The tradition of giving certain gifts on certain
wedding anniversaries dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. Over the
years, the lift of gift ideas seems to have evolved to meet more modern
standards. While many couples like to come up with unique ideas each year,
sometimes it can be fun to follow tradition. Below, we look at some traditional
and modern anniversary gift ideas.
Wedding

1. The First Anniversary
The traditional gift for a first wedding anniversary
is paper, but today sees many couples gifting each other clocks, or event smart
TVs for your next date night movie.
2. The Second Anniversary
For year number two, cotton is traditional but today,
many couples give each other china.

Leather is the traditional gift for year number three,
but modern couples opt for crystal. If you really want to spoil your beloved, The Diamond Jewellery Studio has unique
pink diamonds that will make her smile.
4. Fourth Anniversary
Flowers or fruit are most traditional on your 4th
anniversary, but today’s couple prefer appliances, like a fancy espresso
machine or handy robotic vacuum.
5. Fifth Anniversary
If you make it to your fifth wedding anniversary and
want a traditional gift, go for something made of wood. For a more modern twist,
choose keepsake silverware.
6. Sixth Anniversary
Iron or candy are most traditional for a sixth wedding anniversary, but today’s couples actually choose wood, such as a personalised
wooden cutting board or decoration for the home.
7. Seventh Anniversary
Copper or wool were the order of the day a long time
ago, but today it could be anything from a desk set to a juicer.
8. Eighth Anniversary
Pottery or bronze are the most traditional options for
year number eight, but modern couples tend to choose lace or linens to
celebrate this milestone.

Beautiful, bespoke pottery was the traditional gift
for a ninth anniversary, and it still could be. Why not surprise your beloved
with a beautiful piece of pottery and a lovely piece of jewellery hidden
inside?
10. Tenth Wedding Anniversary
Aluminium or tin were the most traditional options for
a tenth wedding anniversary, but today it’s diamond jewellery, like a rare pink
diamond or gorgeous diamond bracelet.
11. Eleventh Anniversary
While steel items were once the order of the day,
today’s couples go for items like fashion jewellery in silver or stainless
steel for men.
12. Twelfth Anniversary
For year number 12, couples used to gift one another
linen or silk, but today, it’s about gorgeous pearls that can be paired with
just about anything.

be celebrating, it’s always nice to choose a gift that represents your
marriage, your relationship and your wedding anniversary. Whether it’s
something completely bespoke or a gesture of your love, you don’t have to stick
to tradition when picking the perfect present.
