My brain simply drained out and quite truthfully I didn’t have the remotest idea what anniversary gifts for parents should I get. It became quite stressful to come up with thoughtful gifting ideas which will surely be appreciated by my Mom and Dad. Finally, when I was almost about to give up, my parents called me and told me that they wished to travel to Europe for their anniversary and voila, I got my clue there. I planned, booked and partly sponsored their trip (I wish I had managed to fully sponsor but it went way beyond my budget). That’s when I realised occasions like these need to be planned well in advance.

Arrange for their favourite dishes and decorate the place which will surely surprise them. They would definitely like the effort that you have put in to make the party.
Have your parents always been the risk covers types? Then give them an adventure. You might get a few scowls in the beginning but they will warm up soon. However, you need to figure out what is that they have an inclination towards or you might just have an upset set of parents and money down the drain. On my adventure trips I meet so many 60 plus-year-olds and when you hear of the places they have visited and the adventures they have had you feel like a child again :). So go ahead and give them a scuba diving experience, husky ride or parasailing to each his own.
