An anniversary is a celebration of an important date in somebodies, or multiple people's lives. When it comes to relationships, or wedding anniversaries, these annual dates are celebrated with not only joy, but also gifts. 

Traditionally, each major anniversary has a theme attached to it - and that theme would be reflected by the gifts the happy couple receive.
