Your children have already grown up and can easily do without care for some time, and you will get the opportunity to be alone, change the environment and refresh your feelings. A wedding anniversary spent away from everyone will remain in your memory forever.
- Horse rides. A very romantic and elegant surprise option would be a horse ride. Fresh air, noble animals - what can compare with this? This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in another era.

Surely, there is some musical group or performer that you are both crazy about. It’s unlikely that you often attend such events together, so don’t miss this opportunity, feel free to buy tickets and get a charge of positive emotions.
- A person who leads an active lifestyle and cares about his health will undoubtedly be pleased with a trip for two to a ski resort or sports center, where you can remember your student youth while hiking and singing around the fire.

What original gift to give to friends for a silver wedding?
Relationships with friends are usually more informal than with relatives. Friends are close not by blood, but by interests, tastes and attitude to life. A silver wedding gift for friends reflects all this.
A pair of personalized medals “For valor in family life” or a personalized cup will decorate a shelf with souvenirs. A beautifully designed and skillfully crafted family crest will show the core values of the family. A silver door bell will greet the arrival of guests with a cheerful ringing.
You can also give a plate for beating - write on it all the difficulties of family life, grievances and complaints against each other. And during the holiday, the spouses will break it to everyone’s joy. And they will drink from paired glasses, which friends will also give as gifts.
