Interior items such as a vase, candlestick, photo frame. All of these things should be done in shades of gold. It is better to save up funds in advance to buy a good gift, and not take the first frame that comes across in the nearest supermarket - after all, this is a very serious date in the life of a family.

Silk bedding is especially popular. Real silk is a rather expensive material, it looks luxurious, but it is important to guess the size.

The tea service will look very beautiful, in the design of which there are golden shades. However, in this case, you need to make sure that the parents do not put the gift away in the closet. The fact is that dishes are a fairly common gift, and, perhaps, over 50 years of marriage, the spouses have already been presented with many sets. There are families who collect beautiful crockery, displaying the most beautiful sets in a prominent place. A golden tea set presented on such a memorable day will certainly become one of them.

Most likely, both spouses are already over 70 years old, and at this age they rarely buy something new for their house. In addition, children need to take care of the health of their elderly parents. The options for useful gifts are described below.

Only the children know what exactly the parents lack in the house.

A great TV set will be a great gift for spouses. You don't really need to understand the instructions, but showing the series on the big screen will impress the heroes of the day.

It is necessary to think about the health of the heroes of the occasion and present them with modern medical equipment, which they themselves will not buy. For example, a tonometer of the latest model, an orthopedic mattress, a certificate for a massage or a voucher to a sanatorium will do.

In old age, spouses are less likely to leave the house, but if their health allows, then you can give them the opportunity to take a break from everyday problems.

• Tour package. It doesn't have to be an overseas vacation. And it is even better if the resting place is not far away - after all, a long flight can negatively affect the health of the elderly. You can send your parents to a city where they have never been, but always dreamed of getting. For example, retirees value educational trips to Suzdal, Kazan, Kirillov, Vladimir.
• Concert tickets. Perhaps, in the near future, a concert of the beloved pop singer of the spouses will take place in the city.Currently, tickets for a celebrity performance are not cheap, and it is unlikely that the heroes of the day will be able to afford to buy a ticket on their own. Therefore, they will be glad of this opportunity. And if these are VIP seats, then there will be no limit to the joy of parents. The same goes for tickets to a show, ballet or opera featuring famous artists.

If the parents already have everything and it is impossible to surprise them with anything, then you can prepare a gift with your own hands. This gesture will be appreciated by everyone. Below are examples of such gifts.

You can create a photo collage from joint photos of spouses. It should also include pictures of grandchildren and children with their families.

For those who have hand-made skills, it will not be difficult to sew a couple of cute animals that will personify the spouses. These can be pigeons or swans. Two mysterious toy wolves huddled together can become a very original gift. True, in order to avoid the sighs of some superstitious guests, one should publicly recall the exemplary fidelity of these animals to each other.

Pair items will be an unusual gift. You can knit the same pair of socks, bathrobes or scarves that the couple will wear for a walk. It looks very nice from the outside, and the husband and wife themselves will become infected with a certain spirit of youth and cheating, putting on the same things.

Gifts from a daughter and a son can be completely different. The main thing is that the children give presents from the bottom of their hearts and say sincere wishes to their parents, because 50 years of marriage is a huge time, and not every couple is able to reach this date.
