss the next ClickZ Stats column.
