<p>Alternate idea which cost almost nothing in $ and cents. The best gift I ever gave was to a friend I’d had for … ahem… 50 years on her 54th birthday. I took a beautiful blank journal book and made a title page “50 Memories for 50 years.” Each page was a different memory from our childhood, teen years, after we’d met our husbands and done things as couples, of our parents… Some were funny, some poignant, random order - just as the thoughts came to me.</p>
<p>Pages at the end were left blank for the “next 50 years.”</p>
<p>Since you are so close and - if you know the fiance well also - you could do something similar. They will get nothing else like it. You could also include photos.</p>
