- I'm looking for the list of gifts for each anniversary year. Such as 1st year = paper etc. Could you please tell me where I can find it?

- I was browsing your web site hoping to find a section that would help me with my son's baby book. My son was born in 1997 and I'd like to put some trivia in his book for when he looks at it years later. I don't want it by month (which is what I found on your site). I just want to know things like: Best selling books of 1997, Popular entertainers, Popular magazines, Biggest Headlines, Top movies, Top songs, etc. Is there anywhere on your site that I can find such information? I'm having another baby any day now and will need the same information for 1998.
- How do I find what time the Sun will rise and set on a particular day: October 4th?
- What gift or color signifies a tenth anniversary? (For example, the color representing the 25th anniversary is silver.)
