You can go together to a pottery workshop and make a few mugs or bowls - perhaps as a part of a weekend trip to Maříž. Or purchase a willow picnic basket and celebrate outside with your family and friends.

Modern gift for your ninth anniversary - leather

Modern gifts for the ninth wedding anniversary are made from leather. Products from real, natural leather are high-quality, elegant, and long-lasting. You can tell something is real leather by the high price and specific smell. It’s ok to pick a product from fake leather- the price is lower but so is the lifespan. There’s also something called synthetic leather (sometimes called eco leather) but it has absolutely nothing to do with real leather. What sets it apart from both real and fake leather is its production and properties. But just as fake leather, synthetic leather can start cracking or peeling after a while. If you’re looking for a product that’s going to last you a long time, invest in quality natural leather and pick a quality home décor or perhaps a travel bag for your joint adventures.

Flowers for your ninth anniversary - field poppy, strelitzia

You can find the breath-taking field poppy mostly in the fields, by country roads, and similar places. Apart from the famous red poppies there are also white, pink, or burgundy ones. Sadly, fresh-cut poppies tend to wilt quickly and so it’s quite likely you’ll have to pick them yourself to celebrate your wedding anniversary.

Original jewellery for your ninth anniversary - lapis lazuli

Lapis lazuli, a gemstone boasting a majestic blue shade, is sourced primarily from the Afghan province of Badakhshan. It was highly prized by ancient civilisations, its colour playing a major part in determining each stone’s quality. Pick an anniversary gift that contains lapis lazuli - jewellery, game board, decorative bowls, or even amulets. Thanks to its versatility, this traditional yet beautiful stone is quite easy to incorporate in personal and domestic accessories.

10TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY - TIN, ALUMINIUM WEDDING

Traditional gift for your tenth anniversary - tin/aluminium

The tenth wedding anniversary, often termed the tin wedding, is a celebration of your relationship’s growth and the decade you and your partner spent together. A traditional material, tin symbolises durability and resistance which are key aspects in any thriving marriage. You can gift your beloved decorative objects made from tin, such as candelabra, small statues, photo frames, even jewellery. Not only are these gifts beautiful and unique, but they also serve as a reminder of the strong, long-lasting nature of your relationship. It’s a wonderful way to appreciate the past ten years of shared experiences and commitment.

Modern gift for your tenth anniversary - diamond jewellery

Being the hardest mineral on Earth, diamonds are a perfect symbol of your strong love. Hence why the tenth wedding anniversary is sometimes called a diamond anniversary. Purchase diamond jewellery to celebrate this momentous milestone, such as rings, earrings, necklaces, or watches containing lab or natural diamonds to highlight the uniqueness of your relationship.

Apart from gifting traditional jewellery, you can also celebrate by going on an extraordinary trip to the so-called Diamond Islands - the Thamihla Kyun off the coast of Myanmar, the Diamond Island in the Caribbean Grenadines, or Cod Rock of the coast of Tasmania, a home to a small penguin site connected to the mainland only at low tide. Such a trip could be an unforgettable way to celebrate the ten years of your journey together.

Flowers for your tenth wedding anniversary - narcissus

Jewellery and flowers, such as the narcissus, are gifts which tend to be highly appreciated. A combination of the two is an ideal choice for any anniversary, including the decennial.

The original, personal gift is sure to make an impression and become a beautiful reminder of the years you and your partner have spent together.

Traditional gift for your fifteenth anniversary - crystal

Given for the fifteenth wedding anniversary, crystal symbolises the clarity and lucidity you’ve gained in your relationship after the many years of joint effort. But although crystal is beautiful and pure, it’s also fragile, reminding us even strong relationships require constant care. To celebrate this momentous milestone, decorate your festive table with crystal glassware—cut glasses, elegant decanters, or decorative bowls.

Consider purchasing crystal glasses by reputable manufacturers, such as Waterford Crystal, or Czech glassmakers, e.g. Moser, renowned for extraordinary quality and design.

Modern gift for your fifteenth anniversary - watch

Watches are a beautiful reminder of the time you and your partner spent together, and also symbolise the time you still have.
