Now it's an anniversary gift

Help is needed again ladies. A friend is celebrating her "leather" aniversary. Hubby is also a cyclist, suggestions for a gift?

Well maybe I'm weird, but I can't even imagine giving a couple an anniversary gift no matter if they are my good friends. I always considered that the couple could certainly celebrate their anniversary with friends, but any gift giving I see as something personal between the couple, just loving or sentimental gifts to each other. Why not just write them a lovely card?
Way too much materialism in our society...especially considering how people are struggling these days in the current economy.

Other than my in laws, no one ever gave us gifts for our anniversary. Our 25th is coming in a few years. Isn't that silver - maybe I need to prep my friends for this.

Same here. Heck, I don't even get my parents anything--partly because their unhappy marriage made for my unhappy childhood, and I still can't bring myself to celebrate it (but that's another story). Still, at most I'll say "happy anniversary" or "congratulations" to someone if it comes up. Otherwise, I just don't feel like it's mine to celebrate. If I was really close to the couple, I certainly think a nice card would suffice.

We get cards from our in-laws but nothing more. I send one to my parents and my husband's brother but not his parents because they are re-married and frankly DH has no clue when or how long. I have given a gift for a fairly significant anniversary like a 50th when a party was thrown.

I usually text message my only close friend that is married, don't want to disrupt their day too much.

I took it as she was looking for ideas for her friend so her friend could buy her husband something....

My first thought was a leather saddle. But that's just me

I can do without the holier than thou attitude, I'm well aware of the economy.

I'm not giving them a gift, I'm asking for suggestions for her.

Sorry I asked.

Don't most gloves have some leather on them? New gloves are always nice :-)
