Family Tree - Anniversary Gifts - Forty-Fifth Anniversary

If you're looking at your forty-fifth anniversary and thinking that time flies, well, maybe it does. Certainly, it can't be 45 years that you're married. In any case, you are and this year you're going to pay through the nose because of it. The anniversary gift idea for this special year is none other than the sapphire. If your eyes just bugged out with dollar signs, don't worry, There are actually some sapphire gifts that you can get where you don't have to mortgage your home to get them. If you need help thinking of what they may be, you've come to the right place. We'll give you more than enough ideas to make this anniversary one that you'll both remember for a very long time.

We should clarify one thing before we begin. Just because you're not going to have to take out a second mortgage to get these gifts, you are going to have to put a decent sized dent into your wallet. Sapphires aren't cheap. That's why the list makers waited until your 45th anniversary to send you out into the world to get one.

For starters, you can get your spouse a sapphire birthstone tree. You can have your family tree engraved into this as well as a couple of sapphires inserted. This is a perfect gift for this anniversary and only costs about $100.

Moving up the food chain a bit, you could also get your spouse a nice diamond and sapphire channel ring. The sapphires and diamonds come on a 14 caret gold band. These are some decent size stones and the whole thing is going to cost you about $400 depending on the number of stones and the size of each.

If you like, you can go for a single large sapphire white gold and diamond channel ring. The ring has one large sapphire in the center with smaller diamonds surrounding it. It also comes on a 14 caret gold band. This ring will run you about $450, again depending on the size of the sapphire.

If the above items are a little out of your price range or if you want to add something to them that doesn't cost a lot of money, you can get your wife a lovely pair of sapphire earrings. Each earring comes with a 2 caret sapphire centerpiece. These earrings go for about $30.

Another nice addition to the above items would be a sapphire bracelet watch. This watch is an actual bracelet that just happens to have a timepiece in the center. This makes for a very unusual gift. The good thing is, you can pick up one of these rather cheaply. These watches start at around $20.

For the man in your life, you can get him a pair of sapphire studs. The sapphires are about 2 carets and the pair goes for about $10. Your man will look great with these hooked up to his tuxedo shirt if he has the right kind of shirt.

The above anniversary gift ideas should be more than enough to make this very special day one that you'll both remember for a very long time.
