Celebrating Love With Metallica


Romance doesn't need to be a dinner by candlelight or a romp in front of the fireplace. Romance can be loud and obnoxious. 

Metallica performed recently on Ford Field here in Michigan. Several couples purchased tickets as their anniversary gift to each other. It didn't matter they were surrounds by a kazillion people, they only had eyes for each other and the musicians on stage of course. 

Did you know the traditional gift for the 1st Anniversary is PAPER? Therefore concert tickets make a perfect gift (even if they are all digital now days.) Concert tickets make for a romantic stocking stuffer too.

Traditional Anniversary Gift Guide

 


In 1922, Emily Post, the queen of proper etiquette, wrote that only eight anniversaries required traditional gifts. However, records from the mid-1800s show the anniversary gift list with the first fifteen years and every five years after that from the 20th to the 60th, and the 75th. Today, the most commonly followed gift list is the traditional anniversary gift list, approved by Mrs. Emily Post.

I enjoy this list rather than the modern, gemstone, or flower lists. I like to be creative with gifts for my honey. While anniversary gift-giving has become a somewhat mandatory practice, it doesn't mean that you have to follow the gift lists. While anniversary gift lists are helpful for sparking ideas, it's more important to give a gift that expresses your love for your partner and comes from the heart.
