Anniversaries are occasions that demand a special gift for the couple to mark a celebration of their being made for each other - a gift that matches the couple's age, personalities and tastes. Here's how you can select some special gifts for a special occasion. These gifts can be given by a husband to a wife or vice versa or by a common friend of the couple to both of them.
Hammock:
Irrespective of the couple living in a tiny apartment or a sprawling garden bungalow, there's always place for a hammock to be tied! A hammock is one of the most relaxing furniture pieces that a couple can have in their home. In an apartment, the hammock can be tied to two pillars inside the bedroom and in a bungalow setup, two trees in the garden/yard would work best to get a hammock and their feet up in the air.
Wine tasting sessions:
If the couple lives close to a wine producing region, or if you are willing to fly them, gifting them a wine tasting session coupon would be a great anniversary gift idea. In addition to a joyride to their tastebuds, the couple will get plenty of time to spend with each other in the lap of nature. This will be more than a gift to them considering everyone's busy lives these days.
Interesting bed linen:
Although this is a traditional and tested gift idea, it's also very beautiful. Add a small twist to this anniversary gift idea. Many not-for-profit organizations that work for the development of arts and handicrafts have physically challenged people who create beautiful handicrafts, handmade items and quilts. Buy a pre-ordered custom made quilt from them with the couple's names written on it. Through this purchase, you are not only buying the couple a gift but also making a contribution on their behalf to charity. A good deed for a good day!
Cartoon caricature:
A photo in a silver frame is probably the most boring gift, a couple can ever receive on their anniversary! There are lots of talented cartoonists online and offline today - who can make a cartoon caricature of a photograph given to them. If you also give them some interesting trivia and insights about the couple, the cartoonist can make up speech bubbles out of it - making it a one-of-a-kind humorous personal artwork for the couple. The recipient will love and treasure the gift.
Mini "re-wedding":
If you need anniversary gifting ideas for a couple who have been together for more than 10 or 15 years, here's a brilliant one. Arrange a small surprise party in a church. Try and ensure that the couple are in their very best dresses (after all it's going to be their "re-wedding" day!). Appoint a priest who will conduct the nuptial procedure with the wedding oath and renew wedding wows for the couple. This will revive the couple's memories of their wedding and it'll become one "re-wedding" that they will not forget!
A newspaper ad:
You will totally freak the couple out (in a very nice way though) when they see their photograph in the morning newspaper, with their phones continuously ringing with congratulatory calls from long lost friends and family members! Buying an ad in a newspaper will cost you nearly the same amount as buying an expensive perfume or a somewhat similar gift. But this anniversary gift idea will be an instant hit. The couple will not only enjoy their limelight for the day but also make sure they preserve that ad so that they can show it to other people months after their anniversary has gone!
You can try to make sure that the couple has a super anniversary day and that your gift stands out from the array of the commonplace presents given to them!
