- Several established companies sell fine crystal. Worldwide collectors need no introduction to Swarovski, for example, which is synonymous with Austrian crystal in complete ranges of jewelry, figurines and home accessories at a variety of prices. For instance, Swarovski's "Flirting Swans" (see Resources 1) makes an appropriate 15th anniversary gift. This pair of faceted clear crystal swans symbolizes lifelong faithfulness. Other possibilities are "Soulmate Dolphins," a pair of fully faceted clear crystal dolphins frolicking on a blue granite base, "Sparkling Heart" and "Waterlily Tea Light" with clear faceted crystal petals. Swarovski jewelry includes a rhodium-plated or gold-plated "Random Bangle" embedded with clear crystals. While all these items make lovely gifts, there are several top brands of crystal that can be considered for 15th anniversary gifts, such as Lenox, Kosta Boda and Waterford, with product designs ranging from traditional to ultramodern.
- His-and-hers watches could be a popular 15th anniversary gift, especially if they are designer watches like the contemporary and sleek selection at Emporio Armani. For example, the Armani men's Sport Watch is crafted in stainless steel with a black dial and date window, and a textured stainless steel bracelet. The ladies' Sport Watch has a silver-tone dial and a date window encircled by sparkling stones on the top ring, and a white leather strap. These are just two of the many available watch models (see Resources 2). Watches are a matter of personal choice, however, so make sure that they are gifts that will suit the wearers before making a purchase. Otherwise, a gift certificate might be the better option.
- Think about a 15th anniversary celebration as part of a family holiday at Walt Disney World in Florida for all it has to offer in entertainment and dining to suit all ages. Given the significance of crystal to a 15th anniversary, the aptly named Crystal Palace restaurant in the Magic Kingdom Theme Park could be part of the celebration tour, with its family-style cuisine (see Resources 3). The Crystal Palace serves American cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a live, on-stage kitchen where chefs prepare the day's fare. The restaurant can create specialty celebration cakes with 48-hour advance notice.
