Modern and traditional gift lists have different ideas about what you should gift your spouse for a particular anniversary.
First anniversary? Clocks… or paper. A fifth anniversary can be wood, if you’re traditional; silverware, if your tastes skew more modern. Fourteenth? You can go with gold jewelry or animals — but don't get your spouse a pet unless you've already discussed it.

Here are 25 ideas for that 25th anniversary present, in a variety of price ranges and styles.
