Anniversary Gifts - Fifteenth Anniversary
By: Michael Russell
Believe it or not, you’ve reached another milestone. A fifteenth anniversary is a very special time. You’ve been married almost as long as it takes to out a child through grammar school and high school. So the least you should do is make sure that you get your spouse a gift that fits the occasion. If no ideas come to mind, fret not. We’re going to cover both the traditional and modern gift ideas for this special day.
The traditional anniversary gift idea for this day is crystal. One thing you need to know about crystal is that it’s not something that you go tossing around the house. Crystal is very delicate. So if you do go for the traditional gift this year, make sure you pick out something that is going to basically stay in one place and not be moved around a lot.
One idea would be to get a crystal candy dish for the living room. This is perfect for not only keeping sweets in for you and your spouse year round, but also for when you have company over and you want to have something on display for them to look at while they’re enjoying the truffles that you’ve filled your dish up with.
If you’re looking for something a little bigger with a little bigger price tag (yes, crystal is expensive) you may want to get something for the dinner table like a crystal pitcher you can serve ice tea out of. Granted, this is a little risky, since you’ll be passing that thing around a lot, but if you keep it out of the hands of those you wouldn’t trust with the nuclear launch codes, you should be okay.
You may want to spring for a nice crystal vase that you can put some flowers in. Even better, you can make sure you order the flowers with the vase so that when you give your lovely gift to your wife, she’ll have something that she can not only admire, but smell all at the same time. Talk about killing two senses with one gift.
If you’re afraid that crystal is just going to be a little too delicate to have around your home, you might want to go with the modern gift idea of watches. If you haven’t already sprung for a gold watch or pocket watch for the previous anniversary, you might want to consider it for this one. A pocket watch is a very rare and beautiful gift. Of course, if you don’t want to get anything too expensive, you can just go for your standard type of watch. With today’s technology, there are plenty to choose from including some nice digital watches that do everything but cook your breakfast.
As you can see, the anniversary gift ideas are starting to get more and more special and equally as expensive. This is to be expected as you’re trying to reach for something that very few people in today’s world achieve. So don’t skimp on your gift. You want it to be something that your spouse is going to remember for a long time to come.
