• The obligatory gift that children and grandchildren should give to the hero of the occasion is gold rings. They are a symbol of strong marital relations and a joint life equal to five dozen.
• When guests give presents, they should be showered with golden spangles. To do this, you can buy the usual New Year's rain of the desired color, cut into small pieces and sprinkle them on the heads of parents.

• The firstborn of the couple, that is, the oldest child in the family, must necessarily give the parents a handkerchief embroidered with gold threads. It is better to make this gift to order. Scarves and shawls will also look luxurious if there is no possibility to buy a scarf. In the extreme case, and a compact handkerchief. Here it is not a matter of practicality, but of the symbolism of the subject.
• Before starting the gift-giving ceremony, children should light two golden candles on the “newlyweds” table and talk about the importance of a golden wedding.

Symbolic gifts are gifts directly related to the date. They may be practical things, but always decorated with gold, or souvenirs, personifying a strong union. Examples of gifts are presented below.

Interior items, such as a vase, candlestick, photo frame. All these things must be made in golden shades. It is better to save money in advance for the purchase of a good gift, and not to take the first available frame in the nearest supermarket - after all, this is a very serious date in family life.

Silk bedding is especially popular. Real silk is a rather expensive material, it looks luxurious, but it is important to guess the size. It is better to take measurements of parents' bedding in advance, so as not to be mistaken with the parameters. It can also be a set of towels, a set for table setting and other accessories.

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

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

Only children know what exactly the parents are missing in the house.

A great gift for spouses will be a big TV. Understanding the instructions is not particularly required, but the display of TV shows on the big screen will impress the anniversaries.

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

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

• Stay on tour. It is not necessary that this was an overseas holiday. And even better if the place of rest is not far away - after all, a long flight may adversely affect the health of older people. You can send parents to a city where they have never been, but always dreamed of getting into. For example, informative trips to Suzdal, Kazan, Kirillov, Vladimir are very much appreciated by pensioners.
• Concert tickets. Perhaps in the near future in the city will be a concert of the favorite singer of spouses. Currently, tickets to a celebrity's performance are not a cheap pleasure, and it is unlikely that anniversaries can afford to buy a ticket on their own. Therefore, they will be happy about this opportunity. And if these are VIP-places, then the joys of parents will have no limits. The same applies to tickets for a performance, ballet or opera with the participation of famous artists.

If the parents already have everything and cannot be surprised by anything, then you can make a gift with your own hands. This gesture will appreciate each. Below are examples of such gifts.

You can create a photo collage from joint photos of spouses. Also here should include pictures of grandchildren and children with their families. It is good if each family member writes his exclusive wishes. In the tradition of a golden wedding is better to decorate the collage with golden paintings.

For those who own hand-made skills, it will not be difficult to sew a pair of cute animals that will personify the spouses. These can be pigeons or swans. A very original gift can be two mysterious toy wolves, huddled together. True, to avoid the sighs of some superstitious guests, it should be publicly reminded of the exemplary loyalty to each other of these animals.

An unusual gift will be paired things. You can tie the same pair of socks, robes or scarves, which the couple will wear a walk. It looks very nice from the side, and even the husband and wife themselves will catch some spirit of youth and trickery, putting on the same things.

Gifts from the daughter and son can be completely different. The main thing is for the children to present gifts whole-heartedly and offer ardent wishes to their parents, because 50 years of marriage together is a long time, and not every couple is able to reach this date.
