Message
in a Bottle and Anniversaries
Your
anniversary. Simultaneously the most wonderful and troublesome
day of the year. Here you've got this great spouse whom
you love more than anything and one whole day made specially
to celebrate that love, and yet the mere idea of it
sends you into a panic. What will we do, where will
we go? What kind of gift should I buy, and what if my
spouse doesn't like? How can I make this anniversary
super special without resorting to dinner and a movie
again?
Relax,
take a deep breath. Message in a Bottle's got you covered.
These precious little bottles are so in tune with a
special anniversary, you almost won't believe it. Looking
for a great gift idea? Give your spouse several Messages
in a Bottle, each with a coupon for a special task.
Take a break from your chronically busy lifestyle by
including a bottled coupon for a home cooked meal (with
a special "dessert"). Or help your spouse
unwind after a long day at work with a bottled coupon
for a back or foot massage. These coupons can be for
anything your spouse loves, so get creative! Make them
redeemable for life, and your spouse will be bound to
plow you over with tons of anniversary kisses.
Want
to get more emotional on your anniversary? No problem!
Tuck a Message in a Bottle with a special poem into
a bouquet of roses -- but make sure you write the poem
yourself. Don't try too hard to make your anniversary
poem an award-winning masterpiece; just write whatever
comes directly from your soul. Sure, it might not be
from the pages of Walt Whitman, but it'll certainly
be from the heart. And besides, awkward prose when coming
from the one you love can be incredibly endearing!
If
you just aren't the poetic type, try writing down your
memories instead! Give your spouse a Message in a Bottle
for every year you've been together, each one containing
your favorite memory from that year. Been together for
over 30 years and don't want your spouse buried beneath
a pile? Include two or three years in every bottle.
And if you're newlyweds, base each bottle on a wonderful
memory from your first year together. What better way
to celebrate your anniversary than to spend time remembering
all the great memories you've created?
And
here's one that will definitely hit an emotional anniversary
chord: give your spouse a Message in a Bottle with your
wedding vows printed inside. Even if you didn't write
your own vows, this is a wonderful way to remember your
wedding day and informally renew those special promises
that brought you two together. But you might want to
tuck a handkerchief in there, too. There's nothing like
wedding vows to get those anniversary tears flowing.
