Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas: Traditional & Not So Traditional Anniversary Gifts

August 12th, 2009  |  Published in Bacca Shanghai Pearls, Featured Pearl News, Pearl Jewelry  |  1 Comment

My sister was married this past weekend, it was gorgeous - and pictures will soon be on our blog. Just the day before the wedding, my parent’s celebrated their 33rd anniversary. My anniversary is coming up (September 16), and within the next few weeks, Margo (whose wedding we featured on our blog recently) will be celebrating her first anniversary, as will Julya, Bacca’s co-owner.

Needless to say, weddings and anniversaries have been on the mind! In order to keep the boys in our life on top of things (as well as yours), I did a little research on traditional anniversary gifts according to the number of years you have been married. I think this is a sweet and thoughtful way to celebrate such an important occasion!

Bacca Shanghai sells pearls, so we’ve known forever that the traditional 30th wedding anniversary gift is pearls. Tahitians seem to be what we’re selling best for this anniversary at the moment, and I love these pearls because you can really personalize this gift by purchasing a strand of tahitians that will look best on your sweetheart (think silver-blue for a blond; or peacock greens and purples for a brunette). We’ve done a ton of custom orders for this big anniversary, so send your husband our way if you’re in the market!!

However, some of us may not be quite at that 30 year mark. So, if you’re earlier in the game, check out these traditional and non traditional gifts for your 1st - 80th anniversary! Check out the links below to see gift options within each category.
