Guide To Wedding Anniversary Gifts
The first wedding anniversary is the paper anniversary. You
could buy a framed original edition of a newspaper for example
of your partner's date of birth or tickets to a show.
The second anniversary is the cotton anniversary. Of course you
could buy underwear or lingerie but maybe matching bath robes is
more your style.
The third anniversary is the leather anniversary. This is one
that may or may not be acceptable to your partner but it can be
fake leather if you prefer. Anything from leather belts to a
leather cell phone cover to a leather strapped watch is
appropriate.
The fourth anniversary is the fruit and flowers anniversary. If
you often send flowers then this might be the opportunity to try
something a little fruitier.
The fifth anniversary is the wood anniversary. Instead of
thinking about a wooden carving or piece of wooden furniture you
could take a long anniversary weekend in a romantic log cabin
and get away from your hectic lives for a few days.
The sixth anniversary is the iron anniversary. I am talking
about the metal, not the appliance unless you want to risk
buying a new iron for your anniversary. A better option may be
wrought iron furniture such as a garden loveseat.
The seventh anniversary is either the wool or copper
anniversary. Obviously these two are very different but it does
mean that you could buy a woollen blanket for those cold nights
in or matching copper bangles.
The eighth anniversary is the bronze anniversary. A perfect gift
for this anniversary might be a bronze sculpture or a vacation
to do some bronzing in the sun. You don't have to be literal
with the anniversary gift.
The ninth anniversary is the pottery anniversary. I used to
think that this was one of the most predictable of all the
anniversary gifts where most people would by a cup or plant pot
made from pottery but then I was given a great idea by my
friend. She actually arranged to do a reconstruction of the
pottery scene from the movie 'Ghost'. Enough said I think!
The tenth anniversary is the tin or aluminum anniversary. These
days aluminum is used for a wealth of items but tin tends to be
a little rarer. A good gift for this anniversary would be an
aluminium watch or other personalised item.
