Am I supposed to get my parents an anniversary gift?
June 11, 2011 | In: Anniversary Gifts
Is it typical etiquette to get your parents something for their anniversary? I’m 20 and still in college.

It really depends on how you were raised to celebrate anniversaries. Different cultures and even families celebrate it differently. Personally, I was raised that it was only between a husband and wife – but others I know make huge deals out of it with everyone.
If you have never gotten them a gift before, I wouldn’t worry about it, or send a simple card.

Yes – being that you are 20 years old, you are expected to acknowledge the day – if only with a card or phone call. Since you are still in school, I doubt they would be expecting a gift from you (most parents really don’t expect a gift from their children), but an acknowledgement from you of their special day is definitely called for – even if it’s just a phone call. Just let them know you remembered their day and thought of them.

I don’t think it is. Just tell them happy anniversary and leave them alone (to do you know what). That’s what I would want from everyone, a day alone with the love of my life. You’re welcome for the mental image I gave you of your parents doing it. Have a nice day.

you don’t have to. you could, it would be something sweet and semi-kind of like a “thanks for everything you did” kind of thing. i don’t know. i never got my parents anything. but, it’s more a personal choice. it’s kind of like saying thanks, and congrats for loving each other for so long. it’s almost like telling them you admire them, and that you hope to stay together and work through things like they have. but, if you never have, and you aren’t sure if you should, you don’t have to. it’s more just a personal choice. either way, they are gonna love you.

Only if it is a special anniversary (ie: 25th) and/or there is going to be a party. Other than that just send a nice card to let them know that you love them.

A nice idea for a fun and unusual anniversary gift is a Photo Collage Jigsaw Puzzle? I’m sure you have lots of photos of your parents from their marriage so a personalized gift such a Photo Collage Puzzle is a great way to bring together those memories.
Check out this website jigsaw2order.com to get some ideas. Send a collection of your parents photos from their wedding day up until today. 15-25 photos usually works best. You can also specify the words to a suitable song, poem or other words which will stand have meaning to them. Let the professional designers at jigsaw2order.com create a unique photo collage layout for your approval before making it into a puzzle. Don’t worry, you get a chance to review and approve the photo collage design before they make a puzzle. Once completed, it can be framed and put on the wall as a keepsake of the anniversary.
