Together
Anniversaries are happy occasions. This is especially true as the number of years under a couple’s belt increases. Coming up with anniversary presents can be a difficult task, but with a few tips on ideas, it’s not hard to think of other good ideas. For any gift idea, think of the significance of the occasion or something specific to the person the gift is for.
Scrapbooks, picture albums and other forms of books that capture special moments or provide a timeline of a journey are special ways to celebrate the finer moments in life. For example, the birth of children, a new home and summer vacations in the forms of pictures and other memorabilia bring back all the emotions felt during that time. It gives a couple a sense of accomplishment of all that they built and overcame together. Giving a gift of memories is a thoughtful gift for an anniversary, which is why something like Moleskines is an excellent choice as an anniversary gift.
Sometime during the 1980’s “best friends” necklaces emerged. The two necklaces were adorned with two halves of a circle or heart that fit together. What is marriage, but the union of two best friends? A simplistic gift such as this speaks volumes about what a marriage truly is. One necklace can be given to one partner and one to the other. A special message can be engraved on the back of both, such as the date they were married or something special between the couple.
A good old-fashioned cruise is a good anniversary present as well. Perhaps it’s not “old-fashioned” per se, but it is an excellent idea. Any couple that wants to keep their marriage going strong needs to engage in fun together. Experiencing activities and taking time to renew the marriage is what allows a couple to grow together. A cruise offers romance, fun, relaxation and excitement. Cruises are the perfect way to celebrate togetherness.
Anniversaries are celebrations of two people who chose to walk a path together. Come what may along that path—flat tires, promotions and relocating to another state—but the two who choose to stick it out together strengthen their bond. That is worth celebrating.
