I finally thought of something we have done several times for a 50th anniversary.............

Since people that have stayed together for that long are very hard to buy for, (already have more than they need or want) we have the "Family Tree" laser engraved onto a Red Alder plaque. I custom draw a tree with foliage and branches for each person. Some have gotten very complex with faux birthstones for the Parents of the recipient, the Recipients, kids, grandkids. We usually use the Austrian crystals and laser a dot where they are to be placed then use silicone glue to hold them on. Use gold color fill on the heading to tie it into the 50th theme. It can be displayed on the wall or use an easel for table top viewing.

Even if they received a "family tree" years ago, this one will be more complete with all of the family on it.

Great idea John.

I doubt that even the person who has everything has one of those. :-)

Thank you,

David,
My wife recently made a gift for her mother that might fit. It was a large glass plate (about 13 inch across). It had a light green tint. I think she bought it at Wal-Mart for like $2.00. Then she engraved some florals around the outer rim and and nice poem in the middle of the plate. Since the rim was higher than the center, it was a two process engraving to adjust focus, but came out really nice and her mother loved it.

Just another idea for the price range.

Mike

Mike,

This has been a very informative thread with lots of good ideas. Thank you for that contribution.

I'll be talking to this customer tomorrow morning to see what she fancies.
