"... the odour of Burgundy, and the smell of French sauces, and the sight of clean napkins and long loaves, knocked as a very welcome visitor at the door of our inner man."

If You Are Looking for Anniversary Gift Ideas, There Is Much Help in the Traditional Gift List

The 'traditional gift list' is a list of gifts traditionally given each year for wedding anniversaries.

You can begin here for your anniversary gift ideas, and you can even find some of these traditional gifts through our site, like fruit and candy gifts.

After you find out the traditional gift for whatever year needed, you can use that material to be the central focus of your gift.

Here is the traditional list of gifts listed by year:

  • First - Paper
  • Second - Cotton
  • Third - Leather
  • Fourth - Fruit/Flowers
  • Fifth - Wood
  • Sixth - Candy/Iron
  • Seventh - Wool/Copper
  • Eighth - Bronze/Pottery
  • Ninth - Pottery/Willow
  • Tenth - Tin/Aluminum
  • Eleventh - Steel
  • Twelfth - Silk/Linen
  • Thirteenth - Lace
  • Fourteenth - Ivory
  • Fifteenth - Crystal
  • Twentieth - China
  • Twenty-Fifth - Silver
  • Thirtieth - Pearl
  • Thirty-Fifth - Coral
  • Fortieth - Ruby
  • Forty-Fifth - Sapphire
  • Fiftieth - Gold
  • Fifty-fifth - Emerald
  • Sixtieth - Diamond
  • Once you have determined the gift required, the rest should be easy. Maybe the gift is an expensive one such as pearl, or ruby; in that case, you could get something that resembles that material, or simply write a meaning poem comparing their love to the resilient material.

    There is also a contemporary list of anniversary gifts. This list is more modern than the original list. I will give that list so you may compare it to the traditional list above.

  • First - Clocks
  • Second - China
  • Third - Crystal/Glass
  • Fourth - Appliances
  • Fifth - Silverware
  • Sixth - Candy/IronSeventh - Desk Sets
  • Eighth - Bronze/Pottery
  • Ninth - Linen/Lace
  • Tenth - Leather
  • Eleventh - Jewelry

  • Fourteenth - Gold Jewelry
  • Fifteenth - Watches

  • Thirtieth - Diamond
  • Thirty-Fifth - Jade
  • Fortieth - Ruby
