Porcelain, the 18th wedding anniversary gift suggestion, is from the contemporary gift list. The traditional list doesn't include this anniversary.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Gift Ribbons
  • Anniversary Greeting Cards
  • Birdbaths
  • Flowers
  • Garden Fountains
  • Porcelain Dishes
  • Porcelain Statue
  • Wrapping Paper
  • Chardonnay
  • China Plates
  • Credit Cards And Loans
  • Gift Certificates
  1. Step 1

    Think porcelain, chinaware, bone china or ceramics for this anniversary.

  2. Step 2

    Consider your spouse. Would they like delicate china teacups, or a modern cool cobalt bowl?

  3. Step 3

    Shop around and think creatively. Use the Internet, catalogs or specialty shops in your neighborhood for something unique, or go to department stores for something a little more traditional.

  4. Step 4

    Enclose a personal gift card.

  5. Step 5

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

Tips & Warnings
  • Porcelain is not everyone's cup of tea, but maybe a Chinese tea set would please somebody. How about a vase, lamps, candlesticks or a fruit bowl? Or consider fountains, a statuette from the last century, antique beer steins, or matching his-and-hers sink bowls for a bathroom redo.
  • If your partner is just not the porcelain type and you still want to give from the list, you could purchase tickets to a museum showing porcelain. A gift certificate for ceramic lessons at a nearby school or shop could also do the trick.
  • If you're stuck, you can commission something from a potter, but make certain you allow enough time.
