7th Wedding Anniversary

For the seventh anniversary, traditional materials are copper and wool. These also apply to the modern materials along with brass.

With copper and brass, ideas might include home decorations such as sculptures, furniture, or appliances.

For wool, this might be a decorative rug or perhaps a wool blanket to cuddle under together when watching a movie. Or you could give clothing such as a warm shawl for her, a sweater for him, or genuine Australian ugg boots for both.

For a travel gift, visit places where wool is produced such as New Zealand or South America.

If you would like to give jewelry but are unable to find suitable copper and brass pieces, you may decide to instead go for a similar color using gemstones. Although these are not traditional materials for the 7th anniversary, we feel that keeping the coloring of copper is still creative and stays on theme. This will give you a greater variety of jewelry to choose from to suit your wife's tastes. Gemstone examples with similar coloring to copper and brass might be citrine, amber, smoky quartz, and tiger eye.

From our Visitors

We bought a large and very warm wool-blend blanket to cuddle under during our cold winters here while watching movies on the couch together. -- Declun and Jennifer

My husband is most definitely a romantic, so trying to out "ahhh" him can be quite a challenge.  So I started researching for our seven year anniversary six months in advance.  I was very delighted to discover that wool was a choice.  Since I've been knitting for over 35 years, my first thought was "wool sweater."  Then I carried that theme a step further and created a fisherman knit pattern utilizing x's and o'x and a pattern called "marriage lines", which is essentially a zig-zag pattern to represent the ups and downs of marriage.  I threw in a couple of cable patterns for good measure and set to work.  I tried to work on it before work and at lunch, but realized I'd never get it done in time, so I had to work on it at home.  My husband is also very observant.  He always knows what project I'm working on, so I told him he could see what I was working on, but he'd have to forget what it was until it was done.  I must say, the sweater turned out beautifully, but the best part was the look on his face when he put it on for the first time.  He wore it to work and proudly told all his co-workers that I had made this especially for him to show him how much I love him.  Now I have to come up with another "ah" for eight years and I think I raised the bar too high! -- Becky
