The Tradition of Luxury 49th Anniversary Gifts

When the original gift lists were created during the 1920s, it is hardly surprising that the 49th anniversary was omitted, together with all of the other marital years which were not recogised milestones. It was not until many years later that the importance of celebrating every year was realised and a new list was created matching a theme, material or symbol with all of the years that had been missed from the original listings. 49 years of marriage was given a rather special theme as it is so close to the golden wedding, the theme of luxury goods. Rewarding the pair for their long and successful union, there is a wide scope of 49 year anniversary gifts which can be encompassed by this theme. This ensures that you will be able to choose something that perfectly fits the recipients’ tastes and which will set them up for the important year to come on the milestone of the golden wedding.
