anniversaries are a benchmark of longevity, celebrating yet another year together.

There are charts which show the traditional anniversary gifts which correspond to the number of years marked.

Few of us can afford such luxuries. It's time to think outside the box for anniversary gifts! A more thoughtful gift may be the answer. Anniversary gift baskets are becoming more popular choices, satisfying your objective to mark the occasion with a gift that's truly meaningful, but which doesn't bust your budget. Here we've got several ideas to inspire you to create a lovely anniversary gift that might well be valued above the traditional paper, wood, china and leather, as well as precious metals and gems.

Anniversary gift baskets require some imagination on your part. A good starting point? What does your couple like to do? What activities do they enjoy? Are they the outdoor buffs, or do they spend their time reading? Is music central to their life? Framing your ideas from this perspective is certain to produce some great ideas. Let's see how to get your creativity flowing for a memorable anniversary gift basket.

1.This basket has universal appeal. A fine champagne and some exotic treats to consume while having a romantic snuggle fest can be a perfect gift. A box of chocolate truffles, a cheese ball studded with nuts, a box of upscale crackers and an assortment of dried fruits, Macadamia nuts, cashews, smoked salmon or whatever special treats they're into makes a nice repast for the celebrants. Caviar, anyone?

2.If they're into the night life, tickets to a concert, the opera, ballet or theatre production makes for a gala evening. Remember that they may have other plans for their anniversary, so purchase tickets for the following weekend. A small basket, with a split of champagne and the tickets completes this anniversary gift basket admirably.

3.Sports fans? Get a pair of tickets for an upcoming event featuring their favorite sports club. This gift basket is a winner and your 'basket' can be a simple anniversary card which contains the tickets.

4.This idea is always a winner with anniversary celebrants of any age. Buy them dinner at a fine restaurant. The restaurateur can make all the arrangements. Be sure to include champagne or a fine bottle of wine, as part of your anniversary gift basket when you make the open-ended reservation.

5.Book lovers and music lovers will thank you for your thoughtful gift certificate at a major book or music store. Here, a tiny, but nicely decorated basket suffices. Lining the basket with themed paper of musical notes or book motifs adds a little pizazz.

You can see how, with a little imagination, you can give the anniversary couple a memorable, thoughtful gift they'll value far more than those regular, stodgy ideas. Ooh, did I say that?
