Safe Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
For Your Spouse
When looking for a wedding anniversary gift for your better half, do not try to surprise them too much. While surprises are great, if you really go on a tangent then your spouse may feel that your still do not know him or her well enough. For the animal lover wife, a fur coat will not be a good idea and similarly a right handed golf club for a leftie husband will also be a poor choice.
The best wedding anniversary gift is one that assures your spouse that you love them for what they are not what you want them to be. A conservative minded wife may not be happy with some negligee and a husband with an alcohol problem may not like something that reminds him that you still view him as being an addict.
Figure out what interest them and then splurge in that category. If she is into cooking or quilting, get her a new kitchen gizmo or cool quilting gadgets that can make her work easier and more enjoyable. If you do not want to experiment too much in the crafts store, jewelry is always a good wedding anniversary gift as you can hardly ever go wrong with diamonds or gold. To make it even more special, get it engraved with your initials and perhaps the wedding date.
Do not get your spouse a gift card; it looks like a plastic form of cash. Instead always enclose a gift receipt in case they would like to exchange it. Gift cards may be the in thing for the younger generation who are so hard to please, but for your significant other, take some time to pick out a wedding anniversary gift.
For a Loved One
If you want to get a wedding anniversary gift for your parents, in-laws or friends, try to get one thing that they both will enjoy. Instead of getting makeup for her and cologne for him, try getting a movie basket with a DVD, some popcorn, candy and drinks or a gift card to a theater so that they can enjoy it together. Get a dinner gift certificate so they can take some time out for themselves. If they have little kids, offer to watch the tots while the parents enjoy their dinner date; that in itself can be the best wedding anniversary gift they could get!
