36 years of the wedding - what is the date and what is the gift for it?

A family's birthday is the most important event in the life of every person. Celebrating this holiday, you should not be limited only to round dates, because each year of life together is full of various happy events, which require mandatory celebration. 36 years from the date of the wedding - it would seem that the date is not round, and therefore there is no point in celebrating it. And yet this period has its own special meaning.

In Russia, the date was not named, so many couples borrowed it from American families and call the 36th anniversary of the wedding the wedding of bone china. The holiday is not devoid of prejudices, many superstitious people try to do without the celebration on this day, fearing to destroy the fragile porcelain marital happiness. This period is really considered a crisis in the life of the family, the spouses are tired of routine and monotony, but if the couple together reached this date, then the marriage can be considered strong and durable. Is this not a reason to arrange a holiday?

Bone china belongs to rare and expensive materials, and therefore the family should be valued and protected this year. You can mark the date in a quiet, family-like manner. There are no special traditions and rituals associated with the date of 36 years, but it is better to avoid a noisy feast. To forget about boredom and discover new qualities in each other, you can celebrate the anniversary in an unusual way. For example, going on a trip together.

If the date is celebrated at home, then the hostess should take care of the cake and the porcelain service, which must be put on the festive table. There is no need to call a large company. You can arrange a romantic evening or invite children.

The viewing of joint photographs brings the spouses closer together on this quiet evening. Flipping over the photo album will remind the heroes of the occasion of their past feelings and wake up new ones. If there are children and grandchildren at the table, then it is imperative to acquaint them with the history of the first meeting, the first kiss, tell about the wedding itself and the birth of children. Another interesting ritual is forgiveness. Over the years, and especially in the last crisis year 36, grievances have accumulated between the spouses, even secrets and secrets are possible.

During the celebration of the anniversary, you can cleanse yourself of grievances and tell your partner about your experiences, listen to his secrets and claims. The main thing is to know when to stop and agree in advance that none of the spouses will sort things out right at the table, otherwise the holiday will end in a quarrel. A husband and wife should simply take note of the statement of their beloved, ask for forgiveness, forgive and continue their life together with a clear conscience and an easy heart, leaving all grievances in the past.

Even if the spouses still refused to celebrate the date, surprise each other with a gift is the most important ritual in the life of a family. Someone likes to give gifts, while others panic when choosing a surprise for their soulmate. Use the following guidelines when looking for a gift.

If we are talking about an average family, then a new handbag will be a good gift for a spouse. Ladies know how quickly this item wears out. And even if the spouse does not guess with the shape and color, then his wife will always be able to pick up a dress or accessories for her purse.

At any age, ladies are happy to receive a certificate in a beauty salon. An even more original gift will be a massage certificate. For so many years, the spouse is tired of running a household, she will gladly surrender herself to a professional massage therapist. If finances allow, then you can buy tickets to her beloved country, give earrings with diamonds and rubies, buy a fur coat.

It is better for the spouse to choose a gift that relates to his hobby. If he is an athlete, then you can get a sports water bottle, and if he is a fisherman, then a new rod or a comfortable folding chair for fishing will do. A good gift is a bottle of your spouse's favorite strong drink, for example, cognac or whiskey. Mugs are always relevant, because this thing has the peculiarity of beating.

If you order a mug with the image of your husband or with the logo of his favorite football team, then the man will definitely take good care of such a gift. However, consider the preferences of your spouse: if he drinks tea exclusively from a huge men's mug, then this is exactly what you need to purchase. You can joke a little, for example, make a custom-made T-shirt with the inscription "Ideal Husband". If the spouse is a respectable business man, then cufflinks with agate or a more original stone, for example, onyx, will be a good gift.
