50th wedding anniversary gift ideas

Looking for something a little more meaningful than jewellery or flowers? These golden-themed gift ideas for a 50th wedding anniversary are beautiful, sustainable alternatives that live on long after the special day has passed.

Each tree or plant you send tells a story, of time, growth, resilience and renewal, just like a couple marking fifty years of marriage. A living gift connects hearts and roots, making it a truly thoughtful choice.

What Is the Traditional Gift for a 50th Wedding Anniversary?

Gold is the traditional symbol for 50 years of marriage, representing strength, wisdom and enduring value. While most people think of gold in terms of jewellery, we believe the symbolism can take a more natural form, through golden blossoms, golden fruits or richly coloured foliage.

Here are some of our favourite golden anniversary gift ideas inspired by nature’s own treasure.

Lemon Tree Gift – £55.00

"Bought the lemon tree as a gift for my wife and it has arrived as promised in good condition. The tree is as described, so I suppose it's all down to how it's looked after now!" - Mick

Bring golden joy into the home with this delightful lemon tree. Compact and citrus-scented, it’s perfect for bright indoor spaces like conservatories or kitchen windowsills. The tree will produce fragrant flowers and golden lemons up to four times a year — a gift that keeps giving.
