Your wedding day is just the first of many, many days as husband and wife. Each anniversary, you and your spouse can celebrate another year together, and fortunately, there is already a set list of symbols and gift ideas to mark each milestone! You can find a chart for each anniversary celebration and its corresponding traditional gift, modern gift idea, gemstone, and flower here: http://www.the-wedding-anniversary-site.com/wedding-anniversary-gift-list.html.
Gift Ideas through the Years:
1st Anniversary - Paper is the traditional gift for year number one! You could order your spouse monogrammed stationery, a journal or notebook, a unique map from somewhere you've traveled together or thought about going, a scrapbook, a calendar, tickets to a show, or go on a romantic picnic using paper products. Cute!

2nd Anniversary - If you saw "cotton" and "straw" and immediately thought about removing nail polish while on a hay ride... well, that makes two of us, but I would not recommend celebrating your second wedding anniversary in that fashion. Instead, think beyond the cotton ball and buy new cotton sheets, towels, or knitting supplies. A hay ride may not be a bad option, but you may also think about wicker storage baskets, handbags or hats.
These ideas were inspired HERE.
3rd Anniversary - If leather jackets and motorcycles are not your cup of tea, you could opt for a leather bound book or a leather bookmark. Maybe a leather carrying case or wallet?
The 4th Anniversary is traditionally celebrated with books, flowers or fruit.
For the 5th Anniversary, a wooden frame, engraved wooden chopsticks for two, a wooden ice bucket or a personalized wooden cutting board, would all be considered acceptable gifts.

Skipping ahead to the 10th Anniversary, aluminum and tin are the traditional gift ideas to commemorate the occasion. A sculpted jewelry tree? A new set of cufflinks?
The following anniversaries are just some of the big mile markers and the traditional gifts associated with the celebration:
15th Anniversary - Crystal.
20th Anniversary - China.
25th Anniversary - Silver.
50th Anniversary - Gold.
75th Anniversary - Diamond.
