At the beginning of July I told you I was starting a page for “unique traditional anniversary gifts”, not just traditional ones.  I emphasize the unique as that has not been as easy as I thought it might be.

Some  were ‘fairly easy’ (though I use the term ‘fairly’ loosely) to find unique gifts for, but others, well not so much.

Here are some examples of what I mean…

1st Year Anniversary Gift – Paper – well if you just want to give a fancy piece of paper that would be easy.  This one was my first hurdle.  Little did I know it actually would be my easiest.

13th Year Anniversary Gift – Lace – this was easy for women but not so easy for men. A few centuries ago, no problem, but now? What’s the matter guys, afraid of a little lace? Back in the romantic era even tough guys wore lace.

14th Year Anniversary Gift – Ivory – well of course ivory is protected so I really had to think outside of the box on this one.

15th Year Anniversary Gift – Crystal – this was easy for couples gift and women but not so easy finding a crystal gift for men. Get men a nice crystal bowl and they’ll have it full of dry roasted peanuts in no time…

35th Year Anniversary Gift – Coral – this was easy for women, but again not so easy for men, other than a belt buckled with coral and a coral colored shirt.

Do you notice a trend?  I sure did.  It seems that if you want to find the every day kind-of anniversary gifts it is easy to pick out ones for both men and women, but if you want traditional anniversary gifts – and especially Unique Traditional Anniversary gifts, it is way easier to find them for women than it is for men.  A bit strange to me because men like gifts too!

So the page is now up to 35th Year Anniversary Gift.  What do you think?  http://forsomeonewhohaseverything.com/Anniversary-Gifts.html
