Dating anniversary gifts: the day, the place, and what you tell him
The anniversary of the day you met is the one date in a couple’s life that no calendar knows, which is why it matters: nobody is going to remind you. It is first of all a gift from her to him, for a man who will never buy himself a piece of jewellery but will wear this one. Two things from a first meeting can be engraved: the place and the day. The place fits in two lines of coordinates nobody else can read; the day sits under two initials. In between, a heartbeat to say it without it showing, two puzzle pieces that only read together, or three marks on a single line for a man who likes nothing loud. Allow €23.90 a bracelet, engraved in Aveyron and posted within 48 hours: for Ireland, order ten days before the date.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good one-year anniversary gift for a boyfriend?
Something that marks the day without weighing on it: the initials and date bracelet, which engraves your two letters and the date you met, or the GPS coordinates bracelet, which keeps the place without showing a name. At one year, a place says less than an engraved name, and it lasts just as long. Both are €23.90, engraved to order.
What dating anniversary gift for a man who does not wear jewellery?
A bracelet that does not look like jewellery: a 4 mm marine cord, a 17 mm wooden bead, no clasp. The heartbeat reads as a line from a distance; the GPS coordinates as two rows of figures. Neither shows a name, and that is what keeps it on his wrist.
Can you engrave the time or the evening you met, not just the day?
Yes: on a bracelet the date is engraved exactly as you type it, on a single line, and nothing stops you adding the time — “14.06.21, 10 pm”. But every extra character makes the line smaller on a 15 mm plate: beyond fifteen or so, the date becomes hard to read. The place, on the other hand, always fits in two lines of coordinates.
We no longer know the exact date we met: what do we engrave?
The place. An approximate date, once engraved, stays wrong; a place stays true. The GPS coordinates bracelet engraves the two lines of the spot to four decimal places, and you check them on a map before ordering. The pub, the station platform, the beach: an address is all it takes, and nobody but the two of you will know how to read it.
