When it is time to decide what to buy your partner for an anniversary it can be difficult to choose.
There are guidelines for anniversary gift giving that will make it a little easier to buy.
The guidelines are pretty simple and will not tell you exactly what to give but can be very helpful.
1.
The first traditional anniversary gift is paper.
When you think of paper or any of these gift guidelines, think outside of the box.
Paper does not mean a roll of paper towels think money, certificates, personal message in the form of a poem or song or even tickets for a second honeymoon cruise.
2.
Cotton is the 2nd anniversary gift and it can be a monogrammed robe or anything else.
3.
Leather is the gift for your third anniversary and there are many choices for men and women.
4.
Linen for the 4th anniversary can be found in table cloths and clothes.
5.
There are a lot of things you can do with wood which is the gift for your 5th anniversary.
6.
Iron can cause you to really think outside of the box but it is the 6th anniversary gift.
7.
There is controversy whether copper or wool is the gift for your 7th year.
8.
Bronze is the choice of materials for the 8th year anniversary.
9.
Pottery for the 9th anniversary this could be especially fun if you take a class together.
10.
Tin or Aluminum for the 10th year of celebrating your life together might sound a little dull but think of gift buckets filled with their favorite things or car wash supplies.
11.
Because stainless steel is the material of gifts for the 11th anniversary it is OK to buy an appliance or watch, as long as it is stainless steel.
12.
Silk for the 12th anniversary makes it easy to pick a gift.

14.

15.

16.
20 years together you should be giving and getting china.

19.
For the 35th anniversary gift of coral or jade a trip to the coral reefs or Japan instead of jewelry or household decorations sounds very exciting to me.
20.
Ruby is the gift for the 40th anniversary.
21.
Also celebrated as The Golden Anniversary, 50 years of marriage is celebrated with gifts of gold.
This is a general guide to traditional anniversary gifts and is probably one of many.

When deciding what to buy for another person, a good rule is to buy them something they want but would not buy for themselves.
