How's this for a creative and original gift?

Earlier this week, Ellen DeGeneres shared on her talk show that when her and Portia de Rossi's annual wedding anniversary rolls around, she gives the same thoughtful present.

To mark the annual occasion, DeGeneres hires a skywriter to, well, write in the sky whatever year they are currently celebrating.

In addition to showing her audience the most recent one, she also pulled up similar-looking pics from the previous three years as well.

Pretty sweet, right?

The couple celebrated their most recent anniversary with a barbecue at a ranch near Santa Barbara, Calif., in August. Sofia Vergara, Katy Perry, Gwen Stefani and Michelle Williams were among those who attended.
