Make a gift basket for a romantic night in. Consider what you enjoy as a couple, whether it is basking in the glow of a fireplace, snuggling on the sofa with a movie, or picnicking in the backyard under starry skies, and make an anniversary basket to suit. For example, a bottle of wine, some cheese and a soft blanket to place in front of the fire might fit you best, or perhaps a basket filled with videos, popcorn and fuzzy slippers. You probably know your special someone better than anyone, so you will be able to make a gift that is just right.
