Having only been married for 4 months now, and being the consummate planner, I can only imagine what type of anniversary gifts I should be getting for my beautiful bride. I could go the obvious route and get her roses. Then again, I did that already for our wedding.

Every year the same question comes into play another year, another question what to give as an Anniversary gift, seems that at this point in our relationship, the free calender I got at work mentions that a relationship of our length merits clocks. In younger times a traditionalist would have offered paper. Well, being at traditionalist at heart, a paper clock would be appropriate or maybe a pad of paper clocks.

Should you get china, cotton, or leather next year? There just doesn't seem to be any good answer. Your florist will be glad to suggest a dozen long-stemmed roses for your anniversary, since those cost him $1 to grow and sell for $150.

I noticed a problem with the wedding gift suggestions on my trusty calendar. Every year from one to fifteen had a theme, but there was a sudden jump to the 20 year mark. So, what on earth do you do when you've been married 19 years and don't want to be "practical" with some boring gift that says the magic in the marriage is all over?

A "practical gift" is one that hardly seems worth gift wrapping, like a light bulb or a dust mop. You will never get a romantic embrace after giving a practical gift. However, such gifts let your wife know that you know that your home needs and are willing to take the time and effort to get it yourself rather than add to her duties.

If you don't have the money or the time to do anything more elaborate, you can make "love coupons" from your sticky notes at work, each good for some token of your love. Good examples include doing the dishes and back rubs. These are romantic equivalents of the practical gift, and most women will love that you care enough about them to do something that really helps them in a tangible way.

Hopefully, this has given you a few ideas on what to give your loved one on your anniversary. There are a lot of available gift options for me, but I know I will definitely be giving my wife roses.
