When it comes to wedding anniversary gifts, there are three different routes that couples can take. Some couples simply throw caution to the wind and buy any gift they please, refusing to follow any type of theme. Other couples stick diligently to the traditional anniversary gift schema, refusing to waver from the list for even one year. Finally, the third set of couples follows the modern wedding anniversary gift ideal. If you are in this final category and are fast-approaching your four year anniversary, then you will want to start looking for gifts that are appliances. Here is a list of some appliance-related gifts to help inspire you.
If you have a spouse who loves to spend time outdoors camping or hiking, then the perfect gift would be a S’mores maker. When the weather is too cold or rainy, you will be able to bring the outdoors in with this fun machine. You won’t need a campfire to make these sweet treats made of chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows. Instead, you just turn on your S’mores machine and you will have the taste of the campfire in the palm of your hands.
Maybe your spouse’s idea of a great night is dinner followed by a movie at the theater with a piping hot bag of fresh popcorn? Instead of spending upwards of fifty dollars catching the latest flick, rent a movie instead and get your spouse a popcorn maker for your anniversary. These popcorn makers are inexpensive but valuable additions to your kitchen, especially if you have a popcorn lover in your home. Box the popcorn maker up with a few of your spouse’s favorite dvd’s or a gift certificate to a local video rental store for a wonderful fourth-year gift.
Some spouses love keeping in shape by working out five times a week and eating only healthy foods. If this sounds like your spouse, the perfect “appliance” gift would be a juicer or smoothie-maker. Fresh orange juice can be at his/her fingertips or healthy egg-white and fruit smoothies can be his/her’s for the taking after a long run in the park or a lengthy weight-training session.
Check your banking account transactions. If there is a daily transaction at the local Starbucks or other local coffee shop, then it is high time you took matters into your own hands and bought your spouse an espresso maker. There is nothing like making your own high-brow drinks at home. Pair this espresso maker with a gift certificate for some flavored coffee or a coffee grinder and your spouse will be thanking you for years to come.
If you have a spouse who spends a lot of time cleaning the house from top to bottom, make his/her life a little easier by purchasing one of those new robot vacuums. This vacuum simply needs to be turned on and then it takes care of the rest, vacuuming under tables and chairs and in hidden corners. If you want to go a little further, pair this gift with a one-time maid service or a full year’s supply.
