5 Gifts for Mom and Dad’s Anniversary

Oh dear, it’s that time of the year where you have to celebrate mom and dad being together since forever. Apart from having to listen to how they met for the 13millionth time, you also have to buy them a fitting gift. Finding the right one can be as hard as asking mom whether you can go to the movies.

Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a list of gifts you should buy your mom and dad for their upcoming big day.

1.        Give that couple a bells

Being married for many years takes plenty of commitment, and your parents being together for so long is a testament of their endearing. If they’re the type to watch the sun go down on the porch, you should think of getting them a bottle of Bells brandy in a basket filled with other tasty treats. Watch them as they enjoy their sundowners while nibbling on Belgian chocolate for mom and dry wors for dad.

2.       Breakfast in Bed

They’ve been cooking for you since you were in young, so it’s time to show them some love by cooking up a storm – try not to burn down the house. Make them breakfast while they’re still asleep and surprise them by serving it while they’re still in bed. Although it’s your parent’s day, they’ll really feel loved, knowing that you’re happy they’ve been together for so long.

3.       Framed Wedding Picture

Some of your parent’s wedding photos are relegated to photo albums that seldom get opened unless your grandmother is around. Instead of letting those images gather dust or warp, you should have them framed and hang them around the house on the day of their anniversary. If you have time and are sneaky enough, place one right on the bed side so that they can wake up to it.

4.       Anniversary Celebrations

With such a busy day, mom and dad may not have time to plan something special for their anniversary. However, this doesn’t mean they shouldn’t celebrate. While your parents are at work, slaving away, you should think of inviting all their close friends and family over for a surprise party. If you have enough budget, maybe consider buying them a cake as well.

Your parents will glow with joy when they see the effort you’ve made into make their day a memorable one. And maybe, just maybe, you might be able to go to the movies if you play your cards right.
