An anniversary gift for your mother and father
The gift that fits a parents' anniversary is a shared one: a large flower arrangement for the majlis in all the siblings' names, two small gifts, one for your mother and one for your father, or cake and chocolate for a family evening. If the siblings cannot agree on your parents' taste, choose 2 to 8 gifts together on Haddiyah; your mother or father picks the one they like and sets the time from the link, or a sibling sets it for them. It is an occasion they never celebrate themselves, so the children celebrate it for them. The ideas follow that order, from anniversary gifts for mothers and for fathers.
From all the children: a large arrangement for the majlis
The first gift for a parents' anniversary is a large flower arrangement at the head of the majlis on the day, with the children's and grandchildren's names on the card. Order it the day before so it arrives in the morning. See anniversary vases.
For your mother
Your mother's anniversary gift is something for her alone: a vase for her majlis, a perfume she wears, or a piece of jewelry if the siblings pool. See anniversary gifts for mothers.
For your father
And your father's gift is a perfume from a house he knows, or chocolate and sweets for his majlis to serve the well-wishers. See anniversary gifts for fathers.
For the evening: cake and chocolate
If the family gathers on the day, a cake cut in the evening and flowers with chocolate opened on the table. Order on the day and it arrives in the evening slot. See flowers and chocolate for anniversaries and cakes.
The big anniversary: jewelry for your mother
On the twenty-fifth or the thirtieth, the siblings pool for a piece that stays: a necklace, earrings or a set. Jewelry is delivered in Riyadh and takes longer to prepare, so order it days before the anniversary. See anniversary jewelry.
Before you send
- Know the exact year and write it on the card: 'thirty years' lands differently from 'happy anniversary'. Your mother knows the number.
- Pool the siblings for one large gift and write your names in order from oldest to youngest, with the grandchildren.
- If the siblings live in different cities, the gift reaches the parents' home in Riyadh and Jeddah with nobody travelling, and the link goes to whichever sibling lives with them.
- Order a cake for the evening on the same day, and have the arrangement arrive in the morning so it is in the majlis when everyone gathers.
