August and September are amongst the most popular of wedding months. Meaning, not only is it wedding season, but it’s also anniversary season. In lieu of the standard anniversary gifts classic and modern, us Swim’rs had the idea to create our own cast of anniversary gifts beyond the expected. Since we work in advertising–we gave it a branded touch–and a realistic one.
| Anniversary | Classic | Modern | Branded | Realistic |
| 1st | Paper | Clocks | Apple Watch | You just paid who-knows-what to get married, so the first year is all about doing something cheap, but fun together. Our advice: a ticket to a local concert. |
| 2nd | Cotton | China | Levi’s shirt | A cotton Tee in your spouse’s favorite color. |
| 3rd | Leather | Crystal/Glass | Fossil leather wallet | New windows. |
| 4th | Fruit/Flowers | Appliances | Edible Arrangements basket | Trip to an orchard together. |
| 10th | Tin/Aluminum | Diamond Jewelry | Tiffany diamond | Borrow your spouse’s TIN + do your taxes. |
| 20th | China | Platinum | Wusthof Cutlery | A car part made with platinum. |
| 30th | Pearl | Diamond | Mikimoto Pearls | Have a fancy date night + eat oysters. |
| 40th | Ruby | Ruby | Garment from Ruby | Dinner out at Ruby Tuesdays. |
| 50th | Gold | Gold | De Beers gold jewelry | A celebration dinner with your family + friends. |
Now that we’ve given you our ideas, send us yours.
