Tradition of wedding anniversary gifts

June 16th, 2015

A wedding anniversary is the annual commemoration of a love bound that two people made. The importance of an anniversary and the way it is celebrated varies from one culture to another.

Convention has it that because each wedding anniversary signifies a milestone, a specific gift should be exchanged by the couple or gifted to them by their family and friends. No one exactly knows how these stories and old wives takes their place. The main thought behind it is that the materials of the gift for each wedding anniversary correspond with the strength and quality of the marriage at that stage. For instance, fundamentalists believe that a gift of paper or made of paper for a couple’s first wedding anniversary represent the delicate and fragile nature of relationships.

There are many people who still follow this tradition of materials and some use to take ideas out on them on mile stone wedding anniversaries like 1st, 5th 25th, 50th and 75th. The tradition of material according to wedding years is as follows, according to U.S and U.K.

Gifting is not confined to the traditional material only. Many people don’t even bother about them and buy what they love to give.  When thinking for an anniversary gift, flowers and chocolates are the most popular. A friend of mine lives in abroad with his family in the UK. Unfortunately, he is always not at the hometown on his wedding anniversary. He used to send online flowers UK to his wife. The interesting part of the gift is that the number of flowers is always equal to the number of wedding years.

You can always complement your wedding gift with flowers, chocolates, cakes and balloon for an added effect. The tradition of using the material as a wedding gift can easily be used by gifting something awesome in that material that is according to the time and taste of the receiver. Gifting according to this traditional list is a fun and the gifts will be remembered with the years of celebrations.

Why your Mum would be more flattered by a simple Gift?

June 11th, 2015

Mums are special but they seldom want to divert this special attention to themselves. Mums are made this way to take care of everyone without expecting any return. They would keep working day and night to bring you up with the best of manners, shape your character well and to turn into a beautiful human being. They would not hesitate to take another chance to redo all the things to make you a better person because this is what they are intended to do. Mums always try to provide their kids with every special thing and make them feel special with their utmost care and attention. However, when you grow up you seldom see her demand that attention back or to feel special the same way she made you felt.

Mother’s day is one special day dedicated to give credit to our Mums for putting extraordinary efforts in motherhood. You do different things to cheer your mum like taking her for lunch or dinner, arranging a special gathering for her, sending her flowers or making special Mother’s day fruit basket delivery if you are away. All these gestures are kind enough to compliment your mum for her efforts. But it is the small things you do for her that would actually have a deep impact on her. Yes, Mums are like this as they would be more pleased by you helping her in household work than just take her on a lavish dinner on Mother’s day. You just don’t need to dedicate one day for her happiness. You have to make it evident in every other day that would make her glad of being your Mum.

So what could it be that is simple yet sweet way to let your Mom know how much you love and care for her? Here are a few basic things you can do.

  • Mum loves it when you take care of your things yourself. You don’t ask her about your lost sock, your new pair of shoes, your book or any other such item that belongs to you. You keep all your things within your reach and nicely at their places. Trust me your Mum would be more thankful for this any other thing.
  • Make her favorite dish at home by yourself. Whether your mum likes desserts, a special Italian cuisine, or any other her favorite recipe that think would astonish her if prepared by you just for her.
  • Laundry is one thing that everyone hates. Yes, Mums also do but they have to because nobody else does. But you can do to please her or just help her shed away some of her household work. Even if you just do your own laundry that would also do well to impress her

  • Motivational and encouraging words count the best thing to a Mum from her child. If your Mum is a housewife she would love to hear appreciation for managing the home so well. If she is a working lady, she would like encouragement from her children to achieve her dreams. If she has a passion but somehow she couldn’t pursue it because of her busy married life and children, you can pave the way for her to pursue her passion with confidence. Children are the biggest strength for a Mom hence, a little support from them is the ultimate goal every Mom seeks.

So this Mother’s day do not spend your time in lavish dinners or gifts, but just these little gestures of love, appreciation and encouragement will really matter to her.
