Build your anniversary gifts into a special celebration. I have tried a few variations that have always brightened up my wife's day. You can always go for a traditional material as the focus of your gift for the anniversary you are celebrating or have a gift a day for each year of marriage with the last gift using the traditional material. Or...try this one. Have a traditional gift each day, one for each year of your marriage up to the number of years you are celebrating. If you are celebrating your 12th wedding anniversary, you'll have 12 wedding anniversary gifts, for 12 days. It take some planning but it is really awesome--your wife will be speechless...
I have to share with all of you what a challenge I have been facing this
year with anniversary-gifts-a-day for each year of my marriage to my
beautiful wife. I surprised her with a trip and then doubly surprised
her by showing up with the rest of our kids at the airport. It was
good...but planning our 15 years of marriage a
gift-a-day-per-year-of-marriage has been tough. I will upload some
pictures of the wedding anniversary gifts I did this year to give you a
little bit of added planning 'ammunition' ideas.
Men, it is worth
it! We have to try to find something that works for each one us to
always keep our wife in the forefront of our thoughts.
Have fun with it, falling in love all over again and again every year.

to year traditional & modern anniversary gifts. And...practical
