Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary Gifts in Sydney

Golden 50th Wedding Anniversary Gifts in Sydney


By Sam Bowden

On the search for 50th wedding anniversary gift ideas in Sydney? First of all, congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone and for continuing to look for ways to make your anniversary extra special! Now, to celebrate half a century of wedded bliss, there are so many fun and romantic things to do in Sydney and experience gifts for couples, from cooking to floristry, to the Japanese art of Kintsugi and more.

Make your golden wedding anniversary gifts unique with these Sydney activities. Just because you’re not as young as you used to be, does not mean you should skip the excitement of learning something new and sharing a fun hobby with your special someone. We’ve put together a list of some fantastic date night ideas for you and your lucky partner to make the most of this momentous occasion and to celebrate the decades of love you’ve shared.  

Golden wedding anniversary gifts that twist tradition

Kintsugi

As we’re sure you’re aware, the classic offering for a 50th wedding anniversary is gold, hence the label of “golden wedding anniversary.” As the vast majority of us aren’t walking around with gold bullion in our pocket - and those that are aren’t giving them up easily - you have to get creative if you want to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary traditionally. 

Kintsugi classes tick the “gold-themed” gift box whilst still being heaps of fun and beautiful learning experience. Kintsugi is the Japanese tradition of repairing broken ceramics using gold resin instead of discarding them. This is meant to signify the life and experience of an object over its lifetime and appreciating the unique story each piece carries.

The metaphors for your gifts for couples are pretty easy to spot here but Kintsugi is also incredibly beautiful. Kintsugi pottery is one of the best experience gifts for couples of all ages looking to make something together that can add to the aesthetic of their living space. A truly unique visual feast, Kintsugi is one of the best things to do in Sydney (or where you live in Australia) to add a bit of shine to your home and a bit of Japanese culture to your day. 

Depending on the budget for your anniversary date ideas, Kintsugi Australia offers private classes for couples looking for a one day experience, or those looking to spend a little longer delving into the world of kintsugi over a few weeks. Whatever you choose, Kintsugi is a fun and quirky alternative to your standard pottery classes

50th anniversary gift ideas to keep the love going

Just because you’re fifty years in doesn’t mean the passion should be waning. Everything mellows over time but sometimes what you need to do is give it a little extra kick. And with so many things to do in Sydney for couples looking to get a little spicy, we have a few date night ideas for a pair of lovebirds looking to spread their wings. And what better time than your 50th wedding anniversary!

With a growing range of Blue Mountains workshops and experiences, what better time is there to take a relaxing getaway for your 50th wedding anniversary! The Blue Mountains is perfect if you’re searching for gift ideas for her or him that gets you away from the humdrum of Sydney, and lets you take in that fresh mountain air. With a plethora of farm stays and cottage accommodation for you to relax in, it’s the perfect little getaway to rekindle the romance. 

If you’re feeling inspired by the surrounding natural beauty of the NSW hinterland, then this relaxing outdoor floral watercolour painting class with Pamela Woods may just be perfect for you. Not only will you learn how to paint beautiful florals using vibrant colours, but you’ll also get to explore a historic, garden home and pick some seasonal flowers and leaves. It’s an incredible addition to a weekend getaway in the NSW hinterland for your golden wedding anniversary. 

If travelling and exploring the Blue Mountains gives you a bit of an appetite, then a cooking class might be more your style. Discover how to make delicious wagashi desserts at this private class in Katoomba or if you’re after something a little more savoury, stop by this Japanese cooking class and learn how to cook Tibetan vegan dumplings. A wonderful experience for any destination holiday, the Blue Mountains has so much to give when looking for gift experiences for couples chasing a romantic getaway.

Floristry classes

By your 50th wedding anniversary, it’s likely you’ve given one another many beautiful flower arrangements over the decades. While this remains the ultimate romantic gesture, maybe this year instead of relying on store-bought flowers, you can make a DIY flower arrangement at your local floristry school. There are hundreds around Australia to choose from!  

Floristry courses in Sydney are fun, relaxing and perfect for beginners. With these thoughtful experience gifts for couples, you and your partner will be surrounded by colourful, fragrant blooms and taken through flower arranging tips and tricks by a passionate teacher. Enjoy the calming benefits of playing with flowers and present your special someone with your floral creation at the end of the class.

However you choose to put the shine into your golden wedding anniversary, there are Sydney workshops for every pair of lovebirds. Fifty years is a tremendous milestone, and you should celebrate accordingly. No matter what you choose, your 50th wedding date night ideas are a chance to bring you closer and to continue to create new and exciting memories together.
