Traditional gifts are great, and then there are these.

Ah, I love love. Even more so, I love celebrating those milestones, whether my own or someone else’s (I mean, your girl loves a solid reason to wear a cute wedding guest dress, but I digress). Perhaps traditional vows have been exchanged in front of loved ones, or maybe not. Regardless, a trip around the sun with a special someone at your side is nothing to scoff at. I mean, what are the odds?! And thus, anniversary gifts have their time (obviously) and place (in your beloved’s arms).
