Anniversary gifts by year

on May 22, 2024

If you and your husband or wife like to celebrate wedding anniversaries then it is really fun to follow along with the traditional anniversary gifts. Whether to stick to the exact material or offer a tenuous link, here are some ideas for you to try…

1st Anniversary: Paper

Look no further! Georgie’s commissions are all created on paper as she is a colour pencil artist. Spoil your partner with a bespoke piece of artwork for your 1st paper wedding anniversary.

2nd Anniversary: Cotton

You’ve been married for two years, maybe you’ve moved house, renovated or built a new life somewhere. Georgie’s cushion covers are made of cotton so the perfect anniversary gift that you can both enjoy. Alternatively, these tea towels are made from 100% cotton too, perfect for the kitchen.

3rd Anniversary: Leather

Ooh okay, a bit of a tenuous link here but did you know Georgie can draw realistic drawings of leather and other objects as well as animals? Failing that, a saddle or bridle for a horse lover would do…

8th Anniversary: Pottery or Bronze

8 years strong! Maybe you’ve welcomed a new arrival into your home by now with a tendency to break a few things, so it’s probably time to refresh your mug cupboard?

12th Anniversary: Silk or Linen

Georgie’s tote bags are made from heavyweight linen and are the perfect unique gift for a linen anniversary
