It can be challenging to find the perfect holiday gift for your partner. However, finding the right present for anniversaries can be even more difficult. Maybe you’re a new couple, and you celebrate your monthaversaries, or perhaps you and your partner have been married for years. Regardless, finding the right gift is important because it represents your appreciation and love for your romantic relationship and partner.
If you feel like you’re struggling to come up with perfect Anniversary gift ideas for your loved one or are two busing planning a fun day that you haven’t had time to even think about it, here are some fantastic suggestions for you.
1 A Framed Photograph
A simple and romantic anniversary gift for who you love is a framed photograph of the two of you. Consider framing a picture of significant milestones in your lives like your wedding or first photo together. A special photo of the two of you is a great way to remember and honor the special moments you’ve experienced together.
If you want to make this anniversary gift even more spectacular, consider upgrading to a cheap canvas for a modern display of your photograph. Printing photos onto a canvas is a great way to boost the quality of your photos.
You can also include a handwritten letter to go with your gift. Handwritten letters are a great way to express your feelings to your partner and will be special to read again years later. You can tape your note to the back of the canvas or write it on a notecard to place beside the photo.
2. A Personalized Playlist
Whether you want to go the old school route with a mixed tape or CD or simply create a playlist off of your favorite music downloading app, your special someone will love the thoughtfulness and creativity that you’ve put into curating an anniversary playlist for them.
You’ll want to include songs that are special to the two of you and others that make you think of your partner. You might even include a few to jog up specific memories or milestones that you have had together. Be sure to title your playlist something sweet as the cherry on top of this go-to anniversary gift.
3. A Signature Cake
Nothing says “happy anniversary” like a signature cake. If your partner has a sweet tooth, you can create a custom cake with your lover’s favorite flavors and toppings. Include a funny or sweet message to go on top. Many local bakeries offer tons of lovely options for high-quality cakes. Just make sure to order ahead of time!
The cakes you get at the grocery store are limited in their design capabilities, so it might be best to work with a baker who can customize your cake exactly how you want it. Find some romantic candles to fill the room up with some romantic lighting and ambiance or to top your cake.
4. A Handmade Scrapbook
Your anniversary is about celebrating your relationship and the time and experiences you’ve gone through together. A scrapbook is a special way to honor those memories. Create a colorful photobook or digital picture frame of some of your best moments together throughout your relationship.
You might even title the scrapbook with the dates that the pictures run through. Get creative with the scrapbook paper and cutouts you use to decorate your book. Personalize it to your partner’s tastes so they’ll enjoy your decorations as well as the thought and effort you put into making their anniversary scrapbook.
Gifts From The Heart
The best budget-friendly anniversary gifts are those that come from the heart. Whether you use music, artwork, photographs, or food to convey your message, your partner will love whatever you come up with that reminds them of your love and care. Consider the above four suggestions as you create your budget-friendly anniversary gift this year.
If you own a property, you could be making money without selling your home. How? Well, there are a variety of ways. From conventional options to other non-traditional ideas, you could be making money off of your home.
Here are some ideas for you:
Rent out a room
If you live in your home but have a room or two to spare, you may want to consider renting out a room. While this is something that you want to be careful with since you’ll be sharing a home with someone, it could be a great way to make money while also having some company. If you’re moving forward with this option, it’s a good idea to run a rental background check to ensure the person entering your home is trustworthy.
Rent out the whole property
Maybe you moved in with your partner or you relocated with your family and now you have a property that’s empty. The best thing you can do if you’re not ready to sell your home is to rent out the home so that you can make a passive income from it every month.
This is another instance where tenant screening is importantsince you want to be sure your home is taken care and is in good hands while you’re renting it out.
Host events
If your home is an older home with style and class or has a beautiful large yard, consider renting it out for events every now and then. A big estate in the country may not be where you want to live at this time, but it may be a place that you can make thousands of dollars from simply by renting it out for weddings, viewing parties, and other big celebrations.
Make sure to work with a property manager to help you handle booking and marketing of your space to make it easier for you.
Offer the room or home on vacation property sites
From Airbnb to Vrbo, there are various ways to rent your home on a temporary basis. Instead of renting out your home to someone who lives there permanently, you can schedule blocks of time where you can rent it out to guests who visit for a weekend or so.
This is a great option for those who may live in a highly coveted area or a location that is near some type of attraction, such as the ocean or a famous national park. You may also want to think about renting out your home during specific times of the yearwhen visitors from around the country arrive to your city. For example, in Austin, SXSW or ACL would be ideal times tomake a good chunk of cash from your home.
Run a business from home
This is something that many people have begun to do since the pandemic started due to in-person businesses closing down.
If you’ve been throwing around the idea of starting your own business, instead of renting out a brick-and-mortar storefront, consider running the business from your home. As long as you have a space to work from and have the proper paperwork in order, it’s the perfect way to save money and make money.
In Conclusion
If you invested in real estate and want to start seeing some profit, there are a variety of ways you can make money off your property.
Whether you feel comfortable living with someone and want to rent out a room or want to rent out the whole property, there are so many different ways to make money off your home. So, choose the option that works best for you and your lifestyle and start growing your income.
If there is one common item you will find throughout my home, it is candles. My favorite way to clean a room is to light a candle at the very end. It’s my way of feeling complete about the job I’ve done to get that space back in shape then give it a fragrance.
RareLumiere candles have 100% cotton wicks in glass vessels. I love the colors and scents. Choose from 5 scents – Aspen, Florence, Tahiti, Tangler and Notting Hill. These candle fragrances will transfer your senses to locations where you may feel familiar, such as the smoky wood notes of Aspen.
RareLumiere uses raw materials hand pours their candles in the US. Each candle has a 55 hour burn time. I get a slow burn with very little pooling at my wick when I burn these candles. Visit RareLuminiere to learn more and order your candles for the spring cleaning moments you will have real soon.
