What is the traditional seventh anniversary gift?
Wool is the traditional seventh anniversary gift as it’s said to symbolise the warmth and security you feel in marriage, just like being wrapped in a cosy wool throw. There are many lovely gift options for wool from blankets and throws to slippers and socks. There’s also plenty of variety, with pieces ranging from the classic sheep wool to alpaca fibres.
What is the modern seventh anniversary gift?
Much like many of the modern anniversary gifts, the seventh anniversary gift is desk stationery sets. Although not the romantic reasoning that wool offers, the modern gift is meant to represent the work that goes into making a marriage successful. Despite its slightly less inspiring meaning, this is actually a really good gift idea – especially for stationery fanatics!
