Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Gift Ribbons
• Anniversary Greeting Cards
• Gift Cards
• Bronze Fountains
• Flowers
• Wrapping Paper
• Chardonnay
• Bronze Or Copper Jewelry
• Gold Earrings
• Silver Plated Pieces
• Credit Cards And Loans
• Gift Certificates

1. Think bronze, or any metal, for this anniversary. Keep in mind, however, that silver and gold are well covered in other years.

2. Consider your life partner. Would they like a bronze lion's head for a door knocker, or would bookends be more their style?

3. Shop around and think creatively. Use the Internet, catalogs or specialty shops in your neighborhood for something unique; visit a department store for something a little more traditional.

4. Remember that bronze is a broad category, but think heavy and useful. Paperweights, bookends, drawer pulls and window dressing decorations are popular these days. Even fireplace tools and wall hangings such as masks or mirrors make very nice presents.

5. Enclose a personal gift card.

6. Wrap the gift and deliver it in person if you can.

Tips & Warnings

• Many museum gift shops have unique and wonderful gifts such as pins, statuettes, fountains and more.
• Think out of the box. What if you took your original wedding invitation and had it bronzed, as people once did with baby shoes?
