I thought this was a pretty cool idea for wedding gift if you're on a budget. Came in on the Dollar Stretcher e-mail, which you can subscribe to here:
One of the most cherished wedding gifts we received consisted of five wine bottles with hand-made notes attached. The white was to be opened on our first anniversary, the red is to be opened in 2010, etc. The last one being a port to be opened in 2025.

Our best man went to a local wine shop and spent a half an hour with a knowledgeable clerk. Though he didn't know much about wine, he was able to find bottles that were inexpensive now but will age appropriately for their "to be opened" label. And they would be very expensive in five, ten, or 25 years! It's one of those gifts that we will cherish, and enjoy, for a very long time, and it's a reminder of all the good things yet to come.

Here's something cool Rob and I doing for our decade anniversaries. We get our anniversary picture taken every year. On our tenth anniversary, we had an additional picture taken of us holding an 11 x 17" picture of the two of us on our wedding day. On our twentieth anniversary, we will hold up that picture, and so on, every ten years. I saw an amazing picture of a couple that did this every decade for fifty years. It was so cool--seeing the two of them and how they aged together, the pictures they were holding like a tunnel back through time.
