Message In A Bottle
Make your love letter
a work of art!
How did this wacky wedding anniversary by year gift list 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. How about returning to your honeymoon spot? What can you do with textiles for your 13th anniversary? Satin sheets and sexy lingerie will spice it up nicely!
Put a creative spin by combining traditional and modern gifts, flowers or gemstones. A linked year leads to a page with gift ideas for that year. A link in a column leads to a gift page for that material or gemstone. Browse through any anniversary year to find more celebration and gift ideas.
No matter which year you're celebrating, write your husband or wife a love letter and enclose it with your anniversary gift.
