Special Anniversary Gifts for Your Wife
- Celebrate your anniversary with a romantic weekend getaway to the city where you spent your honeymoon or another location your wife has expressed a desire to visit. Inform your wife of your decision beforehand to give her time to rearrange her schedule. Inform the management of the hotel to treat you like a honeymooning couple. Alternately, spend the night in a local hotel or bed-and-breakfast if a weekend holiday is not possible. You can also plan to spend the night at home pampering your wife; cook dinner together, feed her a decadent dessert and take a tub bath together to create a romantic evening she will cherish for a long time.
- Give your wife a special, sentimental present that reflects the journey you have made as a couple. Look for photos that reflect important events in the past such as your first date, your wedding, honeymoon, the births of your children, family vacations and other special events, along with memorabilia such as tickets, cards and dried flowers. Paste the items on sheets of paper and write a caption under each. Include romantic quotes and reasons why you love her. Your wife will appreciate the time and effort you spent in compiling the scrapbook.
- Give your wife a traditional gift personalized to commemorate the amount of years spent together. For instance, if celebrating your first wedding anniversary, give her a paper gift such as a book of coupons for romantic activities you are obliged to perform or a personal calendar with a romantic photo of you and your wife for each month. The traditional anniversary gift for the second year is cotton, so give her a set of silk and cotton underwear or lingerie in your favorite color or wind a large cotton ribbon around your waist and knot it in a bow to present yourself to your wife.
- This anniversary, impress your wife with a gift she has long wanted. This will really demonstrate that you understand her. Watch out for clues she may give when shopping, or seek help from one of her girlfriends for the most suitable present. For instance, your wife may want a new designer coat, shoes or handbag or lessons to develop a hobby. She will love the thoughtful present and the effort you made especially for her.
