ALT-1 Best Anniversary Presents under 50
Your anniversary is a very special and important day that should be recognized and celebrated, often with a gift for the man or woman that you love. You have built a life together and have a history with. There have been good times and some that may not have been so easy, but somehow you've made it another year together in a day when many couples throw in the towel too soon and too easily. Congratulations are due you!
The current economy has not made gift giving the easiest that it's ever been, however. If you were only a millionaire, this man or woman that you are married to would probably get the world on a silver platter to mark the anniversary of the day you committed your lives to one another, but for those of us who aren't so financially fortunate, there are still plenty of wonderful anniversary gifts that can be purchased for under fifty dollars, that will have meaning and will make our spouses feel as special and loved as they are.
One example that I will give you was something that I actually received from my own husband, a shock because as an old rancher, he is not often the most romantic of men. He had a book made for me that told the basic story of our courtship and how we got to the point of marriage. To do this, you simply go online tohttp://www.bookbyyou.com/romance/default.aspand will be asked some questions about you, your spouse, and your own story. The book is then made for you and mailed out in a fairly prompt manner. This is a gift that will be treasured for years to come.
For a wife, there is a lot of cubic zirconium jewelry that looks as good, or even better, than real diamonds. These can often be purchased set in sterling silver or with a gold overlay that will keep them nice for a very long time and can be found extremely reasonably priced, especially at websites such as QVC.com or HSN.com.
Gift certificates are always nice to receive and fifty dollars is an amount that a person can really go out and get something that they want. Think about where your spouse likes to shop and get the gift card from there, rather than just a generic one that he or she may be tempted to spend on something other than a present for themselves.
For the sports lover, you may be able to purchase a set of tickets to an upcoming game that he or she would enjoy. The tricky part about this, though, is that you should not buy them assuming that you will be using that second ticket, especially if you don’t share that interest with your spouse. Or, you could even purchase a special sporting event pay-per-view and purchase some snacks and beverages to have along with it.
You can also consider going on websites such as eBay.com or other bidding sites where you can purchase something that is in like new condition for a substantially lower price than you would be able to find the same item in the brick and mortar store environment. There is also Amazon.com and Overstock.com where you can find new items at great prices.
Create a special night for two that is spent at home by purchasing things that will enhance and encourage a spirit of true romance for you. Candles, finger foods to feed to one another, a CD of romantic music that you can burn off your computer, a bottle of champagne on ice by the bed, and sheer fabric hung around the bed from the ceiling will transform your bedroom into a place of wondrous love on your anniversary. Candles can be found at dollar stores as can other items that can be used to decorate.
There are actually many things that you can get for less than fifty dollars which make wonderful anniversary gifts. Today, almost anything can be personalized with engraving or silk screening for a fairly minimal fee, making the gift all the more personal and special. Whatever you get, give it with love and a card or love letter . Your anniversary is not all about the gift that is wrapped but the gift of another year of love that you are sharing together.
