Anniversary gift when you're pinching pennies?
Parents' 26th is tomorrow.
Rich's parents' 34th is Saturday.
We have a wedding to attend on Saturday.
Rich's Mom's birthday was last weekend....
Bottom line, cash is tight right now.
What can we do for the anniversaries?
Please don't say take them out to dinner- there's no time this weekend!

I always got DH's parents a cake and cut it with them/spent time with them.
They loved it!

Instead of taking them out to dinner, how about a gift card for a restaurant for them to go alone? It would probably cost less too.

What about sending flowers or a plant is nice because they last longer. A bottle of wine or champagne?

Re: Anniversary gift when you're pinching pennies?
Just an idea.... what about having their wedding pictures blown up on canvas? I've read good things about Winkflash and think that they're not expensive.

That's a thoughtful gift too.

Re: Anniversary gift when you're pinching pennies?
Rich's parents don't have a wedding pic - it disappeared years ago and no one can find it. 
His Dad just celebrated a milestone birthday recently and had a party....sooooo they have $900 worth of restaurant GCs sitting around the house now.
I forgot - Barbara took pics of my siblings and me and I bought a collage frame - gotta love Kohl's - under $20! I'm making a cake too, so i guess that's good for MY parents....
but still stumped on his.
They're older, they don't drink wine or champagne....they go to vegas and mohegan sun a lot (always comped), but other than that, no interests.

Re: Anniversary gift when you're pinching pennies?
its really hard when someone has no interests.
They buy themselves everything...the only thing that I know of that they could use is a new tv, but its way out of budget.

Re: Anniversary gift when you're pinching pennies?
We just do cards. Does that help? Actually I would get a bulb for every year they've been married, and say that can plant it and watch it grow like their love. awwwwwww

Re: Anniversary gift when you're pinching pennies?
you know what? I'm going to get a nice card, make a cake, and bring it over on Saturday (the actual anniversary) between the church ceremony, my brother's h.s. homecoming, and the reception. If Rich wants something extra, he's going to have to come up with it.
ahhh what a weekend.

A set of DVDs of movies or TV shows they like?
