The Non- Traditional Wedding Anniversary Gift.
Many couples find traditional items a little tedious, uninteresting. There are still a lot of "old fashioned" couples that follow this list on an annual basis. You should admit that some traditional wedding anniversary gifts are a little odd, even if you're a modern couple or an "old fashioned" one. For instance, a newly wed couple's traditional first year anniversary gift should be...are you ready? Paper. Well, that's simple enough.
We'll take money! If only men read into things like women do. Instead, traditional men usually opt for cards, magazine subscriptions, personalized journals, engraved albums, and memo pads. Sounds a little boring, doesn't it? If you've said yes, than you were definitely more of contemporary person. Gift certificate is paper you can purchase anything you want with it.
Advise: not to get stuck in the traditional gift trap. Why? Because the traditional gift for your secondary anniversary is Cotton. Sometimes being non-traditional has its advantages. But forget about paper and cotton. There's not supposed to be a set of gift related rules. At least try to buy or make something that you know your spouse will revere. Show you spouse that you've put some thought into your gift with felling love and care.
