Anniversary gift list | What I Wish
It depends on the year and on how you celebrate. Early anniversaries tend to be about things the home still lacks; milestone years call for an experience or a trip that justifies several people chipping in.
What always helps: mix price ranges, add one or two group options, and note details like sizes, colors or dates. Every guest finds something within reach and nobody has to guess.
Each year has a traditional material (paper, cotton, wood, silver, gold) and some people use it as the theme for the gift. It works as a guide, but what helps a gift-giver most is knowing what the couple wants, not the material of the year.
On a dating anniversary the gifts often come from both sets of friends, and each group coordinates on its own. The usual result is two identical gifts or one nobody asked for.
Milestone anniversaries are the classic moment for a gift too big for one person. With group gifting in What I Wish several people contribute to the same item.
