Alfresco dinner dates, skin-baring sundresses and lazy weekends make the hazy summer months some of the most romantic of the year. Subsequently, the season leaves an abundance of anniversaries to tend to. Whether you’re celebrating a year’s worth of matrimonial bliss or a decade of devotion, slacking off on presenting your significant other with an insignificant memento is simply not an option.
