In 1922 Emily Post wrote her first etiquette book listing traditional anniversary gifts for the first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth and fiftieth wedding anniversaries. In 1957 Ms. Post expanded the list to include more anniversary years, recommending gifts for the first 15 years and for every five years after that. The traditional anniversary gifts for the early years of marriage are inexpensive and more practical than gifts for the later years. The traditional first anniversary gift is paper. Paper has been used for centuries to exchange ideas and express feelings.
