Ideas for 25th anniversary gift? In San Antonio, Texas?

Question

My folks are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary in San Antonio, Texas. I'd like to send them something as a gift, but I have no idea what. I don't want to buy them some silver thing that will gather dust in a closet - I want to get them something they'd really like. But I have no ideas! Do you?

Answer 1

You don't say if they live here or not.  But perhaps you could pay for a fabulous dinner.  there's many wonderful restaurants.  

Or a hotel stay at one of the more upscale hotels would be a great surprise.  ILa Mansion is extremly nice or the Gunter or the Emily Morgan are all fabulous.  Are they flying in?  how about a greeting from some mariachi's????  This is a very hard quesitons at 25 years most people have a lifetime of stuff so something that brings memories instead of dust I would think would be great.  

Answer 2

Here's something creative that will be appreciated and you will have fun doing:

Make up a crossword puzzle and have all the hints be personal inside moments and jokes that only you, they, and family would know about. Put it on a poster board and add some clipart and some pictures to it!

The crossword puzzle could be time consuming and a bit frustrating ... you could do the same idea with a WORDSEARCH or WORDFIND puzzle.

Put your computer skills to work! Use Excel, get clipart from Yahoo Images Search, copy them, and reformat them, use a gluestick to put on posterboard.

Use graph paper, and pictures from magazines if you are not as good on the computer, and it will give it a homemade feeling.
