I have been married for almost 40 years and every year choosing appropriate anniversary gifts is high on my anxiety list. Of course we know that the wedding anniversary is an occasion where the thought counts more than the gift, yes?
As men and women tend to have quite different ideas about what an appropriate gift should be it does not make it easy for a husband or wife to choose wedding anniversary gifts. Also, it is a common perception that remembering at all, let alone choosing a present is somehow the responsibility of us guys!
These days, time and financial constraints will usually prevent us from planning an extravagant wedding anniversary celebration, and generally, any amount of money spent isn't going to make hubby or wife feel loved and cherished. So that's out.
