Matching shirts
Whether you want to be funny, silly, cute or actually kind of cool, there’s a lot of room for interpretation with this gift.

Thoughtful gifts could be as simple as a key tag with a special message on it like the ones from Feather Project (www.instagram. com/featherproject), merchandise from a movie or TV show you know they like, or even a nice engraved watch. A gift based on your inside jokes or special moments throughout your relationship shows them that you remember and cherish all those moments that are uniquely yours. Get thinking!
