Whether celebrating your first anniversary or fiftieth anniversary, this is a
special day. Many couples will renew their vows on significant dates such as
a tenth, twenty-fifth, or fiftieth anniversary. Just as the wedding, the
anniversary is a day that will be cherished for life. Each wedding anniversary
has a gift associated with it. This list started many years ago with very
traditional items but over the years, these items have become modernized.
Either list is acceptable so if your spouse prefers traditional things, use the
traditional list whereas if your spouse prefers things more modern, the modern
list would suffice. Here are some examples:

People often struggle to find the perfect anniversary gift, something that
is special and unlike what any other person would give. Although a weekend
at a bed and breakfast, a party, and a romantic dinner for two in a quaint
restaurant are wonderful gifts, you will discover some distinct gifts that
offer something special.
A presidential greeting is something couples celebrating a fiftieth wedding
anniversary would be thrilled to receive. In this case, you would make a
request to the President of the United States written at least four weeks
before the anniversary date. The request would be sent to The Greetings
Office, The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, 20500.
Another fabulous idea is to have a star named for each person. The gift
of a star is a gift that will shine every night and something that will
never fade. For the Name a Star gift, the couple will receive a certificate,
star chart, and more! Another great idea is to have a nursery plant a tree
in the couple's honor either at a local community location, or in their own
yard. This is perfect for couples that enjoy the outdoors and support the
environment. If the tree is donated in their honor to the community, they
will receive a framed certificate telling about their tree, where it was
planted, and a nice gift card.
Customized photography would be cherished by any couple. Take one of their
favorite wedding photographs and have it transformed into a beautiful black
and white photo, watercolor, or oil painting. Finally, create a photo album
for them starting with photographs from their dating years all the way to the
current year. This is something they can look back on, enjoy, and someday
pass down to their own children.
