24th Wedding Anniversary Gifts for Him, Her… and the Couple
Granite is the traditional gift for the 24th wedding anniversary in Spain and although granite may not sound like the most romantic natural material, it is the ideal combination of strength and beauty. Buying the lucky couple a thoughtful trip to Spain, where some of the best granite in the world is mined, is a great start to any anniversary. If your son or daughter are into their geology then an additional stop would have to be the Dolmen of Guadalperal (nicknamed the ‘Spanish Stonehenge’), a submerged megalithic monument comprised of more than 100 granite stones.
