Anniversary

Anniversary

Anniversary celebrations date back to the medieval times when a husband would present his wife a silver wreath for 25 years of marriage and a gold wreath for 50 years of marriage. These anniversaries are still present today but now with a long list to accompany them. These are typical of paper, wood and flowers just to name a few.

Personalised Anniversary Gifts

These days we all like to receive gifts that are more personal to the individual. Typical gifts that include photos or personal messages like a Photo Engraved Pendant are always received well by the recipient. In fact, Silver gifts can be anything from jewellery to simple engraved key rings. 

Anniversary gifts by year

Below is a list of the first 9 years of traditional gifts, 

• 1ST YEAR: Paper.

Year 1 and 2 are fairly straight forward. Year 3 can be a bit tricky, It's easy to purchase leather bags, shoes and belts but none of these represents a wedding anniversary.  Personalised leather anniversary gifts would be perfect, sentimental and practical. 

There are so many ideas for personalised Anniversary gifts. One of our favourite years is the 5th wedding anniversary which is wood. Professionally engraved wood products can be one of the best Anniversary presents to receive. Thousands of wood products can be personalised to your anniversary. A personalised wood photo frame with a wedding photo is unique.
