Wedding & anniversary gifts.
Long-form guides for the people in your life who are getting married, just got married, or hitting a milestone year. UK-focused, structured by relationship and budget. No listicle filler.
Twelve guides, split into two kinds. The relationship guides (wedding, engagement, unique, personalised) help you pick a gift by how well you know the couple and what they're likely to keep. The milestone guides cover every anniversary worth marking, from the paper of year one through to the golden fiftieth, with what each material means and what actually fits it. Both kinds end the same way: an honest spend band and a keepsake that outlasts the year, not a listicle padded out to hit a word count.
