Find anniversary gifts for him and anniversary gifts for her!

The list of traditional and modern anniversary gifts has evolved over time and sometimes varies from one source to another, especially where modern ideas are involved. Use these ideas as a guide, but feel free to experiment and give a gift that is unique to both you and the man, woman, or couple who will receive it.

Within the pages of The Anniversary Shop you will find creative interpretation of both traditional and modern themes. For example, the gifts specified for the 1st year anniversary are paper, clocks, and gold jewelry. While clocks and gold jewelry abound, it might be difficult to come up with a gift idea for paper. Buying a gift certificate from BnBFinder.com not only provides a piece of paper that could be considered your "gift of paper," it also provides a grand opportunity to take your spouse or send that special couple to 19 different Bed and Breakfast establishments within 20 miles of Paper Mill Village, Vermont, home of one of the country's few remaining covered bridges.

Likewise, the 2nd anniversary calls for cotton, china, calico, and garnet. While all of these items are straightforward, other than a cotton shirt, what do you buy a man for a 2nd anniversary gift? How about a picnic basket with a cotton lining to take with you to that quiet retreat for just the two of you? Isn't that much more romantic than another cotton shirt?

As you think about the gift you want to give, be creative, use the traditional and modern gift ideas as a guide and be sure to check out the Always Appropriate section for anniversary gifts that will be loved no matter how long you have been married.

After all, who wouldn't love a picnic basket and the romantic trips for two that will ensue? And how many times have you given a diamond or piece of gemstone jewelry only to be met with, "Gee, I would rather have another blouse or shirt instead"? I didn't think so. If none of the gifts listed as traditional or modern for the year you are celebrating suit the recipient(s), you are sure to find the perfect gift under another year or in the Always Appropriate section.

The Anniversary Chart has been added to help you navigate through the pages more efficiently. All of the product lines carried at The Anniversary Shop have links to the page on which the product will be found. This gives you an easy way to find the product line you are looking for whether it is for the year you have in mind or not.

And the birthstones by month chart gives you easy access to the gemstone jewelry that will be perfect for an anniversary, birthday, holiday, or other special occasion, or as a treat for yourself.

Remember to bookmark and use The Anniversary Shop for all your gift-giving needs. Even though we feature gifts for anniversaries, all of the gifts on these pages are perfect for any special occasion.

It is our hope that you have as much fun giving our gifts as we have had in creating the ideas that fit the traditional anniversary gift and modern anniversary gift suggestions.
