How to Select and Buy a 20th-Year Wedding Anniversary Gift
After two decades of marriage, it's time to celebrate your 20th wedding anniversary. While this is not considered one of the major anniversaries, it is still an accomplishment that deserves recognition. One of the ways to do that is for each spouse to select and buy a special gift for the other.
- Decide if you want to be traditional or modern in your gift giving. For the 20th year of marriage, china is considered both a traditional and a modern gift to give. An alternative take on the modern 20 year anniversary gift is to give platinum.
- Take the likes and dislikes of the person or people receiving the gifts into consideration before you buy. Contemplate whether he or she prefers gifts that are creative or more traditional in nature.
- Look for and select items such as a china tea set or china dinnerware if traditional gifts are what your spouse or the anniversary couple prefer. Another thoughtful idea for a gift that falls into this category is a personalized china plate that states the couple's name and the year that they were married.
- Give a gift with a more creative, literal interpretation of china by planning a surprise anniversary dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
- Buy jewelry if your spouse prefers that type of gift. For this anniversary, choose something that includes platinum. For your husband, consider giving him a platinum ring. A wife may also consider a platinum and diamond or other jewel ring is a thoughtful gift or a platinum and diamond pendant.
