Looking for an Original Anniversary Gift? 3 Unconventional Ideas

Especially when you have been with your partner for so long, gift ideas for anniversaries can get a bit predictable and mundane. So you don’t fall into the trap of giving your partner what everyone else typically gives – dare to do something different this year.

Forget the usual flowers, chocolates and candlelit dinner for two. Here are 3 unconventional ways you can celebrate your anniversary together…

1. The adventurous anniversary gift. Step outside your comfort zone and do something you normally wouldn’t. Consider buying you and your partner tickets to go up in a hot air balloon. Budget permitting, consider drawing a town or country out of a hat and then going to visit that place. Or consider walking a popular hike in your area that usually only tourists come to do.

2. The touchy-feely anniversary gift. Each year that you have been together write your partner a letter telling them how much you enjoyed doing all you did. Include everything you can remember – big and small. Your partner will be touched by your thoughtfulness and be glad to re-read what you have written over your future years. If you have only been together a couple of years, perhaps you could write a letter for each month you have been with your partner.

3. Buy your partner a star. If you think your partner would appreciate a star being named after them, go ahead. Or you could name a star after your favourite song or other meaningful name. You can look up at the night sky together knowing your star is shining from above. Do your research on the internet and choose a foundation which donates a good percentage to a deserving charity.

When you do something unexpected for your partner to celebrate your anniversary you will create a memorable and romantic one. Since your partner is the one person who you have chosen to share your life with, they deserve some extra attention. Surprise them with a unique gift idea.

It doesn’t take much extra thought and effort on your part. If you don’t like any of the suggestions above, go ahead and brainstorm your own list to get your creative juices flowing. Or you could pick the brains of your workmates, friends or other family members. You will be chuffed with what you come up. Seeing the look of pleasure on your partner’s face will be worth your extra effort.
