The goal of a wedding is a union that lasts a lifetime, but that doesn’t mean that those years should be taken for granted. Celebrating wedding anniversaries, particularly the big ones, can be a great way to nurture your relationship and show appreciation for your spouse. Your 15th anniversary is certainly one worthy of extra attention and celebration.
The Gifts
Anniversary gifts are often dictated by a theme for each year, traditional and modern suggestions that can give you a starting point as you search for the perfect present for your spouse. Crystal is the traditional gift theme for the 15th wedding anniversary, while watches are the modern option, according to Hallmark, the indisputable experts on all things celebratory. Consider gifting each other with engraved crystal wine glasses or a his-and-her watch set.
