13th Wedding Anniversary

With lace as the traditional and modern material, an obvious gift for the 13th anniversary is lace lingerie, however use your best judgement on this based on what you know already about your wife's tastes.

Some women have mixed feelings about lingerie. Many love it, but some are ambivalent. And some really hate it. It would be impossible for us to tell you which category your wife fits into so our advice is, if you are unsure, play it safe and get lingerie as the second gift rather than a primary gift. If she loves it and wears it often, then you will know for the future.

Other ideas for lace might be decorative tablecloths, fancy tops, dresses, or curtains. Lacewood is also an elegant gift for the home. Art glass or other home decor with a lace pattern would also work.

For jewelry, either go with a lace design in any material or choose a piece with blue lace agate perhaps.

For gifts to get your husband, skip the lace. You probably already figured that one out though! Move right on over to the alternate material textiles and get him a top or other fabric gift with the logo of his favorite sports team, a funny t-shirt or other textile.

Citrine, Moonstone, and Hawk's eye are the alternate modern jewelry materials for the 13th anniversary.

A note from the editor about real fur: Please do not support the animal poaching industry. Never buy real fur products which are cruelly produced by cheap labor, often in China where regulations are minimal. Animals are sometimes still alive and suffering for a short period of time after skinning. Please only buy products that celebrate the beauty of Earth's creatures...alive! If you like the look of fur, then please go faux fur.
