Wow, can you believe it’s been ten years already? We sure can’t. Just look at you two. You know what we mean.

Just as the sundial was the first timekeeping device, the 10th anniversary for many couples is the first moment when they become aware of the considerable expanse of shared lifespan already in their wake. Just as inexorably as the sun’s shadow casts the same sweep over the face of the sundial, each day you wake up and the same person is there next to you. There is nothing quite as poignant as marking the slow passage of time. Here’s to marking it with the right person.
For centuries people have been asking for the key to a happy marriage. It’s a wonder that it took so long for someone to finally make it. Judging by the demand, they’re going to make a killing off of this.

This is the key that opens the most impenetrable of doors, the door to the human heart.

A lot of the time we call the small gestures we make “tokens” of our affection. But what nobody ever points out is that those tokens are basically worthless, like stamped coins from an arcade that closed years ago. Unlike those metaphorical “tokens,” these real metal love tokens can be exchanged for things you actually want. And sometimes what your relationship needs is to re-establish some basic standards. Like, if someone gives you a token, you should be able to spend it on something. Problem fixed.
We might live in a digital age, with more photos of ourselves at our disposal than ever, but most of them suck, let’s be honest. And who really wants to browse them all on phone or computer? Why not curate only the best ones and have them printed and bound in book form?
An anniversary is typically a time when you take a step back from everyday life to look over the past with an appreciative eye. This dime pendant is a poignant reminder that an anniversary should be about the future too. And there it is, the future, hunkered down in a dark corner, smiling at you and whispering to come a little closer. Don’t worry, it’s not as creepy as it sounds. And you never get to the future anyway. Anniversaries are the perfect time to think about things like this.

Your anniversary is a wonderful opportunity to stop fighting for a whole day and express your love anew (unless one of you forgets, and then it’s World War III).

Choose from ready-made sets with messages already included, blank cards that you can fill in yourself, or Kindnotes will custom print your personalized set and jar.
If you’re considering going with gift as common as flowers, you might consider stepping it up a few dozen notches by dipping them in 24k gold. Just gather up all your extra gold, melt it in your crucible, and toss in your plants. Or just buy this Eternity Rose instead. Actually, it’s probably electro-plated not really dipped in molten metal, but you get the point.
We all know that diamonds are a girl's best friend. We also know they're insanely expensive. But a savvy shopper like you understands there are ways around the hefty price tags, like cat burglary or clearance and liquidation sales. When a big retailer like Helzerg Diamonds needs to make room for updated inventory they clear out last year's stock at steep discounts. These clearance sales are a literal gold mine of amazing gifts at "prices so good they're almost a crime", with items marked down thousands of dollars. You get to look like you broke the bank, without actually doing so. And really, who cares if that diamond ring is last year's model. Diamonds are forever right? To make things more tempting, Helzerg offers financing plans as long as 36 months. Click if you dare.
There is something undeniably touching about having an artist recreate your image by hand using the old-time tools of long-gone artistic masters.

If you’ve got one tiny little romantic bone in your body, there has to be a place in your heart for the old fashioned love letter, even if it’s the kind that makes you circle yes or no.

One thing they don’t tell you about married life is that it’s measured on multiple time scales. Once you’re married, it’s no longer enough to remember what time of day it is. You also have to keep track of what time of year it is, lest you overlook the anniversary and end up paying for it for the rest of your life. But there’s another level up from that: the “Holy sh*t, I can’t believe how long we’ve been together” time scale. That’s what makes this clock special: it tracks all three.
