10th anniversary gift for friend ideas..........

[marshallandcartersmo]

Budget minded of course
My dear friend is having her 10th wedding anniversary next week. She's the kind of friend that makes you rice casserole when you've been sick for the past 2 days (she just showed up with it today), and I'd like to do something nice for them. They are going away for the weekend, without their kids, and I thought it would be fun to send something for them to take.........or maybe not??? I thought a nice bottle of champagne but she doesn't drink, or a gift card to a restaurant, but that's so impersonal. Ideas??

Is she at all interested in cooking? You could get her a nice set of pans or pots or something. If she's good at it, then it's a plus for her hubby too! It doesn't have to be a huge set, sometimes just a few nice pieces are great. Incidentally, aside from diamonds, tin and aluminum are the traditional 10th anniversary gifts, so here are a few aluminum cook sets that aren't too expensive.

Personally, I always covet good cookware.

Hi,
I just attended an informal 10 year anniversary party.

I put together a pretty (and fairly inexpensive) gift that seemed to be a big hit!

I purchased a pretty wicker basket (on the idea of a picnic basket) inside I arranged - a bottle of wine (you could use sparkling cider) 2 wine glasses (purchased at Homegoods - very inexpensive) some Yankee candle votives inside glass holders, a box of cholcolates and a "romantic" movie (I think it was "Sleepless in Seattle"). I then wrapped the whole basket in celophane and put a big bow on top!

Everything they need for a "romantic" evening and not too expensive!!!

Good Luck!
