Whether you declared these words one year ago, or fifty years ago, a wedding anniversary is a special milestone worth celebrating. On a wedding anniversary, it is traditional to give a gift to your partner (or a special couple) that symbolizes the number of years of marriage. This tradition dates back to the Middle Ages. See the chart below to take the guess work out of your anniversary gift–giving! Here are some ideas to help you celebrate both the traditional and modern couple. While I believe tradition is a very large part of marriage, I love adding a personal touch to every anniversary gift......... For example, say “I love you” on your 1st anniversary by writing a love letter on beautiful paper, for a sweet touch, paired with a beautiful gift of Jewelry! Of course I would suggest that...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Idea! Roberto Coin "Princess" 18kt Yellow Gold Triple Flower Ring With Diamond Accents. Size 6.5 2nd year - Add a surprise to a gift of clothing by putting a gift certificate in the pocket. Who doesn't love a surprise! 3rd year - Write your "LOVE" story in a leather journal, paired with a Strand of pearls. 4th year - Let flowers symbolize your growing love. The flowers can be real or flowered shaped jewelry. 5th year - Plant a tree with your spouse. Not only does a tree represent the traditional 5th year anniversary gift of wood, it symbolizes a love that will continue to grow. 6th year- A box of your favorite chocolates. 7th year - A beautiful wool blanket or sweaters for a cozy warm gift, to keep the couple warm during the cold winter months. 8th year - Take a pottery class together and create something to cherish for a life time. keep it displayed for all to enjoy. 9th year - A hand woven willow basket filled with a picnic and Lapis gift is romantic. 10th year - And of course Diamonds make for an extra special gift to celebrate 10 amazing years! 15th year- Matching Watches with a special message engraved on the back. I think you have the idea now...... I will leave the rest to you, create something special that you both will remember and relive year after year. The list Below is the official gift giving list for each year...... Anniversary Traditional and Modern gifts

Our 48th is coming up. Since it's in-between sapphire and gold I think I should get something that's a combination of hose two!
