Flowers and an very easy dessert. If you have the money, you can buy some flowers or get them somewhere and you can buy sponge cake/angel food cake cool whip and strawberries (if they are not allergic to them) and make them dessert.
Arts & Crafts:
You can also plan to create the most cherished anniversary gift of all and create a beautiful time-line of the day or year that they were married. I have a website for you to help you do that. That will take some time. Time to put all the events from this site on nice background paper and whichever caligraphy to use and frame it. I did one for my grandparents and they really love it. It has a medium brown wood frame- gold foil border in a wavey cut- cream color to tan paper that has a torn edge border & black writing.
No need for pictures unless you really want to. Like their favorite wedding photo.
Its really beautiful and she hung it up on the wall in the family room.

Its ok that it wont be ready to give on their upcoming anniversary.
you can email me thru this profile if you have any questions. (addresses are hidden)
Try to keep in mind what "my2cents" said.
You can also do what "dudleydo" said here and sit down and have a calm talk with them.

Dear Coming4you,
You could clean the house. That would be a great surprise for your mom. And as far as losing your temper and swearing at your mother?! Wow....can't you just try taking a deep breath, and start counting the reasons you love her instead? She may annoy you, but she IS older and DOES have the experience behind her that you don't. And it sounds like she loves you, or she wouldn't do whatever it is that annoys you.
I'm truly not lecturing (although I know it sounds that way),
I just don't think that parents get their due repect these days.

Good Ideas
1- Don't curse at your parents.
2- Apologize to them for doing it verbally. Just tell them.
3- You wanna be a big girl? Act like one. Earn it. Prove to your parents you deserve it.
4- Next time you feel froggy with your parents, shut mouth, stop and think.."How would I feel if my kid talked to me that way?"
5- Tell them you love them and prove it.
6 - Open a line of communication with them. Sit down and talk with them. They were kids once. They understand more than you give them credit for. They also have experience - more than you give them credit for.
Make a booklet of homemade gift certificates. You can use the computer to do it. Using a word processing program, make out certificates for household chores. a big hug, helping in the yard, cooking, whatever... and give them as your peace offering. They can redeem them whenever they want and you gotta pay up.

Perhaps if you just sit down with your parents and tell them that you have been out of sorts recently and would like to know if they could forgive you because you will try to be more understanding of their feelings in the future. Talking is always a solution to a problem with the people you really love.

I think the giving gifts or surprises to apologize for negative actions is a bad habit.
The best way to apologize is not to do it again.
Realize you are the child , not the parent, and show more respect toward them.It's hard to say sorry when you really mean it.
LISTEN to your parents, because if they bothering you alot, then you are probably-well obviously getting out of control and they are trying to teach you and stop you NOW.
They will be the first ones you call when you need help.
Please appreciate your parents because there are many who would KILL to have someone who cares about them

My mom and I used to get into really horrible fights in which we'd both say things we didn't mean. It doesn't mean you're a bad person; it's hard when you're learning how to be independent.
I would clean the house really well. It was something my mom always felt like she didn't have time to do and something that bothered her a lot. If your parents come home to a sparkling clean kitchen with fresh smelling candles lit, it would most likely be really appreciated and would show how sorry you were.
Hang in there, and things will get better with your parents!

How about taking them out for dinner your treat and give your mom and dad a small gift. I am having the same problem u are with my elderly mom and i find myself very impatient and sometimes rude and obnoxious but i apologize and then i get her something she really wants or likes and she really knows i care about her. I also pray for patience and ask god to make me more patient ...

You should talk to them and ask them what they were like when they were your age. They probably had similar feelings toward their parents. I know I did. The older I get, the more I realize that my parents are real people and have feelings to. If you sit down discuss what about them bothers you, maybe you can come to a happy medium. You should also try and exercize in patience and count to 10 before yelling at them.

Even though you think you're not good at cooking, try the something simple. Just your effort will say a lot. Beleive me, if any of my kids surprised me with a lopsided cupcake, I'd be thrilled beacuse I'd know it came from the heart. God bless you for wanting to try to change how you act. Good luck with it.

Hug your mom and dad when they return. Explain that you are really going to try harder not to disappoint them. That will mean more to them than anything else you can do. THEN TRY HARDER! Your kids may be doing the same to you in 15 years or so. (You might even show your mom the question you posted). Good luck!
