This is the first Anniversary party we have been to, it's for friends of ours.

I have no idea on what kind of gift to bring, or should we just bring wine...... but they are not really wine drinkers....LOL

How about a gift card or certificate to their favorite restaurant?

A restaurant certificate would be my choice. Usually, the anniversary parties I've been to have stipulated no gifts.

What is it with people and gift cards? Every occasion someone, many ones advise a bossy gift card that requires the person to go somewhere or do something whether they want to or not.

There are all sorts of places, B&M as well as online where people sell their gift cards for a fraction of what they are worth. If Gift Cards were all that people wouldn't be getting rid them for less than their face value.

hey, ill take anyones gift cards that dont want them. LOL

i agree.....gift cards attached to some flowers or a plant or a box of chocolates.....local restaurant, sports.....baseball/basketball, movies, an "event" in the area.

if they like a certain thing, say coffee, make a good morning gift basket with coffees, teas, hot chocolate, some sweets, preserves, etc.....

Maybe some yummy pate and great crackers that you would not indulge in at home, but could be easily served and enjoyed at the party.

Since they are your friends you must have some idea of their likes and interests. I agree with sunshine, gift cards are always a great option whether it's to a store or a restaurant or for the theatre, or a musical or sporting event. Another idea is a nice card with an invitation for you to take them out to dinner or a nice lunch sometime, then it's a gift you can all enjoy together. Whatever you get them, I'm sure they will appreciate it since it truly is the thought that counts. They will probably be happy just celebrating their happy occasion with friends. Smile

Personally, I'll take all the bossy gift cards anyone wants to give me.
