Yes as promised here is the list of the modern wedding anniversary gift categories I discusses in my previous post about the traditional wedding anniversary gift ideas. If your like me and many others you really never have a clue what exactly your supposed to be buying your wife or husband for your wedding anniversary.  Yea we’d all like to think we do but do you really know what the modern anniversary gifts are supposed to be? Here is a list of what is currently considered to be the right gift to buy for your wife or buy for your husband for each year of your marriage.

1st Clocks  -  Are you kidding me I need to buy my wife a clock for our first wedding anniversary!! 
2nd China  
3rd Crystal & Glass

5th Silverware  
6th Wood  
7th (copper)Desk Sets
8th Linens & Lace  -  Ok maybe its time to spice it up a bit with some nice lingerie
