Wedding Anniversary Year Gifts
The first wedding anniversary is symbolized with paper; so the ideal gift would be something made from paper like books. Likewise, the second wedding anniversary gift should be something from cotton, the third from leather and many more. So if it is in your budget, you could consider gifting recipients of such wedding anniversaries gifts made from the respective metals.
You could add a twist to the traditional list of anniversary gifts by perhaps using the material of the yearly theme to wrap a different gift. Sometimes, though you may want to follow the traditional gift themes when gifting presents to your spouse, you may not be able to use the themed material. Like for example, ivory is the traditional gift for the fourteenth anniversary. There is no limit to the ideas available for wedding anniversary gift. You can find lots of ideas for wedding anniversary gifts through the Internet or gift magazines. The Internet has many sites selling wedding anniversary gifts, and also many sites having articles giving you ideas for the perfect anniversary gift.
Wedding Anniversary Gifts by Mail
Have you ever wondered how the tradition of giving wedding anniversary gifts began? Around 1875, wood seems to have come into vogue as a 5th wedding anniversary gift.
Wedding anniversary gifts by mail were undoubtedly rare in those days. Here are the first seven anniversary gifts I found.
7 Ideas for Wedding Anniversary Gifts by Mail
1. Paper: I began with the 1st wedding anniversary gift, wondering what ideas would fit the traditional “paper” gift idea. Ticket wedding anniversary gifts are easily found at Ticketmaster.
2. Cotton: For the 2nd wedding anniversary gift, cotton shirts or cotton sheets would be good choices.
3. Glass: One choice for the 3rd wedding anniversary gift was glass, and I found unique, beautiful glass butterfly pendants at Solstice Glass! A wife can shop at Solstice glass, too, and make her husband’s third wedding anniversary gift a hand-blown, one-of-a-kind glass marble.
4. Fruit, Flowers, and Silk: The traditional wedding anniversary gift for the 4th anniversary is listed as fruit and flowers. Since pomegranates are often called the fruit of love, and these trees are filled with the beautiful red fruit, he might order this wedding anniversary gift by mail. Hawaii Tropicals is one of many places online that will ship this wedding anniversary gift by mail.
5. Wood: Wood Cutting Boards is a good website to visit for 5th wedding anniversary gifts by mail.
6. Iron: Although sugar is also a traditional 6th wedding anniversary gift, you might want to think in terms of durable gifts rather than consumables. At Golf Smith, you can order this wedding anniversary gift to be sent by mail.
7. Wool: Even if your wedding anniversary gift celebrates a summer wedding, you know that either one of you would enjoy a gift of wool from the New Zealand Nature Company. (By Anna Hart)
