Anniversary gifting has a centuries-old tradition of assigning materials to each year. Here is both the traditional framework and our modern interpretation.
1st anniversary — Paper
Traditional: paper.\nModern: a personalised print of a meaningful location, a first-year photo book, a beautiful journal, or a choice gift card presented in a beautifully designed card.
5th anniversary — Wood
Traditional: wood.\nModern: a carved wooden keepsake, premium wooden homeware, a handcrafted wooden jewellery box, or a curated hamper presented in a wooden crate.
10th anniversary — Tin or Aluminium
Traditional: tin.\nModern: a significant experience gift — a trip, a stay, an event. The 10th anniversary warrants a meaningful experience rather than an object.
25th anniversary — Silver
Traditional: silver.\nModern: fine silver jewellery, a premium silver-lidded hamper, or a significant shared experience.
50th anniversary — Gold
Traditional: gold.\nModern: fine gold jewellery, a significant family experience, a premium luxury hamper, or a contribution toward something extraordinary.
