Anniversary gift traditions are an odd thing. If I were to follow the old tradition, I’d be giving my wife ivory (though, the updated, more politically correct gift suggestion stresses the importance of using imitation ivory). Don’t misunderstand me, I think fourteen years of marriage deserves something significant; I just know that my wife deserves more. Any woman who is able to accept a man for who he is and love him unconditionally is worth much more than ivory. I was fortunate enough to find such a woman and after fourteen years, I could probably get her the mounted elephant head and she’d still laugh about it (though maybe not right away) and love me anyway. For that I’m grateful and blessed.

It has to be real Ivory. It is the only one that floats in the bath tub.
