About Anniversary
An anniversary gift works when it could only belong to the two of you. That usually means three things on it: both names, the date, and a place or a thing you share.
Pieces that hold the story
The place contour tile turns the town where you met, married or first lived into raised contour lines, drawn from real USGS elevation data, with your names set in the second color. The now playing vinyl stand keeps the record that played at the wedding facing the room. A valet tray with both names catches keys and rings on the dresser, and a picture frame holds the photo everyone asks about.
For a work anniversary, the award plaque and the desk name plate carry a name and a line of thanks, set flush.
Following the traditional list
Many couples like to follow the traditional material for the year: paper for the first, wood for the fifth, tin or aluminum for the tenth, silver for the twenty fifth. Our free tools include a finder that matches each year to a piece we make today, with the material named honestly. A printed piece in a wood fill or a metal toned finish is a nod to the tradition, not solid wood or metal, and we say so on every page.
Every piece is printed to order, so give it about 10 business days before the date. Free shipping from $50.
Questions about Anniversary
What is the traditional material for each anniversary year?
The common list runs 1 paper, 2 cotton, 3 leather, 4 fruit and flowers, 5 wood, 6 iron (sugar in some lists), 7 wool or copper, 8 bronze, 9 pottery, 10 tin or aluminum, 15 crystal, 20 china, 25 silver, 30 pearl, 40 ruby and 50 gold. Our free tools include a finder that matches each year to a piece we can make.
Which piece suits an anniversary best?
The place contour tile is the favorite: a contour map of a real place, drawn from USGS elevation data, with your names and the date. The now playing vinyl stand and the valet tray are close behind.
How early should I order?
Order about 10 business days before the anniversary for Ground shipping. Made to order pieces ship within about 5 business days, then 2 to 5 days in transit.
Can I put a date in Morse code?
On pieces with the Morse finish, yes. The flutes spell a short word or date, and the card in the box shows how to read it.
What if a name is misspelled?
You have 12 hours after ordering to change the words. If we print something other than what you typed, the Keyed Promise reprints it free.
Do you make a material plaque for each year?
A plaque that changes material with the year is in design. Until it opens, the finder points each year to a piece that is available now.
