Choosing a wedding anniversary
gift that wows your husband
or wife can rate high on your anxiety list; your anniversary
is an occasion where the thought counts even more than the
gift. The idea that your loving spouse should “know
what I
want" can lead to disappointed expectations, as men
and
women tend to have radically different ideas about what
“romantic" means. Mind reading is an art, not
a science; so
make it easy for your husband or wife to choose a wedding
anniversary gift. Drop easy-to-figure-out hints or talk
about how you would love to celebrate your anniversary.
You don't always have the money
or the time to plan an
extravagant wedding anniversary celebration, and truly,
the
amount of money spent isn't going to be what makes your
husband or wife feel cherished. Life is busier than ever
for
most couples and it's easy to fall into a routine that
deadens your marriage. Making time to celebrate your love
gets lost in the shuffle. Your anniversary is the perfect
occasion to break out of your rut.
What will touch your husband
or wife's heart, what's been
missing in your relationship that you want to enjoy again?
Answer this question and you'll be on the right path to
finding wedding anniversary gifts that have the magic “wow"
factor.
Spice up your gifts
Traditional anniversary gifts of flowers, chocolate or
jewelry can be made special by the way you present them.
Personalize a flower bouquet
or a box of chocolates with a
love letter, note or a short poem. “Roses are red,
violets
are blue, we've been married for xx years, and my love for
you is still true." “Chocolates are yummy and
sweet, but you
are always my number one treat." Take a romantic song
lyric
and personalize it by changing a few words or a line or
two.
Doesn't have to be fancy, just heartfelt.
Place a jewelry gift in a special
keepsake box and also
enclose a love note. If you're dining out at your favorite
restaurant, have the gift delivered with dessert. Buy a
heart-shaped serving tray to present it. Or custom engrave
a
bracelet with a romantic message.
A romantic evening “home
alone" can jumpstart your romance
again. Create a fun theme for your evening and buy costumes
to match it. Order in a dinner so you only have to heat
and
serve.
Indulge yourselves with a romantic
and sexy getaway. If you
have children, maybe a relative or trusted friends can take
them for one night so you can enjoy a private celebration.
Get a suite and decorate it beforehand. Set up candles,
strew the bed with flower petals, sexy lingerie and fun
toys. Put on your favorite music and leisurely give each
other a massage to get into the mood.
Personalized gifts are very
appreciated, especially when
they include words of love or a happy photo of you together.
Create a “love" gift basket. Include items such
photos, love
coupons, a framed love letter, a small box of chocolates,
massage oils, a few fresh flowers, aromatic candles, bottle
of wine or small romantic trinkets with special meanings
to
your marriage.
Show how much you appreciate
your husband or wife and plan
your anniversary celebration around something that they
always wanted to do but haven't done yet.
A great wedding anniversary gift expresses what romance
uniquely means to your marriage. Carefully listen for your
spouse's hints and clues.
But the best anniversary gift is to give your husband or
wife what they truly want: to know that you cherish your
love and marriage, and always will.
