  Glass is a versatile material that can be used to make a wide variety of items. Many artists work with glass to create unique shapes, colors and styles that cannot be replicated. If you are looking for a gift idea for a 50th anniversary, consider purchasing an item made of glass.
  
  

Glass Wind Chime

• Glass wind chimes should generally be hung indoors, due to their fragile nature. When hung in front of a window, they catch the sunlight beautifully. The way they catch the light depends on the type of glass used, such as clear, stained or recycled.
  
  

Hand Blown Glass Art

• No two pieces of hand-blown glass are the same, symbolizing the one-of-a-kind bond a couple shares. Hand-blown glass gift ideas include bowls, plates, vases, cups, candle holders and statues.
  
  

Stained Glass Window Panel

• Stained glass window panels can be custom made to fit a specific window, or purchased in a standard window size. Stained glass window art is a more affordable alternative. When sunlight shines through it, the stain glass lights up and casts a colorful glow within the home.
  
  

Glass Jewellery

• Necklaces, bracelets, anklets and earrings can all be made out of glass beads. You can purchase a piece of glass jewelery or, for a more personal touch, make it yourself. Glass beads come in many different sizes and styles and are often made out of clear, colored, recycled or hand-blown glass for various looks.
