How to Celebrate a 49th Anniversary

For this big occasion, reserve a table for two at a Michelin-star restaurant and enjoy an exquisite tasting menu that you would never attempt preparing at home – it’ll be hard to forget.

Arrange a private limousine trip around the town, a romantic hot air balloon champagne breakfast, or even a helicopter flight over some local attractions to offer your loved ones a taste of the celebrity life.

If your tastes are simpler, a two-person hammock for your patio as a luxury item might be ideal if you want to relax and enjoy some private time while watching the sun go down.
