Traditional and modern, make a fucking decision!
I love how they tried to reinvent the anniversary gift traditions to move up the more costly goods to lower anniversaries.
10 years: Traditional: Tin/Aluminum; Modern: Diamond
20 years: Traditional: Chian; Modern: Platinum (They move platinum ABOVE silver and gold on the fucking list?!)
25 years: Traditional: Silver; Modern: Sterling Silver (The difference is that you HAVE to buy the jewelry!)
30 years: Traditional: Pearl; Modern: Diamond (Again with the diamonds!)
Then they make one up:
100 years: Traditional: (N/A); Modern: 10 carat Diamond: VERY SPECIFIC. Like a 120 year old could afford a fucking 10 carat diamond!
I understand you have to get something to replace the now-illegal ivory, but c'mon people.
And for the record, I'm coming up on 6 years this month. I'm getting my wife DVDs. Not wood. They might be considered Iron in a way, though. Does that count? Definitely didn't get her silverware nor wood last year.
