Congrats! I love to hear people say they've been married long, it's so heartwarming after all the divorces that you always hear about.
The traditional gift for the 25th is silver.
The modern gift is diamond.
For the silver, maybe some silver jewelry, a new set of flat wear, picture frames, a vase, etc... Try the store "Things Remembered" for some really great gifts. They personalize things and have tons of silver for weddings and anniversaries. If you don't have one near you, you can buy on line.

For diamonds, go with the diamond anniversary ring, also called a 3 stone (past, present, future). If they are out of your price range, check eBay and discount sites. You can also try pawn shops and the classifieds in your local paper. I know it sounds tacky, but there are many people out there selling rings and jewelry that is in perfect condition due to financial trouble or the relationship is over and they don't want the memories.
It all depends on what your wife is like. If she's not crazy about jewelry, then go with the silver mementos. If she loves jewelry, try to find a 3 stone in your price range. Use your best judgment here, you know her better than anyone after so long.

Happy 25th! How long is it to your anniversay? Do you have time to plan a renewing your vows? I love when couples renew their vows. If you don't have time to do that, take her on a second honeymoon. Even if it's just for a weekend. Take her a bed and breakfast or make reservation for the honeymoon suite.
A 25th is a milestone, and I think that it should be celebrated with something special. The ring idea that everyone is suggesting is a wonderful idea, but when I hit 25, I wanted something more than just jewerly. I wanted a special night with my husband, and here is wanted I would have loved...
You asked her for a dinner date, take her to her favorite resturant, and have flowers and a lovely dinner. If she loves to dance take her dancing, and then leave to go "home" but you won't be taking her home. You go to the hotel or bed and breakfast, and have the room all ready with romantic candles and rose petals on the bed and floor. You have a beautiful nightgown lying across the bed. A bottle of wine or champaigne chilling, and just have a romantic night together. That's what would have been a 25th dream come true for me.
If you have time to plan a surprise party, get help from family and friends, this is what I did to help my Dad for him and my Mom,. They had been married at home, with no frills and bows, so I ordered them a wedding cake with the works, and toasting glasses, she was so surprised. They renewed their vows surround by their kids, family and friends. It was beautiful, and my Mom, just had fits over it.....Daddy took her out to eat before hand, so she dressed in her dress, that I gaven her as a 25th gift, it was ivory...so she was a bride and got to walk down the aisele. My brother walked her down the aisle. It was a good day, and Mom and Dad had a "wedding" to remember.
So, sweetie what ever you do will be fine. But please give it some thought and you will do just fine......
God bless us all...........

If it were me, I would want my husband to plan a private get away either at a secluded cabin, or a spa where we could spend our time being drunk on champagne, talking, laughing and being proud of ourselves for making it. I would like some sort of jewelry, depending on what I already had. If I've always just worn a gold band, then a pretty anniversary ring would be nice. If I'm already wearing the rock of Gibraltar, then a simple locket with our wedding picture in it would be sweet.
You're at the age where you have way too many "things" and really the only important "thing" is your relationship.
Just to be sure though, ask your eldest daughter, if you have one, or daughter in law if they have a good relationship. Or her favorite sister or best friend. If she's expecting something in particular, you don't want to screw up.

Forget the traditional silver that signals a 25th anniversary. Instead, take her on a short cruise. You both deserve to be pampered after 25 years of marriage.
And, Happy Anniversary!

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/dHbcQ
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

25 years??? First of all congratulations!
How about renewing your vows, nothing says I still love you 25 years later more than asking her to marry you again! She'll love it. An intimate ceremony with close friends and family? It's romantic and she'll have even more great memories of your marriage. If you really wanna splash out you could even have a second honeymoon!

CELEBRATE because the divorce rate is disheartening... I give you props for making it. It is encouraging to see people still finding the committment in marriage....
ANYWAY..... Get her a past-present-future ring.. The ones with three stones. You don't have to get anything too big, so it won't cost too much. Talk about how happy you are to be with her and how you have made it through ups and downs... and how you want the future to get even better than it already is.. Marriage gets sweeter with age! :)
Congratulations.. Couples like you really give me hope! :)

Some amazing silver jewellery - with diamonds, if you can swing it. A special ring would be awesome as a keepsake, but also a necklace, earrings, or bracelet - or a set!! If you can't afford diamonds, go for plain silver - or Austrian crystal.

A nice piece of jewlery or perhaps a romantic get away - a NASCAR race, camping trip, cruise - what ever kind of trip you both want to take or a weekend at a nice hotel - visiting tourist stuff. Or maybe a poem you wrote and have it matted and framed.
