About anniversary gifts
Each wedding anniversary has a theme to inspire a gift, a long-standing custom that runs from paper for the first year up to platinum at seventy. Both the traditional list and a more modern alternative are shown.
Lists differ a little between countries and sources, so treat these as a popular guide rather than a rule. Years without a widely agreed theme aren’t listed. Everything is looked up in your browser.
What this does
An anniversary gift finder looks up the traditional and modern gift theme for any wedding anniversary year, from paper at one year to platinum at seventy.
How to use it
- Enter the anniversary year.
- Read the traditional gift theme.
- See the modern alternative.
- Use it to inspire a gift.
How it works
The year is matched against the long-standing anniversary gift lists. Both the traditional theme and a more modern alternative are shown, since lists differ between countries and sources.
Understanding your result
Both a traditional and a modern theme are shown because the lists differ by country and source, so there is no single correct answer, only a well-known starting point. Use the theme as inspiration for something the recipient will actually like rather than a rule to follow literally, since the thought matters more than the material.
Example
Year 1 is paper (traditional) or clocks (modern); year 25 is silver.
