Engraved Picture Frame

• Treat the couple to an engraved picture frame, which they can display on a fireplace mantel, a nightstand or in a home office. Choose an inexpensive but elegant silver or gold-tone frame to have engraved. Pick a modern shadowbox-style frame with plenty of room for a special message. Customize the frame with the words "Happy Anniversary" and the number of years the couple is celebrating. Include other personal details, such as the couple's names and wedding year. As a meaningful touch, have the frame engraved with a romantic poem or quote. If you own a sentimental image of the couple, place it in the frame prior to presenting the gift.
  
  

Italian-Inspired Dinner Gift

• Surprise the anniversary couple with everything they need to make a romantic Italian dinner for two. You don't have to spend a lot of money to buy taste-tempting ingredients. Fill a plastic colander with a bag of specialty pasta, such as spinach or basil-flavored, along with a jar of tomato sauce. As a special and money-saving touch, make your own pasta sauce and present it in a decorative glass jar. Round out the gift with bread sticks, almond biscotti and two single-serving packages of flavored coffee.
  
  

Chocolate Fondue Set

• Delight a chocolate-loving couple with an inexpensive yet charming fondue set for two. Chocolate-dipped strawberries and other treats will make a perfect ending to a romantic anniversary dinner. The couple can also use the pot as a tableside warmer for melted butter, gravy and sauces. Choose a set featuring a vibrant red ceramic fondue pot as a romantic touch. The set should also include fondue forks, a steel warming stand and a tea light candle. Pick a dishwasher-safe pot for convenience. If your budget allows, include a bag of chocolate chips and/or strawberries.
