25th Wedding anniversary gift

08:46

So......I've seen maps cut into hearts to represent places that are close to your heart. (I know, grammar is terrible in that sentence, and this one too....rearrange them in your head).

I made myself framed map hearts for where Dus and I met, married and honeymooned and got him to hang them on the wall. More on that another day, it's too much of a drama. Apparently I find it incapable to hang things randomly.

Anyway, so we were off to help Dusbands' aunt and uncle's 25th wedding anniversary to begin our two week break and I had a lightbulb moment for their gift. I asked Dus' aunt for a few places that were special to them and she came back with them for me. I love people who are completely in the dark about why you need info and yet still give it to you, thank you Fiona!

Anyway, so I cut the map hearts out and popped them in a simple black frame for them.



They met at Durham university
Honeymooned in Zimbabwe

I had to look up where Namibia is....oops! They had a memorable holiday there

Morfa Nefyn means a lot to them both
So, that's their hearts. They were really pleased with it and I wrapped it up nicely in brown paper and lace and made a little lace brooch to decorate it.



So there we are, if you're struggling with what to get for silver wedding anniversaries, make it personal!
