I spotted the Ben's Cookies stall in the covered market (it was the first ever one - you can read about it here) and just had to buy Ben a tin of cookies, even though as as student about to graduate and then get married, I was pretty broke.
Spot the difference! This year, for my anniversary present, Ben bought me a second tin, filled with eight most wonderful chocolate cookies. We ate them over the last two days, and the tin will become another favourite, and may even last as long as the previous one, still going strong...
I made him an anniversary card, using brass and nickel buttons, as I discovered that a 21st wedding anniversary is, technically, a brass and nickel one.j
I like anniversaries. I like the opportunity to think back and really count my blessings...

Happy anniversary. xx
Hello Floss:
These are not only wonderful things to keep in themselves but also serve as reminders of very happy and precious moments.
In a similar way we have the, now, alas, empty, boxes of Fortnum and Mason's chocolate truffles which were given once as a lovely present for an anniversary.
Best wishes to you all on your anniversary. I love the wit and sentiment of the gift and card!
This is sweet. A happy anniversary to you and Ben.
Congratulations on reaching 21. May you have many more years together, filled with love, joy and laughter
You are a romantic pair! God's richest blessings on you both x
Happy Anniversary! What a fun way to celebrate. They must be very special cookies!
congrats and best wishes....
Just happened across this "old" post now and had to say - my dear Mr and I met while graduate students in Oxford and we loved Ben's Cookies! I was up for two years, he was up for one, and when he went back to Paris, I gave him a Ben's Cookies mug to take with him. 14 years later, we both live in Paris and we still have the mug!
