WHY THESE GIFTS?
The custom of giving a specific gift
for a particular anniversary has long been a tradition, however, the
type of gift for the specific year is often disputed. the gift
also varies from country to country.
Many people forsake the suggested items for
the early years, and then follow the suggested items for the
"milestones", such as 25, 50, and 60. And in case you
were wondering, it's really the 75th anniversary that's supposed to be
the diamond one, not the 60th, but so few couples live to see a 75th
anniversary that it's usually commemorated at 60.
