Celebrating Your Fourteenth Anniversary

What a great time to celebrate! You are secure, comfortable with each other and after fourteen years you are still in love. Give your partner a fourteenth anniversary to remember.

Ivory Gift Suggestions

Ivory can be a tricky category if you or your partner is concerned about animal rights, since genuine ivory comes from animals. You might consider a visit to a zoo or circus to celebrate the grandeur of the elephant or book an African safari to actually see the elephants in the wild as an ivory-themed gift for the animal lover.

If you want to purchase an ivory gift, there are alternatives to animal ivory such as vegetable ivory (also called tagua nut) and Mandarin ivory, which is synthetically made. These two can provide just as stunning carvings as those from animal ivory. There are accessories and jewelry made of faux ivory on Etsy.

There are some beautiful tagua nut jewelry available on the online store of Native, as well as a great handmade ivory hummingbird appropriate for your anniversary in the summer months. You can see the hummingbird here.
