Something Special to Give for the 25th Wedding Anniversary Jack and Mary have been married for 25 years. Time had flown so fast that both these individuals were able to raise 3 children with the eldest who just finished college. Jack told Mary that this moment would be celebrated with dinner for two at the couple's favorite Italian restaurant along Ocean Boulevard. For instance, the theme for a first year anniversary gift is paper. This is why most people would give books on marriage, photo albums made of handmade paper and others like that as gifts to couples celebrating that year. Generic gifts like this is actually perfect for men because not only will you have to think of something that he only can use, you will also be giving something that both partners will appreciate. There are guidebooks and other information available in the web to give the spouses an idea of what to give for the next anniversary. The individual can stick to the norm or be modern in celebrating this occasion. The person should keep in mind to give the gift not for the sake of getting something but to do this with love and appreciated for the lover. Know what they want Sometimes, it is not in bad taste to just ask the person what they want or what they need. This will save you needless fatigue from scouring the whole mall and this will also ensure that what you will be giving them will be put to good use and not just relegated to a dark spot in the attic. If the friend really knows that couple well, the contents could be something that the two enjoy. A good example could be soaps and body lotions with a free gift certificate to the spa. If the couple is into the arts, perhaps some goodies and tickets to a play or concert that both love or has just been recently opened in the opera or theater. With the long years that they have spent putting up with you, they deserve a week or a month of a life that is kids-free. What better gift to give them than a trip to a foreign land where they can enjoy being together without the distraction of kids in their midst? For their anniversary, why not buy them tickets to some exotic destination where they can relax and just have fun.
