Anniversary Gifts - Twenty-Third Anniversary
By: Michael Russell
You’re so close to a big milestone anniversary but you’re not quite there, so it stands to reason that the anniversary gift for your twenty-third anniversary isn’t going to be the knock ‘em out of the ball park kind that you’re going to be getting two years from today. But this year’s offering is one of the most narrow choices you’re going to find. Silver plate.
Yes, that’s it. Silver plate. Now, you can take this quite literally and say that the only thing you can get for somebody on this day is a silver plate, period. But what many people do out of necessity, is to stretch this out to anything that is silver plated. Now we’ve increased the number of choices to quite a handful. So, if you’re one of those die-hard traditionalists, by all means, go out and get your wife a silver plate and wish her a happy anniversary. For the rest of you, you might want to read the rest of this article to find out what some of the other choices are that you have available to you.
Silver plated gifts are so numerous, you could literally spend days combing the Internet, magazines, newspapers and even the TV, if you watch the Home Shopping Channel, looking for a gift. Silver plating is one of the most common things you can get, even if it isn’t all that cheap.
If you’re the romantic type and still in love like when you first got married, you might want to get something mushy like a silver plated heart trinket box. The box is actually heart shaped and is quite handy. You can keep a number of small objects in it, thus the name trinket box. You can pick one of these up for about twenty bucks.
Still staying with the romantic and heart theme, you can pick up a silver plated heart shaped pendant and necklace. Oddly, even though this pendant is smaller than the trinket box, it goes for quite a bit more money. This gift is going to set you back about $35.
If you’re not so much of a romantic and want to get a gift that is off the beaten track, you might want to pick up a silver plated yo-yo. Your spouse has certainly never seen anything like these before. You can get one for about $24.
Keeping with the unusual theme, you can pick up a silver plated train bank. The bank is actually in the shape of an old style engine and you can actually put coins into it. The bank probably won’t hold as much money as what it’s going to cost you at about $30.
For you gals looking for a gift, you can get your husband a nice set of silver plated cufflinks. Even if he doesn’t dress up much he is sure to love these. You can pick up a pair for about $25.
Yes, silver plated gifts are really easy to find. Of course, you can always just go out and get your spouse a good old silver plate.
