\nJust as there aren\u2019t official rules that fit every romantic partnership, the \u201cappropriate\u201d wedding anniversary gifts by year<\/a> aren\u2019t written in stone–nor iron, copper, bronze, tin, steel, gold, or diamond. The origins of the traditional anniversary gift list are shrouded by the mysterious, misty mists of time, anyway.<\/p>\n

The “traditional” guide for anniversary gifts by year featured mostly practical items, to help couples set up their new homes. The modern list, created by the American National Retail Jewelers Association in 1937, is (surprise!) big on precious metals and gems. As much as we adore sparkly baubles, we don\u2019t believe that jewelers have the authoritative last word on this subject.<\/p>\n

However, an anniversary gift guide of what\u2019s generally considered appropriate can be a lifesaver: without one, it’s easy to succumb to mental paralysis when you need to come up with anniversary gift ideas for friends or relatives celebrating X years of marriage.<\/p>\n

With all this in mind, here is our own fresh guide of anniversary gifts by year: traditional, modern, and, of course, uncommon.
