 year   old gift    --->   new gift
 
   1 -   clocks     ---> coffee filters
   2 -   china      ---> disposable diapers
   3 -   glass      ---> day-planner refills
   4 -   appliances ---> napkins & tissues
   5 -   silverware ---> paperback novels
   6 -   wood       ---> cardboard boxes
   7 -   desk sets  ---> local newspapers
   8 -   linens     ---> sticky notepads
   9 -   leather    ---> pogs & collectible trading cards
  10 -   jewelry    ---> coffee-table books
  20 -   platinum   ---> cute animal calendars
  25 -   silver     ---> pi&ntilde;atas & party hats
  30 -   diamond    ---> autographed photos of politicians
  40 -   ruby       ---> excelsior, confetti, & streamers
  50 -   gold       ---> disposable diapers
