2010 Anniversary Gift Guide

20-Year Anniversary: China
When you think China you either think fine dinnerware or the country. We think we've come up with something in between. A gift this year would be easy, simply find an item made in China. We know that's taking some serious liberties, but no matter what you get, you're probably going to find that sticker on there somewhere regardless. We've tried to narrow down the options for you a bit.

Most people usually focus on the fine china when thinking about refreshing your dinnerware. But what if you're a casual couple? This set of casual china from Mikasa is dishwasher and microwave safe. This 16-piece set includes four 10 1/2" dinner plates, four 7 3/4" salad plates, four 8 3/4" soup bowls and four 12-ounce mugs. The simple black and white threads will stay in style for many years to come. After 20 years of marriage, it's time ditch the chipped cups and plates, even if you are casual.
