The divorce rate for first marriages in the United States is currently hovering at around 41 percent and for all marriages, it’s closer to 50 percent. Given these astonishing statistics, it’s no surprise that wedding anniversary celebrations are something of a big event these days.
Five and ten year anniversary celebrations usually involve a major gift from the husband to the wife. For men who don’t usually do much shopping, this can be a big challenge. If you’ve been married long enough to celebrate a big anniversary, you also probably know better than to run into Target and pick out the first cubic zirconia earring set you see. A big anniversary calls for a well thought out, personalized gift that comes from the heart.
If you’re not sure what type of jewelry your spouse likes or wants, start out by looking at the jewelry they’ve already got. Does she have a lot of nice earrings, but not a single cubic zirconia necklace? You can’t go wrong purchasing jewelry that compliments pieces she already owns.
Don’t be shy about seeking assistance from friends and family members if you’re not sure what pieces of jewelry she likes, or what pieces go together. This is exactly the kind of thing that sisters, mothers and mother in laws live for.
One jewelry style that’s very popular these days is the charm bracelet. This updated take on the classic piece of little girl jewelry is an ideal way to personalize your gift giving. Most jewelry stores have a large selection of charm bracelets charms that can be used to commemorate any number of life events. Common charms include wedding rings, baby pacifiers, and geographical landmarks (to commemorate a honeymoon). It would be a pretty unusual woman who was not touched by a gift as thoughtful as this.
Jewelry is really the ideal anniversary gift, even if you’ve already made plans to take a vacation to commemorate the date. There’s nothing wrong with surprising your spouse with a gift of jewelry while you’re on vacation. Consider having the gift mailed ahead so that the front desk clerk at the hotel can hand her the package when upon arrival.
Keeping a marriage together is a lot of work and that makes anniversaries all the more special. If you’ve made it five, ten, or even twenty years, reward yourself and your spouse with a nice piece of jewelry and a vacation.
