Wedding Anniversary Gifts by Year

Every year - no, every DAY - of marriage is special and should be celebrated with a gift.

However, to make it easier to remember and easier for your bank account, there are a bunch of key years of marriage that are associated with their own materials and themes, like the Ruby 40th anniversary.

Take a peek below to find the important years and to learn their themes - we've also included a gift suggestion for each year!

1st Anniversary - Paper

Kicking it all off is the Paper Anniversary, representing the blank canvas that you both will fill with the future years and experiences together. The memory of the beautiful day is still fresh in your head - you can hardly believe it's been a year!

Taking inspiration from the world famous Scrabble game, this poster is perfect for a Paper Anniversary gift. The simple and stylish design allows you to personalise the scrabble-style tiles on the poster with 2 names that are interlinked. You can even include the wedding date in the top left corner.

2nd Anniversary - Cotton

The 2nd anniversary is cotton which signifies the maturing of the relationship and two souls becoming further interwoven with each other - how cute!

This card would also make a beautiful addition to your home and is great for framing and keeping as a milestone memento.

Celebrate with this stunning copper gardening set makes light work of gardening tasks, has solid ash handles which are curved for comfort, and features high quality copper-plated garden steel.

Inside the beautiful gift box, you'll find a 70 cl bottle of our finest Scotch Single Malt Whisky. It comes with its own professionally designed label personalised with a name, date and either a birthday or Christmas greeting.

We chose this wonderful single Speyside Malt for its clear, natural colour and unique flavour. We also chose this deluxe Silk-lined gift box as the perfect way to present it.

15th Anniversary - Crystal

All that is required to create this stunning A3 wall piece is the song title and artist for the lyrics that you wish to be displayed on the print.
