A man really only has to remember two dates throughout his life. The first is his own birthday and the second is his wedding anniversary. He can even get away with forgetting his children’s birthdays as long as he doesn’t forget his wedding anniversary. His wife will always (hopefully) remind him of everything else.

When it comes to buying a present, the trouble is that traditional wedding anniversary gifts can be slightly uninspiring to begin with. Year one is paper, followed by cotton in year two. Even after 10 years of love and devotion, we are supposed to celebrate with tin! Things do take a turn for the better at 25 when we reach the silver wedding anniversary, followed by pearl, coral, ruby and so on up until the ultimate goal of the diamond wedding anniversary at 60 years!

Here at Turquoise Holidays, we love a celebration and especially one which is all about love and devotion. Therefore, we have come up with an alternative list of travel-related special wedding anniversary ideas. We can assure you these gifts wouldn’t be ones you would forget, filling you and your loved one with memories, stories, and experiences to lighten the long winter months of love and marriage. So, if you are looking for something different, fun and exciting for your anniversary celebration, no matter what milestone you’re at, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with our dedicated team of anniversary specialists.
