FAQ
How much should I spend on my sister's anniversary?
$50-120 for routine years; $150-300 for milestone years (25th, 50th).
Should I get something for my brother-in-law too?
The wedding-song canvas IS the gift for both — his name is on it. No separate gift needed.
What if her marriage is rocky?
Skip the wedding-song canvas. Default to a photo of the two sisters together, a sister-specific song canvas ("Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac is the most-ordered sister-anniversary song in our data), or a non-marriage-specific gift.
