Decades of Marriage:
Finding the Perfect Anniversary Gift Part 3 (Year 21 - Year 30)
Wow! You’ve been together for 20 years and now it’s time to move into the next decade of your marriage. Love and laughter, tears and heartache, ups and downs, trials and tribulations. You’ve experienced so much in your relationship and it is stronger and better than ever. Time to celebrate!
21st Anniversary: Fire (Theme-Modern)
Keep those home fires burning. Our Match Cloches and Match Strike collection should do the trick. You can use them to light a candle, log fire, or outdoor fire pit. Take your pick to create a romantic setting that will surly be memorable!
22nd Anniversary: Copper (Traditional)
Copper with its beauty, strength and malleability exemplifies what it takes to make a marriage work. Together, our Copper Candle Snuffer, and Copper Match Strike and Holder by Floral Society are a beautiful and practical way to say “Let’s keep this fire burning!”
23rd Anniversary: Silver (Traditional-Color)
Going off road on this one! Having been a book lover for my entire life, adding a stack of books from our curated Book Collections to the room in your house where you and your spouse relax and unwind might be just the thing. Choose from several that are engraved with silver writing on the spine in keeping with this year’s anniversary theme. Our Eucalyptus and Moss Book Topper makes an excellent gift addition!
24th Anniversary: Stone (Modern-Theme)
Written in stone. Solid as a rock. Stone symbolizes wisdom, strength and stability over time. Isn’t that a perfect definition of your marriage? Celebrate this milestone (no pun intended) with an entire new set of dishware. Our Pion Collection of dishes and serving ware are just the thing.
25th Anniversary: Silver (Traditional)
Silver bells! Songs, traditions and religious import have been created around the sound of bells for centuries. Peace, tranquility and good luck are the benefits of hearing these sounds. Who couldn’t use a little of that? Our Silver Bell Ornaments are a lovely way to bring those good vibes into your home and marriage! These bells can be used as lamp pulls, door chimes or around the house whimsy!
26th Anniversary: Green (Modern-Color)
Green. The color said to attract good luck and friendship. What better way to celebrate 26 years then by being with your best friend. Our Forrest Green Lacquered Wooden Mushroom trio will show your playful side and be a reminder of all the sharing and caring!
27th Anniversary: Sculptures (Traditional)
Creating your life together has been a work in progress these many years. What you have formed together is nothing short of a masterpiece! Celebrate your work of art with the gift of our Oval Cutting Boards with Glass Cloches. Both large and medium boards are from Sobremesa by Greenheart. All of their products are fair trade and handcrafted to sustain both the artist and the environment.
28th Anniversary: Linens (Modern-Theme)
Linens are fabric household goods made for daily use according to Google’s English Dictionary. The woven threads symbolize the many ways in which you and your spouse have interacted together over the years, creating a lasting tapestry of love. Express that love with a gift from our Pillows and Throws collection!
29th Anniversary: Tools ( Modern-Theme)
I started wondering what was with this “theme” idea for anniversaries after the 15th. So I googled it. Turns out that beyond the 15th wedding anniversary in Victorian times, when this list of anniversary gifts first came into play, they just didn’t include the rest except for major milestones like the 25th, 30th and so on. Oh well, more gift giving ideas for us to consider! As far as tools go, pick something your spouse loves to do and give them the tools to do it. I’m going with floral arranging here as who doesn’t love flowers. Our Floral Society collection has numerous flower frog and vase combinations that will surely do the trick!
30th Anniversary: Color (Traditional-Green)
This is a big one. Long lasting, solid, and strong. This is how many would describe your marriage. Rebirth, renewal, and immortality are all spiritual meanings surrounding the color green. Capture these thoughts and feelings with our Antique Green Cellar Bottle Collection. These bottles come in both large and small sizes and can hold anything from florals to pennies!
Well that’s it folks. 30 years of happily ever after! Chuck and I are on our 37th year. He says that pretty soon we’ll be the only ones left on that dance floor, but I’d like to think that there are plenty of us out there who want that big hunk of gold on the 50th! Truthfully, I’ll settle for good health and happiness with at least monthly sightings of my kids and grand kids!
Now go out and…
