Make Your Anniversary Memorable by Selecting a Unique, Thoughtful Gift
This year I hope to give you a few ideas that will help you perhaps break out of a "gift rut" and into looking at some fresh new ideas.
Each of the gifts outlined below I have purchased and given myself and so I know they will be very well received.
If you do use one of these ideas I'd be thrilled to have your feedback in the comments section. Also if you have any questions as to appropriate gifts please use the "contact me" link in the sidebar.
I'll answer your question as best I can and will also be adding an Anniversary Gift FAQ section in the near future based on the input.

- I have a great idea for an anniversary gift:
Give a Digital Photo Ornament as an anniversary gift to your parents. Just preload the display with family photos that span across several decades. This will definitely be a gift they will cherish forever. They have some really cool ones over at http://www.thedigitalgiftshop.com

- With regard to a wine gift, one idea is to give a bottle with the vintage the same as the year you were married ... this might only be pratical for the first several years unless you have unlimited funds. Some smart people put bottles away to be revealed many years later as a gift but remember they must be properly stored to prevent spoilage.
