Wedding Anniversaries can be a fraught time. Have you remembered, or indeed has your other half remembered? What should you buy? Here at the Giftlab we've taken the stress out of the occasion and done some research to find out what gift you should be giving on which anniversary.

The tradition of giving a specific gift on a specific anniversary dates back to the Middle Ages, the idea being that the further into the relationship, the greater investment should be made as the marriage bond strengthens. So while you start off with paper after year one, you end up with diamonds by the time you've shared sixty years together.
