OK- My husband and I are 22 and just got married in February. We grew up down the block from each other and I am very close with his parents, I love them like they were my own (my husband is a Marine and for the time we were dating and unmarried- he was all over the country but I still did every family function with his family, including sleeping over the house occasionally) Unfortunately we are now stationed in HAWAII -they are in NJ. We can not fly them out here, we can not go home for the anniversary or throw them a party (which i will be doing for 30 so we'll be home). My 17yr old BIL is still at home with them, so i can collect some photos but not much - he would have to ask for them and it would be obvious. So please, i need material ideas for gifts for them. They are pretty cookie cutter 100% IRISH, white picket fence, american flag proudly displayed outside the house, 50yrs old suburban people. (just got them a USMC throw for christmas.. so no blanket) THANK YOU!

I threw a 25th ann. party for my parents last year, and let me tell you. I put together a slide show, and it was so awesome how they felt about it all (I am an editor and videographer) I started out with the song Remember when, and then did a part on them dating, did a part on each of them, their children and grandchildren. If you are in Hawaii you should be able to find someone to create it for you, and it should be fairly reasonable price, and you can send it to them. If not let me know. Maybe you and I can work something out. Even though I am not in Hawaii or NJ. Mail and E-mail are great tools. Good luck!

The 25th is the "silver" anniversary. They probably don't need a new set of salt shakers, but maybe a nice silver frame with a picture of you & your husband would be nice...especially since you live so far away. If you found a double frame, you could have your BIL get a shot done in NJ, and have him add his to the frame before wrapping it up for you (or send the photo to you before you wrap it up).

If everyone is in town then why not have something that evening or the next day? Yes, it's two parties, but an anniversary party and a graduation party are two totally separate events that really can't be combined very well

Well, silver is often given as a gift for 25th anniversaries. But, a nice crystal vase or picture frame is also great.

I would create an album on disc for them. Include photos from over the years, see if you can get any of their friends to include their favorite songs. I would call old friends of theirs and ask them to send a video clip via email to you and include it.
