25th Anniversary gifts of precious SILVER
are well deserved at this important milestone!
Traditional AND Modern
25th Anniversary Gifts:
~ The Silver Jubilee! ~
The 25th is a special anniversary indeed, with loads of silver anniversary gift choices for your anniversary couple. The finest silver is sterling, and sterling silver pieces are imprinted with a sterling mark. More affordable is silverplate, which may or may not be marked as such. You may wish to have your silver anniversary gift engraved, for an added personal touch.
Silver Proof Sets of current year U.S. coins are available from the U.S. Mint and suggest an "official commemoration" of your anniversary couple's Silver Jubilee. A silver proof set of all the coins issued in the the couple's wedding year is another well-chosen Silver Anniversary gift, which you can obtain from a coin dealer.
The special U.S. State Quarters are particularly appropriate for 25th anniversary gifts. You can find State Quarters issued in previous years at a coin dealer, and from the U.S. Mint you can get the current year quarters and add a subscription for upcoming State Quarters as they are issued.
The Silver Jubilee is a good time to add to your recipients' silverware pattern. You may wish to look for serving utensils (click, then scroll down for some interesting pieces!) that your anniversary couple might not have, even after 25 years, especially pieces designed for serving a favorite food.
Other accessories such as serving trays, barware, napkin rings, candlesticks, desk accessories, bookends, picture frames, vases and the like are 25th anniversary gifts available in many styles. Note that a "silver" mirror refers to the frame - although silver backing provides superior reflectivity (e.g., for scientific use), the glass for common mirrors is "silvered" with aluminum.
On a somewhat grander scale, two of these sterling silver candlestick lamps would be elegant 25th anniversary gifts for a couple's bedside tables. A very unusual silver anniversary gift would be this ornate high-domed silver box that comes in three sizes.
Creative thinking leads us to 25th anniversary gifts with "silver" in their names. You might plant a "silver" tree in their honor - silver linden, silver maple, or Carolina silverbell. National Arbor Day recommends Nature Hills.com as a source. There's also a plant called Silver Dollars (lunaria annua, aka Honesty or Money Plant) - with silvery seed pods that are often used in dried flower arrangements.
For something a bit different, a fine orchid planted in a silver Revere bowl will please a plant loving anniversary couple. A sterling silver candle lighter and a candle snuffer are perfect 25th anniversary gifts for any candlelight occasion. Finally, this interesting "Bidri" plate is named for the town in India where it is crafted, with inlaid silver wires. Silver inlay is also attractive on vases and boxes.
Oh, and don't forget that you can use silver Mylar to wrap your silver anniversary gift - then, no matter what the gift, you'll be observing the Silver Jubilee.
