Shop Around for Wedding Anniversary Gifts
There's a list of traditional wedding anniversary gifts that
should be given each year. Although many couples find these
traditional items a little dull, there's still a lot of "old
fashioned" couples that follow this list on an annual basis.
Whether you're a modern couple or an "old fashioned" couple, you
have to admit that some traditional wedding anniversary
gifts are a little odd. If you're confused by our term of
'traditional wedding gifts,' we're referring to a traditional
gift list that many couples follow on an annual basis.
For instance, according to this traditional list, a newly wed
couple's first year anniversary gift should be...are you ready?
Paper. Well, that's simple enough. We'll take money! If only men
read into things like us women do. Instead, traditional men
usually opt for cards, magazine subscriptions, personalized
journals, engraved albums, and memo pads. Sounds a little
boring, doesn't it? If you're snoring at the idea of those gifts
than you're definitely more of a contemporary person.
Nevertheless, you can always give or receive a gift certificate
as a traditional first anniversary gift. It's paper, and you can
purchase anything you want with it. Now that doesn't sound so
bad, does it?
Despite many couples' admiration of these traditional gifts, we
advise modern couples not to get caught in the traditional gift
trap. While that may sound harsh, we realize that the times are
changing. If paper didn't sound like an odd enough gift to you,
try the second year anniversary gift of...cotton. Yes, cotton.
You can almost see the scenario unfold before your eyes. "Just
what I wanted, a pillow!" Yikes. Sometimes being non-traditional
has its advantages. There are no guidelines to follow. Anything
and everything is open
for consideration as a gift.
An excellent anniversary gift idea is a photo album. While it
may not sound very appealing, consider a solid finished wood
album with your family name engraved upon the cover, or "our
family memories." The album doesn't have to contain photographs.
It can be a scrapbook of your finest memories. Ticket stubs from
years ago when you and your spouse were "dating," a token from
your wedding, images of your children. You can fill an album
with anything. Just remember to be creative.
There's a number of gifts that can say "I love you" on your
anniversary. Roses, cards, chocolates, and jewelry are all gifts
that express remembrance of your special day. But liven it up a
little! Try wrapping the gift yourself. Add something funny to
the card. Show your spouse that it wasn't a purchase which
required little effort. It was something that you thought about
in advance. Presentation is a very important aspect in gift
giving.
Forget about paper, cotton, and traditional gifts; unless of
course, you want to receive a box of Q-Tips for your
anniversary. That's a scary thought, isn't it? But here's the
point: There's not supposed to be a set of gift related rules!
Anniversaries are meant to be celebrated, not dreaded. Use your
imagination and surprise your spouse every year. Buy or make
something that you know your spouse will adore. It'll show that
you've put some thought into your gift. Remind them why they
fell in love with you, and they'll do it all over again.
