Year-by-year anniversary gift guide
1st wedding anniversary: Paper
Perk up bare walls with simple yet stylish cut-out paper wall art. Choose from black chevrons, silver
triangles or gold diamonds - or splurge and get all three for an eye-catching grouping. Modern Cut
Out Paper Wall Art, West Elm, $103 - $303.

2. 2nd wedding anniversary: Cotton
White cotton pillowcases emblazoned with the words "hug" and "kiss" make for a subtly sentimental
way to acknowledge a second wedding anniversary. Hug/Kiss Pillow Cases, Crate & Barrel, $40.

3. 3rd wedding anniversary: Leather
Instagram-happy couples can display their favourite snaps in a handmade leather photo album with
square slots perfect for Instagram prints. The made-to-order albums can accommodate 48 images.
Leather Photo Album, LinenLaidFelt on Etsy, $80.

4. 4th wedding anniversary: Fruit/Flowers
A beautiful bouquet would work nicely for a fourth wedding anniversary, but we also love the idea of
something with a little more staying power. An elegant glass serving bowl hand-etched with a
beautiful floral motif is a classic keepsake that's both decorative and functional. Veranda Floral
Hand-Etched Glass Serve Bowl, Pottery Barn, $113.

5. 5th wedding anniversary: Wood
When is a bowl not just a bowl? When it's also capable of being a standalone statement piece.
Whether you fill this hand-carved wooden bowl with seasonal fruit or leave it as is, it will be an eye-
catching addition to any counter or coffee table. Hand-Carved Kiri Wood Bowl, Restoration
Hardware, $89.

6. 6th wedding anniversary: Candy/Iron
For the couple that has everything, or the partner with unique taste, a delicate iron wall hanging
bent and welded into the shape of a buck's head won't fail to get noticed no matter what wall it's
mounted on. Rudy Wall Hanging, CB2, $55.

7. 7th wedding anniversary: Wool/Copper
A stylish copper-plated pitcher can be used for both decorative and practical purposes. Keep it
topped with water for dinner guests or simply leave it out to brighten up a neutral space. Legend
Pitcher, Crate & Barrel, $70.

8. 8th wedding anniversary: Pottery/Bronze
Terrariums have become a popular fixture on coffee tables for a good reason. They're an easy way to
add a pop of green to any room in a manner that's both whimsical and low-maintenance. A bronze-
rimmed terrarium filled with delicate tropical plants is an ideal anniversary gift for green thumbs
and plant-lovers alike. Bronze-Rimmed Terrarium, Pottery Barn, $65.

9. 9th wedding anniversary: Willow/Pottery
Sometimes the simplest pieces become the most treasured and these handcrafted pottery mugs
exude a timeless simplicity that will never go out of style. The set of two sturdy porcelain mugs
comes in a white or grey matte finish. Wheeler Pottery Tall Mug (set of two), Restoration Hardware,
$50.

10. 10th wedding anniversary: Tin/Aluminum
Cast-aluminum photo frames filled with treasured moments from a marriage offer a romantic way to
celebrate an important milestone. These ornate, decorative frames come in three sizes that would
look great grouped together on a mantel. Cast-Aluminum Photo Frames, Horchow, $65-$90.

11. 15th wedding anniversary: Crystal
A crystal vase filled with a beautiful floral arrangement or better yet, flowers from the wedding
bouquet, is not only a reminder of 15 years of a marriage, but it also makes for an elegant addition
to any room. Monique Lhuillier My Favorite Things Opulence 4.75in Posy Vase, Waterford, $85.

12. 20th wedding anniversary: China
A fine bone china tea set in a pretty pattern makes tea time that much more enjoyable. The vintage-
inspired polka dot pattern is made to be on display rather than being kept behind closed cupboard
doors. The set includes a teapot, covered sugar bowl and a creamer. Polka Rose 3-Piece Tea Set,
Royal Albert, $191.

13. 25th wedding anniversary: Silver
Elegant silver-plated candlesticks can easily elevate an entryway or dining table. They make a
thoughtful and timeless gift for any couple celebrating a 25th wedding anniversary. Choose from a
pillar hurricane, taper holder and pillar/taper holder. Eclectic Silver-Plated Candles, Pottery Barn,
$47-$114.

14. 30th wedding anniversary: Pearl
Couples needing to update their flatware can treat themselves to a set handcrafted of brass and
stainless steel with mother-of-pearl insets. The stylish service includes four dinner forks, four
dessert forks, four butter knifes, four teaspoons, and four dinner spoons. 20-Piece Mother-of-Pearl
Striped Flatware Service, Horchow, $190.

15. 40th wedding anniversary: Ruby
In lieu of jewelry featuring rubies, ruby red household and decor accessories also work for a 40th
wedding anniversary gift. We're partial to these celebratory flutes in a rich shade of red. Marquis by
Waterford Vintage Red Flute, Waterford, $65.

16. 50th wedding anniversary: Gold
A statement piece is the perfect thing to splurge on for a 50th wedding anniversary. Any wall will
instantly pop with the addition of a print featuring two birds done in gold leaf. Gold is the traditional
gift for a 50th anniversary and the two birds connote intimacy and togetherness. Gold Leaf Bird Wall
Art, Pottery Barn, $498.
