Wedding and Anniversary Gift Idea - Crystal, Gold and Silver Wine Goblets, Glasses And Champagne Flutes

Wedding and Anniversary gifts are among the toughest gift-giving challenges we can face, especially when the happy couple have been together for decades - what do you buy for a couple that already has everything?

You want to give a gift that is both meaningful and special, something that shows them that you care and that celebrates their love for one another. And no one likes to give (or receive) a gift that will just sit on a shelf and never be used...

When you're stuck for an idea for that perfect wedding or anniversary gift for a friend or loved one, why not turn to tradition?

Traditionally, we give gifts of various materials for those milestone wedding anniversaries. Here are some of the commonly given gifts for those milestone anniversaries:

• For Newlyweds, Crystal is commonly given, often in the form of a vase or glassware.
• For the 10th Anniversary, Tin and Aluminum were the traditional gift ideas. Since Pewter is an alloy that is mostly made from Tin, it makes a great alternative without being exorbitantly expensive.
• For the 20th Anniversary, Platinum is traditional
• For the 25th Anniversary, the traditional gift is Silver
• And for the 50th Anniversary, nothing is more traditional than Gold

Here is a list of other traditional and contemporary anniversary gifts.

Since most of these are expensive precious metals and out of the reach of many gift givers, a more affordable gift idea might be wine goblets or champagne flutes. These are great gift ideas that the happy couple can get plenty of use from, as opposed to something pretty or expensive but not as useful - like a serving tray or a picture frame.

Wine goblets and champagne flutes make wonderful gifts for celebrating both the newly married couple and those long-time lovebirds.

Pewter is an excellent alternative to the traditional tin or aluminum theme, since it it composed mostly of tin.
