I bought this as the traditional paper gift for our one year anniversary and could not be happier. The color is a perfect muted moss green and the gold embossing is not too flashy. My husband absolutely loved the thought behind the gift knowing that for years to come this is a tradition we will be able to do no matter where we are at in our lives. We ended up purchasing one for his sister as a wedding gift after receiving ours and seeing what amazing quality it was.
