Your parents’ anniversary: if it weren’t for this day, you wouldn’t be on this planet. Or any other one. You took thousands of dollars out of their pockets and years off their lives. So stop thinking about yourself for one day and do something to make up for all of that. If you ask, they’ll tell you that you are enough of a gift all by yourself, and maybe they’re not just saying that to be nice, but they’d probably like something on this list too. Go ahead and make them feel special.

This kit comes with everything they need to record all the happy things that occur from day to day and collect them in a safe place to be relived again in the future. And it’s so much cheaper than therapy.

Give this precious anniversary gift of green for just one day!

There is something undeniably touching about having an artist recreate your image by hand using the old-time tools of long-gone artistic masters.

We all like to think we’re larger than life, but in truth we’re really just branches on the grand tree of our ancestry. Screw that, most of us are just leaves at best. Some of us are maybe just a little speck of caterpillar vomit on one of those leaves (you know who you are). Your family tree doesn’t have to be that detailed though.

Yes, your parents love your cooking, but they’d kind of like to get out for once. But if you buy them a restaurant gift card, you’re still sort of force feeding them. You should really stop that.

Or arguing over when the roof was replaced. You know how it is.

Personalized gifts are always the best. A picture frame is one thing; it’s something else entirely to show them that you know exactly what they want to look at by loading it with pictures that will make them happy.

When that rich jerk down the street buys a new Porche, you’ve got a choice to make.

A wedding/anniversary scrapbook is a great way to remember all of the events, people, unexplainable happenings, unfortunate utterances, and more that may otherwise have slipped through the cracks of the old memory banks.

Why not make one that’s all about the people around you — the family, friends, and acquaintances that have reached out over the months or years to let you know how much you mean to them or make you feel special. Or just gave you cool stuff you’d like to remember. A friends and family scrapbook is just the thing to make you both feel all warm and fuzzy on your anniversary.
