                When it comes to buying anniversary gifts, it is difficult enough to try and select something suitable for the happy couple that you think is going to impress them both. You have to incorporate two interests or two different tastes in for example, flowers, wine or chocolates. When you are considering what on earth you can give to your partner to celebrate, the best anniversary gifts that you can present is, of course, yourself. After all, you have stuck with him through thick and thin, through the good times and the bad, in sickness and in health. So, the simple fact that you are still here ought to be anniversary gift enough. 

Even if you plan to present yourself to him, trussed up in impressively constrictive Victorian girdle to give you that ridiculously minuscule waist of 18 inches, and which thrusts your bust up around your neck like a bar maid from the Rovers Return, his reaction may well be 'Yep, very nice, now where's my anniversary gift'. He may well be impressed with the fact that you have done yourself up like a dog's dinner, and possibly cooked him a celebratory meal that tastes like one too, but he will be even more delighted with the wonderful anniversary gift that you have carefully selected for him to enjoy. 

To impress him in 5 ways, you could use the 5 human senses as a starting point for ideas. You will be working with sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. Let's start with sight. 

A truly romantic anniversary gift, and one that you can both enjoy together, is a Balloon Ride for Two. This lovely gift allows you both to marvel at the incredible views below you as the balloon soars up into the sky without the aid of noisy machinery. The peace and quiet is overwhelming up there, and you can capture the amazing things that you see on film, to keep for prosperity, to remind you both of that special day and the wonderful anniversary gift that you experienced in style together. You will get the opportunity to toast each other's health with a delicious glass of champagne, just to add yet another touch of elegance to the memorable day. He will not believe his eyes with this anniversary gifts tribute to one of the senses. 

To celebrate sound, why not enjoy some great music together. I'm not talking about buying him a CD of his favourite rock band, so that he can sneak off to the shed or the bath to enjoy it in solitude. After all, this is an anniversary gift from you to your special guy, and you want to be with him to enjoy the experience together. A perfect why to celebrate sound is to give him an Ultimate Summer Concert for Two, making it a night to remember forever. You will be present at a wonderful open air evening concert with splendid firework display in the balmy evening air. As well as the pair of tickets, this anniversary gift includes a Last Night at the Proms CD, a souvenir programme to keep forever and great seats with a good view. Your ears will appreciate this fabulous sensory anniversary gift so much that you will be recommending it to all of your friends. The Orient Express is at the top of many people's list of things to do at some stage in their lives, but time is of the essence and extremely limited and so even though most of us may yearn after the slow pace of luxury travel, but usually opt for the faster pace of modern transport instead. 

To celebrate yet another human sense, that of taste and not just good taste but fabulous flavours to be savoured, the Orient Express Luxury Dining for Two experience day makes a really luxurious anniversary gift from you to him to show just how special he is. This anniversary gift will make you both feel spoilt rotten as you travel through the British countryside on this famous and elegantly decadent train, enjoying a welcome glass of bubbly as you arrive, settling down to enjoy the rural views and then to tuck in to a fabulous 5 course meal, including wine and liqueurs. 

Touch one another, under supervision that is, and add a new dimension to your relationship with a gorgeous and exciting anniversary gifts of a Ballroom and Latin American Dancing Experience for Two. You will learn to hold each other in ways that you have never done before, and can choose to experience a sexy and sultry dance lesson in salsa or passionate tango. 

Finally your sense of smell will be stimulated with a lovely anniversary gift for 2 of a Rasul Experience, where you can enjoy a fabulous Rasul mud treatment in luxury surroundings as well as accessing the sauna, steam room and gym. Spend a whole day together relaxing and being pampered, but breathe in the earthy smell of the mud as it is massaged into your aching limbs.
