For those who want to find a gift which will really make their anniversary special, you could use the traditional gift themes to help you find a gift which will make someone's day. Because they are fairly broad, it means you can always find something which will relate to the theme but still acknowledge the specific date.

For a first wedding anniversary, where the theme is paper, you will probably want to find something meaningful to mark the first year of married life. You could give your partner a voucher for an experience that the two of you can enjoy together such as a day, an evening out or even a weekend away so that you can make memories that will last until you have celebrated many more years together.

For your cotton anniversary, other known as the second, you may find yourself casting around for something more inventive than a pair of socks, so thinking outside the box could be the way to go. A canvas featuring a picture of the two of you on your wedding day, another image from your lives together or a special image which means something to the two of you could be a great way to decorate your marrial home and celebrate your special day.

The third anniversary is traditionally celebrated with gifts made of leather, which can be a trickier concept for romantic gifts. However, you could always go for a practical but still romantic idea such as treating your partner to a pair of soft leather gloves, having a personalized key-ring made or finding a watch with a leather strap to mark the time until your next anniversary.

After four years together, celebrating your anniversary with fruit or flowers is the established tradition, and when it comes to fruit, there is a natural segue into wine, which is always well received. A really nice bottle, or even one which has been personalized, is a great way to celebrate your anniversary together, or you could mix it up with a trip to a vineyard, a champagne afternoon tea experience or even something like a fruit tree which could blossom and produce fruit every day through your relationship.

Wood is traditionally used to celebrate your fifth wedding anniversary, and this milestone anniversary is a great opportunity to splash out on something like a beautiful handcrafted picture frame to provide the perfect home for a picture of a special occasion. If you want something a little more extravagant then why not consider a piece of art made from wood, or even an item of furniture which will be a part of your home together.

Once you have been together for more than five years, it appears that tradition exists that couples become a little more adventurous, so you could find yourself choosing a range of sweets for your sixth anniversary to celebrate with sugar, a scarf to mark your seventh anniversary with wool, a trip to the seaside with a slap up meal of fish and chips to celebrate your salt anniversary once you have been married for eight years.

For your ninth anniversary, you could try a twist on the traditions of copper by buying a beautiful piece of jewelery for your partner unless they have always had a desire to learn to play the trumpet in which case you might like to know that they are made partially from copper too. When you hit the big ten, your task will be to find something romantic made from tin, but unless you want to present your loved one with a can of baked beans, you might want to look into jewelery, cufflinks or other decorative items.

Traditionally there is no substance used for celebrating your eleventh anniversary, so enjoy the break to think of something made from silk or fine linen to help you celebrate your twelfth anniversary, sometimes a new bedding set or even clothing if you are confident in your partner's taste .

Finding a crystal gift to celebrate your fifteenth wedding anniversary could be as simple as a beautiful ornament or engraved glass and for your china anniversary of twenty years it is worth considering something special like a trip to a pottery or even making your own ceramic creation for your partner.

Your silver wedding anniversary is the perfect opportunity to splash out, as is the 30th which requires you source something suitable in pearl, although mother of pearl might prove a handy substitute if you're having trouble finding inspiration. By the time you reach your fiftieth anniversary, you should have enough golden moments to help you come up with the perfect present, but you could always fall back on the classic option of an eternity ring which will show your partner just how much you care.

Achieving 60 years together warrants a special gift, and the fact that tradition dictates that this should have something to do with diamonds is no doubt intended to reflect that fact. If splashing out on the real thing is not an option, there are plenty of alternatives such as diamante encrusted trinket boxes, lucky sixpences from the year you were married or even a diamond shaped paperweight which can take pride of place on your desk and reminder you of all the experiences you have shared over the years.

Choosing a wedding anniversary present need not be a nightmare, but give yourself plenty of time to let inspiration strike and you are sure to come up with the perfect gift.
