Anniversary Gifts List by Year
Create Your Own Spin!
How the heck did this wedding anniversary by year gift list ever come into being? Who was the genius that decided you should celebrate with groceries for your 44th wedding year? How about if you shopped for those groceries in Hawaii, Paris or Rome—that sounds like fun! Paper to celebrate your first anniversary year? Hmmm, airline, concert or sport events tickets will do nicely. My nephew gave his wife a surprise vacation for their first anniversary: he whisked her away back to their honeymoon spot. What can you do with textiles for your 13th anniversary? Try satin sheets and sexy lingerie!
No matter what year you're celebrating, give your sweetheart a love letter. It's easier to write one than you think!
Put a creative spin by combining traditional and modern gifts, flowers or gemstones. A linked year leads to a page with gift idea lists for that year. A link in other columns lead to a showcase page for that material, gemstone or flower.
