Pearl wedding anniversary gifts
The pearl wedding anniversary signifies 30 years of married life together. That’s quite some feat. But what do we give the pearl wedding anniversary couple to celebrate this landmark occasion in style?
Pearls are the obvious choice. Did you know; you can tell real from paste pearls simply by rubbing two together. If they are smooth, they are not real pearls. The Real McCoy pearl has a rough feel to it. Rub two together, and you should feel the roughness.
While a fitting pearl wedding anniversary gift from a husband to his wife would be a real pearl necklace, buying for him will prove rather more tricky. However, just getting your imagination into top gear will soon get those pearl anniversary gift giving juices flowing!
For instance, mother of pearl effect photo frames and the like make very nice alternatives for the man in your life.
Whilst aiming to give a gift in the material for that particular wedding anniversary is always special, it is not written in stone – or pearl, for that matter, that a pearl wedding anniversary gift Must Always be Pearl, to the exclusion of anything else. Anything decorated with pearls will do the job nicely.
On the other hand, perhaps you would like to give something completely different as your pearl wedding anniversary gift. Maybe you both fancy doing something special together, like going for a balloon ride, or climbing aboard the Orient Express.
Perhaps you both share a hobby. Whatever your interest, there is something out there for you, whether here or abroad.
And talking of venturing overseas; maybe a second honeymoon is more up your street. You could re-visit the old haunts of your original honeymoon destination, or try somewhere completely new. Opting to give yourselves a joint pearl wedding anniversary present is the ultimate in romantic gift giving. Or spring a surprise on your beloved. Just make sure your passports are up-to-date first!
If you want to buy a pearl wedding anniversary gift, such as the one above, for another couple, yet cannot stretch to the budget, then why not get together with family or friends, and buy a gift between you?
A group of friends or relatives might even want to get in on the action by going with their chosen couple on their romantic getaway or experience day. Some couples might actually prefer to enjoy their anniversary amid the company of good friends.
If you are totally stumped as to what to buy your pearl wedding anniversary couple, then cut to the chase, and ask them what they would like.

Driving experience days
One of the great challenges when selecting a gift for a loved one.. is how unique or special you can make it. I know from personal experience this is a contant challenge.
Don’t get me wrong, the giving experience is one that I relish, no matter what the occasion, just to see the face of the loved one or friend light up when they receive something is truly magical, and as the giver, this magic is infectious.
However, as I’m sure many of you do.. each year you send or give a gift to a friend or loved one on a regular basis, birthdays, christmas, wedding anniversaries etc.. & each year you struggle to find something bigger & better than the previous year.. (i know i do). No denying that this gets increasingly difficult & occasionally I have fallen into the gift voucher route, or even given money to some of the younger family members.
So whats the answer? well I suppose a lot of that depends on budget & how special the actual occasion is; for instance a nephew of ours (Jamie) recently turned 18, we struggled for ages looking for something that would rock his world so to say.. Like most 18yr olds, he’s into music, going to gigs.. cars, sports etc etc..
Normally the budget for a family members 18th birthday would be around £100 pounds & i’m sure 8 out of 10 times we would probably have given the cash… but as we are getting on in our years, we wanted to make sure the gift we gave him would be remembered for a lifetime!
Sounds impossible doesn’t it? how on earth do you find a gift that somebody will remember for the rest of their lives?
Well we managed it! & boy will he remember it.. we decided to push the boat out & booked Jamie & gift experience surprise from The Gift Experience Days website, now this was back in June… they had quite a selection & I must say a little too many great gift ideas for us to narrow down… but we went for the Aston Martin Experience Day at £99.00…
He was over the moon.. I mean cmon, to go & drive a £150k Aston Martin around a track has got to be a once in a lifetime thing! His experience day is due this month, so I’ll post the pictures soon..
