Anniversary gifts for the earlier years of marriage tend to be more practical household items. For later celebrations, such as the 25th anniversary, they tend to be more along the luxury line. When giving anniversary gifts, be creative and make the gift memorable.
A husband and wife may buy anniversary gifts for each other, and may sometimes receive gifts from very close friends or family. Generally speaking, though, they shouldn't expect anniversary gifts from other people except for a landmark anniversary (e.g., the 25th). Such an occasion might be celebrated with an anniversary party to which guests would bring gifts.
