How do you celebrate your 23rd wedding anniversary?

Answer 1

The 23rd wedding anniversary is one of those in between years leading up to the big 25th! There isn't a traditional anniversary gift for this year, but the modern gift is "silver plate" and the gemstone is Imperial topaz, which ranges from pink to reddish-orange.

It is special because you've spent so many years together so plan a celebration that uses either a silver-plated gift or the gemstones. An inexpensive idea is to spray paint a box from a crafts store, decorate it with hearts and fill it with love notes & coupons. If you can splurge, also put in tickets to a concert, sports event or theater show as a special surprise.

The Imperial topaz is one of the most valuable topaz stones, so a jewelry gift would be especially appreciated. A pendant, earrings or cufflinks for the husband would be perfect.

Or plan a romantic evening at home and buy pink and orangish-red stones from a craft store. Line the bottom of a clear, wide bowl with them, fill it with water and float her favorite blossoms on top. You could also take several small clear bowls (buy them at the dollar store), insert a candle and holder, and fill up the rest of the space with the stones. You've created a lovely centerpiece that's filled with meaning for your 23rd anniversary!

Since you're looking forward to your 25th anniversary, why not begin making plans for it? Maybe begin a vacation "slush" fund. Set up a special savings account for it or purchase a 2-year CD. Present it in a silver-plated box.
