    Thanks for the suggestions again.
    The last one wouldn’t go down well because people would feel that I was fishing for presents for them and my mother would be mortified at the idea.

    Guess it depends on the personalities and type of family connection but I'm actually amazed as that would never have entered my head and I know the 30 or so that sent a little message through for my dad wouldn't have thought anything of it .

    You really do have your work cut out for you - I think it's a holy grail quest you are on , lol.

    Definitely. I mean, I think for my parents 40th wedding anniversary I probably got them a card and a box of chocolates! We'd never do much more than acknowledge the event in my family, never buy buy very elaborate gifts :)

    The funny thing is they are actually easy enough to but for a top, fleece. clothes, an appliances, a tool and their happy out.
    It's just with Anniversary's gifts are often very love dovey and that's just not them.
    I will just trying to think of something different for this.

    My parents or siblings, never have parties and we'd be private and we'd just swap presents amongst one another but out extended family are into it and it would just cause drama.
