Anniversary gift ideas
First, think about the couple that you are buying a gift for. What would really make their day? Is there something that they have been needing for ages or have they mentioned how much they would like to do something? If you can buy a gift that is tailored to what they want, it will be extra special.
Traditional meanings
If you are not sure about what to buy, then it may be advisable to go along with the traditional meanings to anniversaries. The first wedding anniversary is paper, so you could buy tickets for a play or show. The fifth wedding anniversary is wood, so you could buy them a lovely piece of bespoke wooden furniture. The tenth wedding anniversary is aluminium or tin. This one is a bit trickier, but a gift which is suitable for the kitchen might be ideal here.
Gift ideas
As the years go up, they gifts get better. The 15th wedding anniversary is crystal and the 20th is china. You will be able to purchase some nice quality gifts made out of either of these. The 30th wedding anniversary is pearls, the 40th is rubies and the 50th wedding anniversary is gold. Look up the year of the anniversary for which you need to buy a gift. This will give you an idea of what to buy.
More gift ideas
Wedding anniversaries also have gemstones, colours and flowers attached to them. Search on the Internet so as to find a list of items that are attached to the wedding anniversary that you want to go shopping for.
Choose flowers
Flowers are great anniversary gifts. They are gifts that can be ordered online and are ideal gifts for easy delivery. For the first wedding anniversary, the flowers to give are pansies. For a tenth anniversary, gifts of daffodils are appropriate. The
20th anniversary is signified by lily flowers and the big 50th anniversary has violets as its flower of choice.
Additionally, you can choose gift baskets that have traditional meanings. Flowers are always a good choice, but do not forget to think of what the special couple would like best.
