Your mom may want a nice gold necklace or bracelet. Your dad may want to replace his old watch. 

And personalizing these gifts for your Mom and Dad makes them even more special.

More inexpensive gifts would be to go for something golden in color, like a gold scarf and necktie.

If your parents are coin collectors, these are great gifts too. Other options for golden things are brooch, cuff links, rings, pendant and earrings.

Golden Scrapbook

The meaning of golden here simply means special.

You do not have to be limited by gold things for traditional 50th wedding anniversary gift ideas for parents.

  • You could put together a story of your parents' married life through pictures and notes.
  • You can make a big scrapbook project for this idea and ask the help of everyone in the family and your parents' friends for pictures of your parents from the time they were dating up to the present. 
  • The pictures could be old and faded but technology will take care of that. Make small notations on each picture quoting your sources for more authenticity. Write the notes in gold ink. 
  • Have the scrapbook hardbound in golden special paper. 
  • Make the scrapbook a labor of love. This could be a perfect traditional 50th wedding anniversary idea for parents.

Personal Canvas

If you are looking for a very personal gift, how about a canvas with key dates from the past 50 years?

You could have dates of when they met, their 1st date, when they were married, when children arrive, right up to their 50th anniversary.

There are some lovely canvas designs to buy in our Anniversary Gift Store.

Golden Family Portrait

When was the last time you and the whole family sat down for a portrait?

Why not have an informal family picture taken by a professional. Don't let your parents know that the photographer is a pro and is all set on taking candid pictures of the family to make a photo album. You can pick the most beautiful shot of the family and have it framed in gold. You can help hang the picture in your parents' house. You can also frame smaller family pictures and set them on top of a console or a piano or anywhere convenient.

Golden Family Quilt

Call all of your mom's friends who are handy with needles and together make a quilt.

  • Each patch should be done by family and friends. 
  •  You can use significant cloths for the patches to make the anniversary quilt meaningful and not just beautiful. 
  • The patches can tell a story or represent parts of your parents' married life. Make use of technology. 
  • Have your parents' images transferred into a piece of plain cloth and make that piece the center of the family quilt, you could use images from their wedding day and as they are today.
You can buy photo transfer paper at Amazon which you use in your own home printer. Then you use an iron to iron the transfer on.
  • It just shows that 50th wedding anniversary gift ideas don't have to be made of gold!
