An anniversary countdown is a way to make your anniversary extra special by celebrating it with thoughtful and meaningful activities in the week leading up to the special day. It does not require extravagant gifts, impossible budgets or months of planning. Start with small, daily activities that recall special memories, such as preparing a favorite meal together or taking a walk on a familiar street. Work up to the big day with by revisiting the location where a pivotal moment in your relationship occurred, or indulge in a shared pleasure that helps cement the bond between you.
