One of the perks of buying a gift for an anniversary is that there are already themes that you can align your gift buying with. 

• 1st = Paper 
• 2nd = Cotton 
• 3rd = Leather 
• 4th = Linen 
• 5th = Wooden 
• 6th = Iron 
• 7th = Wool 
• 8th = Bronze 
• 9th = Pottery 
• 10th = Tin 
• 11th = Steel 
• 12th = Silk 
• 13th = Lace 
• 14th = Ivory 
• 15th = Crystal 
• 20th = China 
• 25th = Silver 
• 30th = Pearl 
• 35th = Coral 
• 40th = Ruby 
• 45th = Sapphire 
• 50th = Gold 
• 55th = Emerald 
• 60th = Diamond 

I’ve chosen some of the themes above to discuss. 

Paper 

This symbolises the first year of your marriage. Paper might not scream luxury, however if she is a stationary lover then sticking with the paper theme will go very far. How about getting her a luxury writing set, or a gorgeous decorative journal? You could even encourage her to document the next year of marriage (highs and the lows) in said journal. 

Wool 

If you got married in autumn, winter, or even spring, and you’re celebrating your 7th year of marriage, how about buying her a beautiful woollen jumper? You could choose something such as a 100% lamb’s wool cardigan, or a stunningly soft cashmere jumper. Not only will it be a practical piece for the colder seasons, but it will also fit in perfectly with the anniversary theme. 

Pottery 

I’m not sure if you are aware, but the boho/ natural trend isn’t leaving us any time soon. So, how about leaning into the trend and looking into getting some gorgeous high-end or homemade ceramics for the table. You could get a lovely set of mugs made out of pottery, or perhaps a nice set of plates or bowls. This is a great luxury option if your wife is keen on this earthy trend, or if she simply likes her tableware to be on trend. Not to mention if you’ve been married for nine years – pottery can certainly be a beautiful luxury anniversary gift for her. 

Silk 

Now silk definitely screams luxury, anything silk in fact screams luxury – so you really can’t go wrong with a silk-related gift. The obvious choice is to go for an item of clothing: a silky dress, a lingerie set, or a silk scarf. Another option would be to get some silk pillowcases; not only are they lovely to sleep on, they have so many other benefits: skincare and haircare related benefits! 

Gemstone Years 

Once you hit your 30th Wedding Anniversary you enter the gemstone years: pearl, coral, ruby, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. So naturally these years really do call for the gift of gemstone jewellery. A piece of gemstone jewellery is truly a luxury anniversary gift for that special someone in your life. Some options: a diamond tennis bracelet, a pair of sapphire stud earrings, a ruby drop pendant, a pearl choker, or an antique emerald ring. If you have a piece of gemstone heirloom jewellery, perhaps now is the time to gift it to your one true love. If you don’t own a piece of heirloom jewellery, then you could even make a trip of it and let her choose what she wants, you can’t go wrong with a pick-your-own gift! 

So there we have it, a guide and a small selection of luxury anniversary gifts for her. I hope this has helped inspire you. Let us know in the comments below if you have any stand-out anniversary gifts you’ve bought in the past; we would love to know!

Amazing Art and Poster Prints from Ink and Drop

It is no secret that we have very recently done a whole lot of decorating to our home whilst we have been and continue to work from home.  Some of the major changes are finally getting our artwork, which is quite eclectic in taste onto the walls and in positions we are happy with.  So when Ink and Drop got in touch to ask whether we would like to feature some of their artwork, the only problem we had was deciding which product we liked the best.

Ink & Drop is a small, family business, born from a passion for all things interior, and in particular, unique, cool art prints as they put it and from their catalogue of products there is a whole host of pictures to choose from.  We have a thing for skulls, skeletons and rather more gothic type art work, some of which has appeared in previous posts as well as being on my Instagram and we finally settled on the Neon Skeleton Vintage Diagram Canvas, one that we could both agree on wanting.

The canvas comes delivered in a tube ready for you to hang.  It is printed on a really thick cotton canvas artwork and because it comes supplied complete with solid wooden, magnetic hanging strips, there is no need to go and purchase a frame to hang your product, instead you have something which takes just a few minutes to put together and then you are ready to hang it on your wall. You could if you really wanted to buy a frame, but we like how the print looks on the wall as it is.

If you decide that there isn't a print you can agree on or you are feeling a little more creative, Ink & Drop do give you the option to create your own personalised print and some use Neon which makes it quite an attractive offer - I have about three different creations currently sitting in my basket!  Prices for this start at just £18.50 and rise upwards depending on your choice of art.

Prices for these canvas prints start at £13 rising upwards to £60 for the largest size and they are so well priced it is hard not to fill my basket with more prints.  For reference, the ones we couldn't decide between are shown below as a collage.
