Opting for a Traditional 12th Wedding Anniversary Gift
Traditional anniversary gifts are always popular, probably because they have a symbolic meaning which truly signifies more than a simple generic gift. As well as being very appealing, a gift fashioned from a traditional material speaks volumes about the effort put into sourcing something so special and also reminds the couple of an important facet of their marriage, symbolised by the nature of the material. The traditional 12th anniversary gift is made from silk or linen and this represents plenty of wonderful gift ideas for creative gift givers. The meaning behind these gifts is subtle but relevant. Linen was often referred to in the Bible as being a reflection of purity, worn by the highest heavenly bodies and represents the pure nature of a loving marriage. Silk, on the other hand, has luxurious appeal and reminds the couple of the sensuality of their union. As the fibres of the silk fabric are tightly interwoven, so the strands of the happy couple’s life are joined inextricably together after 12 joyful years together. Why not give a gift of beautiful quality bedlinen, an ideal reflection of the traditional theme of this marital year? Or a pretty embroidered linen tablecloth to grace the dining table of the marital home which will see plenty of use over the years, bringing you to mind again and again? Silk is a wonderful choice for garments for both men and women – a luxurious silk blouse is a lovely 12 year anniversary gift for her while a silk tie is an ideal 12th anniversary gift for him. For a couple who love beautiful home décor, a pair of silk pillows or cushions would be a suitable present, or why not consider giving a pair of matching silk bathrobes, perhaps monogrammed with their initials for an added personal touch?

Contemporary Choices of 12th Anniversary Gift

Pearls have been suggested as a modern alternative to the traditional 12th anniversary gifts and they too have a special hidden meaning that is relevant to any married pair. Pearls indicate wisdom and after being married for a dozen years, a couple have developed the wisdom to know how best to make their union work and know when to speak and when to be silent. Choose beautiful pearl jewellery as the perfect 12 year anniversary gift for her, from necklaces and earrings to a bracelet or a ring. For him, a mother of pearl pair of cufflinks would be a lovely way to mark the day in a symbolic fashion.
