few gift ideas to make your shopping a little easier.
1st Anniversary-
The first anniversary is the year of paper. Paper gifts are not as
boring as one may think. It can be as simple as a handwritten poem or as
lavish as an airline ticket.
2nd Anniversary –
The second anniversary is cotton. A good cotton gift is clothing.
Personalizing it makes it even more special. Nowadays you can
personalize just about anything.
3rd Anniversary-
The third anniversary gift is leather. Wallets and purses are nice
leather gifts. There are also tins of leather items that can be
personalized as well. (Ex. Personalized leather bracelets or briefcases)
4th Anniversary-
Linen is the fourth anniversary gift. Linen gifts include table linens
and vacation linen shirts also known as Guayaberas.

furniture.

picture frames.

wool. Cooper gifts include vases and bowls. Wool gifts include sweaters
and scarves.

a candleholder or vase to a trinket or memorable keepsake being bronzed.

Pottery is the ninth anniversary. Sculptures, vases and bowls are the
most common of these gifts. A great gift idea would be to enjoy a
pottery class together.

tusk. Not likely huh? How about Ivory soap? At least I tried.
