Marking seven years of marriage it’s important to buy the right gift. Many people make the mistake in buying regular gifts but don’t realise there are themes, gemstones and flowers that can help with the buying of the 7th year wedding anniversary of their big day. The traditional theme of the 7th wedding anniversary is wool or copper.
This means you can instantly think of possible items made from either material to buy your loved one and make it a special day. In the UK, copper is the traditional theme for a 7th year wedding anniversary gift. It’s strong, durable as well as bright and vibrant. It’s perfect for gift, ornaments, sculptures and many more.
It shows that your love after seven years is strong, durable as well as vibrant too, and will last for a very long time. Copper is also very valuable and is one of the metals that is often forgotten about but in reality it looks amazing in the home and can really spice up your living room or garden.
As wool is also a traditional gift for the 7th year anniversary of your wedding, it can bring a myriad of choices for a gift. There are many specialist items to choose from and all are warm, cosy and perfect for snuggling up on the sofa with.
If you prefer to buy more modern theme gifts for the 7th year wedding anniversary, then a desk-set is seen as the item to buy. This could include anything that you’d find in an office and is not only a thoughtful gift but a very practical one too. It will be with your partner when they are at work and will be a constant reminder of you and your love for each other..
The flowers that are associated with the 7th wedding anniversary are “Jack-in-the-Pulpit“, which is a pretty herb that is found all over the US and in Canada also. It can either be all green or green with purple stripes and is very pretty. It’s used in herbal medicine and can help with skin problems and can be used as an ointment.
If you want to buy a 7th wedding anniversary gift of the gemstone that is associated with the year, then buy something made of onyx or Lapis Lazuli. Both are stunning and equally different. The Lapis Lazuli is a dark, deep and rich looking stone that is perfect for jewellery or as an ornament, while onyx is generally used to make stunning kitchen counter tops, flooring that is similar to marble or for jewels and sculptures.
