Anniversary present. What should I get?
Traditional anniversary gifts for weddings are chosen from a list of
materials that are designated for each year. The first wedding
anniversary is symbolized with paper, and from there traditional
anniversary gifts become more precious or scarce to reflect the growing
number of years a couple has remained together.
It isn't clear when the traditional gift list came into existence. It
probably evolved over time. Calling years twenty-five and fifty
'Silver' and 'Gold' may have originated in medieval Europe, where wives
were given a silver wreath to celebrate their twenty-fifth year of
marriage and a gold wreath for their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Diamonds are traditional anniversary gifts in both the sixtieth and
seventh-fifth years. Year sixty was probably added when Queen Victoria
celebrated her Diamond Jubilee after sixty years on the British throne.
The traditional list may seem somewhat boring for the early years, but it doesn't have to be if you get creative. Especially if you give a gift of one of my pens...
A pen made of wood, what a perfect gift. You won't find another like it
anywhere. Consider an "heirloom pen". If you can provide a piece of
wood from the childhood home, or the family farm, or the backyard,
there is a bond between the gift and that time of the intended's life.5th Wedding Anniversary
