When people first get married in their 20's they would register with a certain store that supplied ideas for a wedding gift for the couple. When you are just starting out in life you seem to need everything.
But what do you get a couple who are getting married in their 50's? They have a house and have lived together for over 10 years. They have everything they need and are not registered anywhere.
I'm not going to comment but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I recently had the same dilemma, then I thought while looking a photo of them together, I know what to do, I took the photo to an artist friend of mine and had him do a caricature of it, then had it framed, they were so over the moon, well they were to my face anyway..

I would suggest a donation to pay for a few sessions with their psychiatrist they are clearly barmy to want to give up their freedm
My Pastor and his wife who is the Church's Session Secretary (not a paid job) just got married about a year ago and they are around 70. They asked for donations to the Church's charities for their wedding gifts.

Turned out really well, no he had it back to me in a week, but other artist's can knock them out in a couple of hours, there was no rush on mine, and I gave him the artistic license.. There's apps do it but it ain't as good.. That from would look cool..

A friend was drawing me and I asked her to stick the Dreads on.. Back in '98
I once looked up online on what to give a senior citizen for their birthday and liked the idea of monthly food and snacks boxes that you get in the mail as a subscription. There are some interesting candy and snack boxes you can get from Japan and other exotic countries.
