Default Coral Anniversary Present - any ideas????

It's my parents coral wedding anniversary (35 years) on Saturday and since my brother and I are both hideous at remembering about this sort of thing, we haven't thought of a present to get them. Obviously we want to get them something that they'll love and hopefully something to do with coral in some way but we have no idea what. My dad makes jewellery so there's no point buying them any, besides we want a present that is for both of them. Our dad is diabetic and doesn't really drink so a cake or champagne are out. Our only idea so far is coral coloured flowers but again they'd be mostly for our mum.

Does anyone have any suggestions??

What about a nice picture of them both (Maybe there wedding photo?) if you have one, get blown up and framed, maybe with a coral theme to it?

Or a fish tank with coral (fake coral obv and/or some coral coloured fish?

Other than that im stuck for ideas lol

OOOOOOh...I love themed gifts! Hope you don't mind me jumping in from California

35th Anniversary Flower: None
35th Anniversary Gemstone: Emerald


35th Traditional Gifts: Coral
A trip to the tropics with snorkeling at the coral reef.
A gorgeous coral necklace.
A collectible piece of coral to keep in his office.

35th Modern Gifts: Jade
Any type of Jade jewelry. Again, jade jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings, or bracelets would work well.
And as above, jade encrusted cufflinks for him are an option.


* Many decorative items for the home and office are made out of beautiful and exotic coral stone, so try one of these ideas.

· Fill a coral stone vase full of some colorful and festive tropical flowers and send them to his/her place of work to bring some color to an otherwise dreary office.

· Coral stone bookends are wonderful additions to an avid reader’s bookshelf. Pair the bookends with a first edition print of one of his/her favorite novels or find an autographed copy of a favorite book to present to him/her.


· Have a spouse who loves playing a game of chess? Get a beautifully engraved coral stone chess set to add to his/her collection.

· If your spouse loves artwork, find a coral sculpture for your home, or commission a local artist who may work with coral to create a sculpture specifically for your spouse.


* Why not get your spouse a beautiful aquarium filled with exotic fish and coral pieces? Visit a local pet store and discuss your options with a sales representative. You will want to get a set of fish that are easy to tend, since you want your gift to be something your spouse enjoys, not something he/she dreads cleaning and tending


* Usually, you can never go wrong with jewelry, so why not be a true romantic and create your wife or husband a homemade coral stone bracelet or anklet. Find a jewelry store in your town that allows you to create your own jewelry by providing various beads and stones you can choose and design with.


* Love traveling with your spouse? Surprise him/her with a trip to the Cayman Islands located just south of Cuba. Go snorkeling off the coral reef where you can see the beautiful marine life that congregates there and soak up rays on the beautiful beaches.


* Not enough in the budget just yet to afford a trip to the Cayman Islands? Prepare for a future trip with some scuba lessons. Look through your local phone book or scuba gear shops in your town to find some affordable lessons you can take together. Many scuba lessons usually take place in a pool, so don’t worry if you are not located near a major body of water.
* Love architecture? Visit America’s version of the Taj Mahal called the Coral Castle in Miami, Florida. A man named Ed Leedskalnin for his long lost love, Agnes, built this tremendous castle single-handedly. Made entirely with homemade tools, this castle has been called an astonishing feat by many who stand in awe wondering how this one man could create a structure this immense.


For those who are looking for more 35th anniversary gifts closer to home use the colour coral to choose your gift. Bouquets of flowers, plants for the garden and beautiful coral colour ornaments all add to the theme.
