An experience instead of a thing
Fifteen years: raise a toast in the new crystal at a dinner party with friends.
Make it personal
Pair the theme with something only you two would understand: a place, a song, a date. A short handwritten note listing a favorite memory from each year costs nothing and is often the part people keep. Need words? Try the message writer.
These are the themes most widely published in the US. Lists in the UK and elsewhere differ for a few years; follow whichever your family uses.
