Seventh Wedding Anniversary Gifts and Ideas
Gift Suggestions for the Traditional Wool and Copper Anniversary
Jul 9, 2009
Following the traditional list of anniversary gifts is a fun and often memorable way to celebrate some of the “in-between” anniversary years, and can be as simple or as extravagant as the couple wishes. The traditional list marks the seventh anniversary as the year to give gifts made of wool or copper.
Seventh Anniversary Gifts for Men
The obvious choice for the wool anniversary is to purchase woollen clothing or accessories. Sweaters, scarves or knitted caps are excellent gifts, particularly if the anniversary date falls in the colder months. A fine wool tie may be suitable for warmer weather anniversaries. Other wool gifts for men could be sheepskin car seat covers or sheepskin boots.
Small personal items made from copper such as key rings, jewellery or business card holders make lovely seventh anniversary mementos. On a larger budget, a keen home chef may enjoy receiving a set of copper cookware.
Seventh Anniversary Gifts for Women
Again clothing is an obvious choice for the wool anniversary. As always, care should be taken to consider tastes and colour preferences when purchasing clothing for a woman, and a quick check of sizing never goes astray.
Copper jewellery is inexpensive and is often handcrafted, giving the pieces a personal touch. Again, considering the recipient’s personal style is always a must when purchasing jewellery.
Copper wind chimes are pretty and inexpensive, or a lovely personal gift for a wife is a copper photo frame with a wedding or favourite family snapshot.
Fun Wool and Copper Anniversary Gifts
A bottle of Coppertone sunscreen is a cute nod to the traditional list, especially when combined with a holiday in the sun, or just a simple day spent outdoors together at a special place.
Similarly a new wool picnic blanket becomes a personal and fun gift when combined with a packed picnic basket for two.
Or spouses intent on giving some kind of electrical gadget as a gift could always point to the copper used in the wiring as satisfying the traditional criteria.
Homemade or Inexpensive Seventh Anniversary Gifts
With many people preferring to save the more expensive gifts for the “milestone” anniversaries, marking the smaller occasions with token gifts is a nice way to celebrate. A “good-luck” penny can be glued to a card with a simple verse, particularly if it was minted in the year of the wedding. Hand-knitted scarves are more personal than store-bought and less expensive acrylic or synthetic yarn can be used, or simply fill a copper pot with some favourite sweet treats.
If finding the perfect copper or wool gift still proves too difficult, the modern anniversary list marks the seventh anniversary as desk sets.
