Fun and Unique Anniversary Gifts

When shopping for the perfect anniversary gift it is sometimes helpful to find out some information about when the happy couple got married.  Whether you are celebrating their 1st anniversary or their 50th, find gifts that remind them of their life together and the vows they took.  Also something that is uniquely tailored just for them makes treasured gifts that will put smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts.

A picture frame or photo album that is personalized or hand crafted is always neat, but I find these gifts always mean more when pictures are actually included.  Guest plates that can be signed by friends and family are a creative way to honor and remember an anniversary celebration.  Or try a personalized banner flag to announce an anniversary to the world.  Both items will be proudly displayed for years to come and are fun gifts to give and receive.

Another really unique keepsake is a personalized book that tells all about the events going on the year of their marriage.  Also a wooden wall plaque or sign that can be personalized with names, dates or even poems, depending upon the styles chosen, fit nicely into any home décor.  A name meaning plaque or framed picture can be made for two people and is a unique keepsake that is tailored specifically to highlight the best points of each individual’s personality.  For a gift that they can both enjoy and will especially appreciate.

When shopping for anniversary gifts you’ll find a lot of items can be personalized which adds that special touch to any item making it other than ordinary.  Items like: serving dishes, bowls, trays, coffee mugs, beer glasses, wine glasses, decanter sets, wine carafes, wine stoppers, champagne buckets, leather travel bags, garment bags, toiletry kits, jewelry boxes, valet trays, manicure sets, afghans or throw blankets, even golf accessories like shoe bags, divot tool and ball markers or shadow boxes can become fun and treasured keepsakes.  The trick is to make sure you find a gift that fits into their lifestyle or is something they want or need.

Gifts can be given as a set to the Mr. and misses or to the individual.  You can always give a favorite bottle of wine or other liquor, roses come in a wide variety of colors and they can even have them preserved forever in gold or silver for flowers that will truly last a lifetime.  Also if they never got to have a unity candle, there are lots of candles available for a memorable keepsake or try giving gift baskets that come in a huge variety ranging from bath products to beer and everything in between for a meaningful gift that is sure be enjoyed.

I always like to save the best for last.  Although I’m fond of giving personalized gifts, don’t get me wrong, I also think it’s important to give the happy couple something to look forward to.  Plus you can suggest these gift ideas to others and pitch in for one big present from everybody that you know they’ll love.  A weekend getaway for two, a cruise, hot air balloon rides, a safari trip, tickets to a concert or any event is always fun, a vacation booklet can be purchased that allows them to pick their vacation or just a romantic dinner for two can be a nice gesture that gives the happy couple a chance to spend time together and create more fun memories.  If they never got a first honeymoon, then plan one as their gift.  Also a simple day at the spa or a paid golf club membership can be all that’s needed to put a smile on their faces.

Anniversaries are fun to shop for as the possibilities are only limited by one’s imagination.  Remember to shop early and look online to save yourself any unnecessary hassle’s plus time and money too.  Give from the heart and buy items that fit into their lives and you’re gift will be happily received, proudly displayed and always cherished.
