Choosing a gift is a headache for the donor. You need to keep a fine line between necessity and uselessness, as well as choose the best price for your presentation, which would not hit your pocket, but would not make the gift too cheap. Not everyone has enough taste and imagination, indeed, to please with some surprise. But I don't want to give at least something, just not to come empty-handed. But the choice of a present for wedding anniversaries is somewhat simplified by the fact that each date is symbolic and provides for certain gifts.
So on the day of the wedding, which, by the way, is called a green wedding, you can give everything you need in the household in green colors - from dollar bills and malachite shells, and ending with a flower in a pot.
Traditionally, for a cotton wedding (1 year), guests give the textiles they need in everyday life: bed linen, curtains, towels, tablecloths, pillows, napkins. Husband and wife can exchange sets of sexy lingerie, which will come in handy for a variety of intimate life.
For a paper wedding (2 years), you can donate a photo album made with your own hand using the scrapbooking technique, or a quilling picture, draw a cartoon on lovers or order it from an artist.
For a leather wedding (3 years), the range of gifts is extensive. You can look up to the name of the date itself and buy a wallet, a briefcase for documents, a belt, gloves and much more for the newlyweds.
For a linen or wax wedding (4 years old), feel free to give a linen tablecloth or decorative candles.
For a wooden wedding (5 years old), relatives fork out for furniture, and the rest of the guests - for wooden interior items: figurines, boxes, etc.
For a cast-iron wedding (6 years old), appropriate dishes, candlesticks and garden tools are presented.
For a copper or woolen wedding (7 years old), guests are presented with copper dishes, candlesticks, figurines, or woolen blankets and a blanket.
For a tin or poppy wedding (8 years old), relatives help with repairs in the spouses' home, and friends donate trays, baking dishes.
For a faience wedding (9 years old), the choice of a gift is extremely simple: sets, vases and figurines.
For the first serious anniversary - a pink or pewter wedding (10 years old), as many roses as possible are presented. Moreover, it can be both cut flowers and bushes for planting in the garden, as well as paintings with their images of roses or any aesthetic interior items.
Whatever you donate, it is important how you present your present. Don't skimp on beautiful packaging or creative designs. It would be nice to think over an intrigue in advance, a bright surprise, a touching speech, an anecdote to the point or a sparkling poetic wish. It is quite possible that the heroes of the day will remember not so much the donated thing as the originality of its presentation.
