ANNIVERSARY GIFTS TO CELEBRATE 1, 5, AND 10 YEARS OF MARRIAGE (OR DATING!)

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes…

Well, that’s for the newlyweds to decide! But one thing is for certain, and that is: the anniversary of your special day! If you are the ‘celebrating’ kind (I know I am!), the odds are high that you and your significant other enjoy celebrating your wedding anniversary each year. With my partner company, the fabulous Weddingstar, you can make those anniversaries that much more noteworthy, with gifts that say, ‘I appreciate you and our life together, more with each passing year’.

Though you may celebrate in a unique or traditional way every year (visiting your favourite restaurant, going on a trip to somewhere new, dancing in the kitchen to your wedding song…), we have a collection of gift ideas to share for those first few milestone years; 1, 5, and 10. Sometimes the best way to say ‘I love you’, is with the perfect token of your affection – especially if one of your spouse’s love languages is ‘gift giving’.

We’d also like to add that many of these gifts make fantastic gifts in a longterm relationship, as well. You don’t have to be married to enjoy your relationship with that special person, so celebrate your love however you like!

Weddingstar is a family-founded company, that has been headlining the wedding gift industry for over 30 years. Based in Alberta, Canada, they carry all of the classic and traditional products you’ve come to know and love for weddings, showers, birthdays, and all of the special occasions life has to offer. With intuitive customization options, fast ship times (free over $125 in North America!), and the lowest prices on the market, they make your busy lifestyle more beautiful, and with more bang for your buck.

I am delighted to create decorating, hosting, and celebratory blog posts for them each month, and even more so to share them with you!

Without further ado, let’s get shopping! Get that ‘add to cart’ button ready…!

FOR HER

Show her you still care, and always will, with these personal and thoughtful gift ideas.

1 YEAR

Personalized Embroidered Silky & Lace Trim Bridal Wedding Robe – White

Your marriage still feels fresh and new for your first wedding anniversary, so why not lean into a few traditionally bridal pieces for her, like a white satin and lace robe embroidered with her name? Or perhaps your nickname for her, or a title such as ‘gorgeous’, or ‘wifey’.

Weddingstar has several to choose from, like the two featured here. With or without lace is up to her preference!

These ring boxes come in an unusual hexagon shape, with so many designs and colours you may want more than one…!
