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.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

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

Yeah, I actually thought you must be looking for suggestions for her since I don't buy anything for anyone. Saddles are pretty personal but then again so is marriage. Or nice new shoes?
