Top 10 Modern Ninth Anniversary Gifts

When purchasing clothing for your spouse, check their closet first for correct sizes. A nice leather jacket appeals to most everyone. Leather pants aren't for everyone though.

Make sure you have the correct size before you buy shoes for you spouse. If possible take a comfortable old pair of shoes with you to make sure that you get the right fit.

What can we say about belts? I wouldn't be too thrilled to receive one as a gift, but they are practical. Make sure your spouse likes or wears belts before purchasing one. Don't forget to check size too.

Does your spouse like to keep his/her desk organized and uncluttered? A leather desk set may be just the right gift. It wouldn't work for either of us. We would just lose it under the pile of papers on our desks.

Be very, very careful in selecting a handbag for your wife. Women are picky about the purse they carry. It took me 2 hours to select my last one. I had to make sure it had enough little sections and pockets to keep things organized, yet not be too big at the same time.

Be careful in selecting a wallet for your husband. Bob has several brand new ones stashed away because they weren't exactly what he had before.

If your spouse is a person-on-the-go type, then a new briefcase may be appreciated. Knowing how your mate organizes papers and documents will help in selecting the right one.

A leather backpack can be utilized in so very many ways including camping, travel, and for a romantic picnic.

Surprise your spouse with some new luggage along with airplane tickets to a romantic destination for the two of you.
