If you don't want to organize
something yourself, you can
buy anniversary presents in
the form of experience days,
where the whole day is set
up and you just enjoy. There's
everything from swimming with
sharks (divorce is less dangerous),
to a day in a health spa.
If it's difficult to decide
on something you both like,
you could take it in turns
to choose.
There are some presents that
can't be gift wrapped but
make a wonderful statement.
Anniversary presents just
need a bit of lateral thinking.
A tree can be planted in your
partner's name, maybe in a
place that means a lot to
both of you. You could go
beyond earth and name a star
for your beloved. That star
will carry that name forever
and there will be a certificate
of registration, so no one
can take the name away. When
you promised them the moon
and the stars, you sort of
did it! While you're at it,
you could have a favorite
song played on the radio.
If you do want something
that your partner can open
and you can see the delight
in their eyes when they unwrap
their anniversary presents,
you could buy a piece of original
art. Make sure it's to their
taste and not just yours.
A painting, a sculpture, or
an antique that your partner
has mentioned or hinted at!
Why not compose your own poem.
Romantic anniversary presents
don't come more personal than
that. If your talents don't
lie in that direction, buy
a book of love poems to be
on the safe side. You can
always rely on Elizabeth Barrett
Browning.
