Anniversary Gift Ideas

[gracie1]

Hi all! I am hoping you all can give me some great anniversary gift ideas for a couple who are friends of mine (more like adopted grandparents) for their
60th wedding anniversary!
I have been looking for ideas online, and it says you really shouldn't do knick knacks and things of sort because at that age most are destashing.
So what ideas does the dis board have??
Their outdoorsy people, love the beach (own a place on the water), and like traveling. However, I can't afford to send them on vacation or anything!!

my dmil turned 90 a few years back and she is awfully proud of the scrapbooks a niece made for her.

After 60 years, separate vacations!

Seriously, how about a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant? Are they still able to get around OK?

I am definately leaning towards a gift certificate for their anniversary. But was curious as to what other ideas were.
On the separate vacation, they just did that 2 years ago! Hubby sent the wife, daughter and granddaughters to italy for 2 weeks!

Something fun for the beach? New beach bag with towels, underwater camera, or other fun things? New beach chairs?

How close are you to them? One thing I got my folks for Christmas was a Kodak Pulse digital picture frame. You register the frame online and then you can send pictures to an email address and the pictures get downloaded to the frame. It's pretty cool, but they may need help setting itup.

I like the dinner gift certificate idea too. If they have a favorite restaurant, make a nice card and put it inside and tell them to enjoy a nice date together!
