What to look for in a bronze anniversary gift

• The material: Rather than being made of bronze, your gift will likely feature a bronze coating (and that’s totally ok!). Just ensure you pay careful attention to how you care for and clean the product. If you want to buy something made of real bronze, test it with a magnet. If the material is real bronze, the magnet will fall off. Bronze also doesn’t rust; another way to spot it is to observe if there is any corrosion.
• Thoughtfulness: Always consider your spouse's interests and hobbies when purchasing a gift, even if it means straying from the anniversary theme. Customization is another way to add a thoughtful touch to a gift, so look for items that offer monogramming or other personalization options.
