The Year 21 Pattern

After 21 years, gifts that gather dust are out. Brass and nickel both age beautifully — the longer you have them, the better they look. We see couples pick one functional brass piece (compass, key holder, bookends) and pair it with a wall keepsake that documents the year in numbers (anniversary date, kids' birthdays, the song).
