This year on your wedding anniversary, think outside the box. Stretch your imagination and give your husband or wife a unique gift that is meaningful only to them. Use the traditional and modern anniversary gift guides for help.
Year One The traditional gift for the first anniversary celebration is paper. I gave my husband a keepsake photo album of his early life. I spent a good deal of time gathering old photos of him and his family. I had pictures of his graduations and time spent with friends.
The modern gift for the first anniversary is a clock. A clock also translates into a watch. Either spouse can give each other a watch. There are gift stores that will personalize your watch with a special picture as the watch face.
Year Five - Every year that you celebrate an anniversary is special, but every fifth year is a milestone. The traditional gift for this anniversary year is wood. If your husband likes to relax in the house, buy him a comfortable recliner. On the flip side, if your wife is into home improvement, build her a marvelous deck where she can sit and watch the sun go down and the moon come up.
The modern gift idea for the fifth anniversary is silverware. A silver tea service or a set of expensive silverware for special gatherings is a nice thought for your wife.
Year Ten - The traditional gift for the tenth anniversary is tin or aluminum. If your husband is a beer drinker, give him an engraved tin tankard that he can use anytime. It may be hard, but see if you can find some tin jewelry for your wife. A necklace or a brooch with a jewel set in a tin background would be a surprise for her to receive.
The modern gift idea for the tenth anniversary is diamond. Even though diamonds conjure up common ideas, you can still find a unique gift. Buy her a charm bracelet. For every fifth year milestone that you pass, add a diamond studded charm to the bracelet.
Your husband may be a little harder to shop for when it comes to unique ideas. A diamond studded lapel pin or tie clip are both good ideas. If you didn’t have much money when you got married, replace his wedding band with one that has a couple of diamonds set in it.
No matter which anniversary year it is for you, stretch your mind to come up with a gift idea that is new and different. These are a few examples to give you an idea of which way to go. The most important thing to remember is that it is the thought behind the gift that counts.
