For the momentous 55th wedding anniversary, emeralds appear as both the traditional and modern gift suggestion.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Consider your spouse. Would they want his-or-hers emerald rings, or might they prefer a fresh coat of green paint in the kitchen?
Step 2

Be practical. Emeralds are precious stones, so they can cost a lot of green.
Step 3

Consider interpreting the suggestion creatively. Green can be golf-related gifts, landscaping services, a green tree planted in their yard or tickets to Ireland - the land of the green.
Step 4

Shop around; check out online stores, catalogs, and specialty and department stores before you commit yourself.
Step 5

Enclose a personal gift card.
Step 6

Wrap your gift perfectly, and if you can, deliver it in person.

Tips & Warnings

Consider peridot instead of pricier emeralds.
How about sending flowers every week for 55 weeks? Or perhaps a fruit basket with grapes, gooseberries and kiwis.
