A present that will always get good appreciation is gold or gold-plated photo album or picture frame wherein the anniversary couple can display the pictures of their special moments of togetherness. A photo frame of the style 'Then & Now' is undoubtedly a compelling idea as this provides 2 discrete display areas- one to display the picture of wedding day and the other to display the current picture of the couple.
In fact presenting a family book may also serve well. This book may include pictures of the children and grandchildren too. Personal gifts like handwritten poem or a painting by their grandchild may be simple, inexpensive yet highly effective golden wedding anniversary presents.
Individuals can present these gifts in a golden frame.
