My ten-year anniversary is coming up and it got me to thinking about the list of "traditional" anniversary presents. Seems to me that the not so traditional couples should have a list too. Because I am a realist and like presents, I don’t want to wait a whole year before giving or getting something, so this list can be days (if you have a lot of free itme and money), weeks (if you know the relationship is more of a summer fling), months (if you know the relationship has a chance of surviving a few holidays) or years (for those of us that are too lazy to keep shopping or too content to shop).
1. Latex: condoms, vibrators, plugs, clothing oh my! There are so many options ranging from the free condoms at Planned Parenthood to latex sheets.

2. Leather: a collar is traditional, but also think shoes or boots, bras, necklaces, whips, or key chains and cock rings.

3. Lace: don’t feel compelled to go for lacy panties, there are lacy thigh highs, lacey bras, lacey pillows, lacey sheets, and laces on arm binders, thigh binders, corsets, and some cbt toys.

4. Ice: seems easy enough, ice cream sorbet, ice cubes and so on, you can be more creative and go to snow country for a get away.

5. Rope: There are all the obvious options, but don’t forget licorice rope!

6. Sugar: share a candy bar, a few fancy chocolates, play with sorbet and their nipples, get a sugar wax together, or coat your lover in body chocolate.

7. Cotton: white cotton panties anyone? How about all those cotton blend ropes? A good old fashion game of "plantation owner"? ribbons and bows? A good sturdy throw rug to make floor play a little easier on the bones? A weekend away at an old plantation turned B&B? there are so many options for every budget.

8. Musical: there is little sweeter than receiving a cd full of "our music" unless its going to a concert or better yet the opera (wearing something illegal under all that finery.

9. Ceramics: think ornaments here, be they statues, figurines or somewhere in between. Ceramics can also cover computers parts or new dog bowl for you little Fifi.

10. Steel: toys, jewelry, collars, cbts, boots, dishes, the list goes on and on. For the budget conscious think play time to heavy metal or steel pulse.

11. Wood: canes, paddles, and kneeling stools are favorites, but don’t dismiss a camping trip, "fertility" symbols (make sure your birth control is working well first!), clothes pins, and all those little touches around your play room like and etched wooden toys chest for you Dom(me).

12. .Precious metals: Gold and Silver, or gold lame and silver body glitter. Be it an engraved slave/master ring set or personalized porn written in metallic ink, there is a wide range of ways to celebrate.

13. Rubber: This includes Jelee, and Neoprene of course. There are so many options that the mind and wallet both boggle: Jelee glowin the dark novelty (remember that Jelee and like materials can be hazardous and are linked to cervical cancer and yeast infections), neoprene restraints, a full selections of whips, oodles of clothing (REI has some rad stuff), and so on.

14. Semi precious stone: captive beads for body jewelry, collars with stones on them, rings, slave bracelets,the list goes on here too. and includes lots of great finds at your local toy store.

15. Silicone: a full range of toys, fake boobs, a trip to silicone valley or the beach, or even a full body massage with a silicone based lotion/lube.

16. 2. Furniture: this can be something small like a kneeling pillow or something large like a Catherine's cross.

17. Aluminum: Vibrators and plugs are available in shiny aluminum, but there are also cuffs, nameplates for collars, spreader bars, and don’t forget whipped cream! Its bottle is made of aluminum.

18.. PVC/vinyl: don’t let you mind stop at clothing and records, remember the hardware store! PVC piping. I think saran wrap falls under this heading myself.

19. Visual arts: think porn here. That can be a girly magazine, a feature film, a date at the strip club, a painting, nude pictures of yourself (or of them) or, for those on a serious budget, people watching in the park.

20. Wax: funny candles, hair removal, even those tasty wax lips (can you get those any more?) are fun and exciting options (come on, don’t tell me that you didn’t have those thoughts about wax lips too). Don’t for get furnature wax for a fun way to keep you and your play partner busy cleaning all those wonderful accent pieces around your playroom!

21. Silk: again don’t think just boxers or stockings (not that these are bad gifts!), let your inner freak go wild. Silk ropes, collars, and cbt toys are popular and easy to find. Silk sheets are a wonder in themselves. Silk soy milk baths are unique and good for your skin (not recommended for hot tubs). There are some seriously sexy whips and flogs available. And just think what treasures you could find in Hong Kong or along the old silk trade route.

22. Oil: Easy huh? Or is it? Besides massage and mineral oil there is bruise balm (a good thing to have around no matter what your kinks include), furniture oil, "oil baron gets nasty with the household help"( yes you do have to the Texas accent), almost any sort of meal will include oil.

23. Cotton: white cotton panties anyone? How about all those cotton blend ropes? A good old fashion game of "plantation owner"? ribbons and bows? A good sturdy throw rug to make floor play a little easier on the bones? A weekend away at an old plantation turned B&B? there are so many options for every budget.

24. Glass: there are some fabulous Pyrex dildos on the market ranging from cheap to down payment on a nice car range.

25. Precious stone: yes diamonds are on this list but also sapphires rubies and emeralds. If a big navel pendant isn’t in your buget, think jewel tones condoms, vibrators, or, with consent of course, leaving some jewel tone marks on your lover.

I think perhaps the order could use some work, so if anyone has any ideas about order please comment them. If you have any gift ideas, I would love to add them to this list too!
