It can be as simple as a paper heart made by origami for your 1st anniversary or a more expensive and beautiful sapphire ring for your 45th anniversary.

  • Thinking about the person that you are giving your gift to is also important!

Shared memories are also romantic and incorporating those into your gift would be perfect. It could be that you choose to return to where you proposed for dinner and to give your anniversary ring.
