An anniversary.
came and went. dawned and dusked. ebbed and flowed. yinned and yanged.
I love the anniversary wish list of traditional gifts; I love reaping anniversary gifts of chrome, wood, iron, steel and leather. Especially, if that anniversary gift is a brand new shiny vehicle with a big red bow and KEYS!
However, it is really the "list" that I find very unique.
Math Problem #1: Let's say you are married 1x @ 5 years; 2x @ 8 years; 3x @ 11 years. Which gift-year would you get on the third marriage on the eleventh year not including 1 year of dating?

*** notice there isn't even a gift suggestion for the 90th year?!
*** the jewelry companies would prefer bling to be added before the 25th anniversary
*** however, modern US #10 states "DIAMOND" but, ladies, do not wait til #10 to trade-up because by year 10 you will have too many committments tying up your dollars. Get the DIAMOND before you get married!!
*** was this list compiled by a male?
*** a musical instrument on the 24th anniversary because one or both of you is hard of hearing by then.
A simple new list:
Year HIS preference Her preference
1st leather/lace jewelry
2nd see above car
3rd see above house
4th see above plus enhancements
5th see above see above
6th - 100th see above see above
