General Anniversary Gift Ideas

No matter how many months, years, or decades, and no matter whether it is the anniversary of your wedding, the day you met, or the day you decided to become a couple, celebrating anniversaries with parties or gifts acknowledges the importance of your relationship. 

Anniversary gifts for your partner can reinforce or threaten the bond between you. It really is a matter of expectations.

If you or your partner has unrealistic expectations, buying gifts can be a minefield.

On the other hand, if you approach it with some humour and kindness, it can remind you why you became, and why you want to remain, a couple. Here are some ideas to make life easier for both of you...

• Make it the same thing every year - build a re-assuring traditional of your favourite brand of chocolates to share, a hamper containing your favourite wine (tradition plus surprise), or a collection you build with one new item to make each year. This can be the most adaptable option and cope with varying financial conditions throughout the years.
   
• Make it a shared experience - buy an experience voucher for a meal, a getaway, and adventure or more.  You can see lots of experience vouchers for Australian & New Zealand on wowchers.com.au or in the UK on maxinfo.co.uk
   
• Don't buy anything - make it a day where you give your time or attention. Go for a long walk, make and eat a meal together, do something that sets the day apart so it is one where you relax, talk and reconnect.
   
• Escape the family and friends - get away from their expectations as well. Book a quiet hotel room, a weekend retreat, or just get a babysitter in for the night.
