First 5 Anniversaries Covered

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

June means wedding season. Weddings means anniversaries! Anniversaries means frantic men looking for an anniversary present for the wife. Those most likely to be panicked are the young, recently married, because romantic expectations are very high in those early days! You can be the answer to their prayers with this cheat sheet for the first five anniversaries.

1st Anniversary

Traditionally paper
Think personalised albums, Smytheson stationery, keepsake boxes (in card), framed wedding vows or a poem about her.

Suitable first anniversary gifts in our selection:

2nd Anniversary

Traditionally cotton
Cotton lingerie is the obvious choice for a husband to give his wife. Household cotton items like bedding and napkins shouldn’t under any circumstance be given by a husband to his wife, unless he wants a divorce!

Suitable 2nd anniversary presents in our selection:

Here we can offer products made using canvas (canvas is made from cotton) and cotton paper.

3rd Anniversary

Traditionally leather
Leather offers masses of choice – from shoes to handbags, jewellery to jewellery rolls, journals to photo albums, purses to i-pod holders or folding photo frames. Fetish wear probably best avoided.

Suitable leather 3rd anniversary presents in pressies’ gift range:

4th Anniversary

Traditionally flowers or fruit
So the easy option is to nip down to the florists and buy a dozen reds roses, but that’s hardly original. A fruit basket might leave her wondering why you thought she was ill! Go for flower inspired gifts instead – flower shapes, prints and patterns.

Suitable flowery and fruity 4th anniversary presents in our gift range:

5th Anniversary

Traditionally wooden/ wood
Plant/ dedicate a tree, give wooden memory or trinket boxes or wood fragranced gifts like candles or perfume (look out for pine, cedarwood or sandalwood in the ingredients) or there’s even wooden jewellery.

Suitable 5th anniversary presents in our gift range:

OK, so it’s cheating but you can take your pick of our Claire Wood handmade jewellery. Here’s some best-sellers
