        Decide between the traditional gift and the contemporary for the 15th anniversary of your marriage. When shopping for a couple, keep both partners in mind; sometimes one "couple" gift does the trick.

      • 2

        Think about glassware, chandeliers, objets d'art or bookends if you opt for crystal, the traditional gift. If the couple likes wine, a fine bottle and two crystal glasses would be sensational.

      • 3

        Use the contemporary list and consider his and her watches, or perhaps a clock. Are they a grandfather clock couple, or a school clock type? Athletes may need stopwatches, while culinary masters may want a new kitchen timer.

        Enclose a gift card with a handwritten message.

      • 5

        Wrap your gift, and if possible, deliver it in person.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Interpret the watch theme creatively: a dinner certificate to the restaurant where he proposed would be about time without being about watches. Plus, it's romantic.

    • Accept these gift choices as suggestions, and don't feel forced to take them literally.

    • If you engrave their Rolexes, make certain they'll love them. You can't turn back the hands of time to return them.
