Every couple looks forward to marking a special anniversary: the day they first met, the day they moved in together, but most importantly, their wedding day. It\u2019s a way of cementing their unique bond as a couple. There are very specific traditions for anniversaries. For example, the traditional first year of married life equals a gift made of or from \u201cpaper.\u201d The fifth anniversary is \u201cwood,\u201d the twelfth is \u201csilk\u201d and on and on. Of course, most of us know that the \u201csilver\u201d anniversary marks year 25 and \u201cgold\u201d the 50th. <\/sup> Then there\u2019s the \u201cdiamond\u201d year(#60). Each year together as a couple represents something special.<\/p>\n

Friends and family often get stumped on gifts for anniversaries. So here are a few clever ideas to stimulate some unique ideas for anniversary gifts.<\/p>\n

FIRST YEAR (PAPER)<\/strong>: An elegant journal to chronicle the earliest days of marriage. Or maybe a cool map to plot where you\u2019ve traveled \u2013 or want<\/em> to in coming years?<\/p>\n

FIFTH YEAR (WOOD):<\/strong> How about a pair of chic wood wine glasses to toast the big day? A wood clock is also a classic gift.<\/p>\n

TENTH YEAR (TIN\/ALUMINUM):<\/strong> There are some super-elegant aluminum picture frames out there to showcase happy memories. (PS \u2013some folks have added \u201cdiamonds\u201d to the 10th<\/sup>-anniversary registry, but a dazzling piece of cubic zirconia jewelry can also do the trick. Check out what Birkat Elyon<\/a> has to offer.}<\/p>\n

FIFTEENTH YEAR (CRYSTAL)<\/strong>: Crystal isn’t limited to decorative pieces; it also applies to timepieces. So a clock or handsome watch will do. And note that the 15th<\/sup> year together also includes rubies, garnets and things that are \u201cred.\u201d Thus, a dozen red roses will also do in a pinch.<\/p>\n

TWENTIETH YEAR (CHINA)<\/strong>: A gorgeous designer tea set \/teapot or set of decorative china plates will fulfill that tradition. Or you could take things literally and crowd-fund a trip to actual<\/em> China for the couple.<\/p>\n

For busy couples, it\u2019s important to take the time to mark milestones on their own, even if its just a simple champagne toast. But here are some other fun ways couples can remember their Big Day.<\/p>\n

–Sharing A Common Interest<\/strong>: in these busy days, it’s easy to forget the kinds of things that brought you together. When an anniversary rolls around, renew your bond by indulging in something you both enjoy \u2013 from ziplining to hitting a garden store. The adrenaline level doesn\u2019t matter; it\u2019s all about being together.<\/p>\n

–Write Love Letters:<\/strong> This can be tough for some, but simply recalling some good moments from the previous year, or what you appreciate about your partner is all that\u2019s needed. You don\u2019t have to be a poet \u2013 just be honest.<\/p>\n

–Dance Together<\/strong>: Do you have a \u201csong\u201d? Anniversaries are the time to bring it out and dance together as you did on your wedding day. Even if it’s just in your kitchen (#shycouples).<\/p>\n

One more way of marking an anniversary is with a beautiful piece of jewelry. Birkat Elyon<\/a> has a full range of dazzling, affordable pieces!<\/p>\n
