    From the article: “The origins of the current gift conventions date to 1937.[citation needed] Before that, only the 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 50th, and 75th anniversaries had an associated gift. In 1937, the American National Retail Jeweler Association (now known as Jewelers of America as a result of an organizational merger) introduced an expanded list of gifts. The revamped list gave a gift for each year up to the 25th, and then for every fifth anniversary after that.”

    It’s just a marketing scheme to sell more bullshit. I hate consumerism lol.
