Anniversary Gift Ideas You Can't Resist ---------- For those of you who are married I am sure you will agree that a wedding anniversay is a time of reflection on memories both fond and not so fond. Despite this however you have to buy a gift for your spouse or else face his or her wrath for another year.
Whether your wedding anniversary is 1 year, 5 years, 25 or 50 years its is indeed a feat of gargantuam proportions in modern times that requires a lavish celebration. Traditionally 25 years is regarded as the Silver Wedding anniversary and 50 years as the golden wedding anniversary and rightly so. These days however it seems 1 year should be a Golden anniversary.
There are currently two Diamond anniversaries celebrated, one at the traditional anniversary after 75 years of marriage. However in 1897 Queen Victoria celebrated her 60th anniversary since becoming Queen, and thus, 60 also became accepted as a Diamond anniversary. There is also a 100th anniversary, for those devoted souls dedicated enough to live to it, however, the longest recorded marriage survived for 81 years.
Each milestone year of a wedding anniversary, according to wedding anniversary etiquette, is a symbol of accomplishment and therefore milestone years are usually met with the appropriate gift. Suffice to say modern gift giving ideas are taking over from the traditional themes associated with the year of celebration.
Precious stones and gems are always the first choice as anniversary gifts, only in recent times gems do not necessarily come in the form of jewelry, but rather can be impressed on oak jewelry boxes or frames of family portraits. However, antique clocks and Chinaware are still great anniversary gifts.
And last but not least, nothing can be more precious than taking memories of olden times and making them into visual reminders. Scrap books, collages and quilts made wonderful anniversary gifts, especially when creativity and spirit are incorporated into your gift idea. ----------
