• Traditional and creative gifts for a 25th anniversary should come in sterling silver, which is why it's called the "silver anniversary." Celebrating this milestone typically includes a party with family, friends and gifts. Coming up with the perfect gift for a couple who is already well-established may take some time to find something they'll love or can really use.
  
  

Jewelry

• Sterling silver jewelry is fitting for the silver anniversary. Though jewelry gifts are typically given to a partner to celebrate 25 years of marriage, friends and family can also purchase jewelry for the couple. Give engraved silver bands for the couple to use in a vow renewal ceremony, or consider sterling silver jewelry that also incorporates the 25th anniversary gemstone, emerald.
  
  

Keepsakes

• Sterling silver keepsakes or knickknacks provide another way to stay within the literal "silver" tradition. Traditional gifts would include champagne flutes with sterling silver stems or engraved matching key chains or a wine accessory kit. For a more personalized gift, have a mold made of the couple holding hands, then cast it in silver. Or order 25 roses or irises preserved in silver. (Avoid keepsake items for a couple who doesn't display much decor in their home or is trying to cut down on clutter.)
  
  

Practical Gifts

• For practical gifts, choose items that represent the couple but can still incorporate silver, such as an embroidered quilt or blanket featuring the couple's names and anniversary date for a couple who enjoys snuggling together. Attach silver rings or tassels to the corners to incorporate silver. Other gifts include kitchen stainless steel appliances or electronics.
  
  

Destination Gifts

• Send the couple on a trip to visit the "Silver State" of Nevada; Silver City, Idaho; or Silver City, New Mexico. Include 25 silver dollars to spend on the trip. Buy tickets for the anniversary couple to tour an old silver mine. Book a SilverSea cruise aboard the Silver Whisper. Or collect silver coins that were minted during the year of the couple's wedding or from every place the couple has traveled to or plans to travel to.
  
  

Large Items

• If your budget permits or you have a large number of people contributing to the silver anniversary gift, buy a new silver car, boat, motorcycle or recreational vehicle.
