WOOL, COPPER, BRASS
- 7th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas
(or Table Sets & Onyx Gemstone)
Gifts of
wool dominate most traditional
7th wedding anniversary gift ideas, which is fair enough. The warmth and coziness of a wool pullover (a popular seven year anniversary gift) is symbolic of the cozy warmth of a happy marriage.
In earlier times, people didn’t live near a humungous shopping mall that sold woollen clothing. Everything had to be hand-made, so most women could knit up a storm. Who hasn’t got a mother or grandmother who knitted everything from mittens to a bed-spread. My own mother used to doze happily on the sofa while her hands kept knitting. We still don’t know how she did it. Go back further and you could conjure a picture of women chasing sheep around a paddock with knitting needles brandished. I am kidding. Sorry Mum.
Wool while traditional, isn’t the only theme for 7th wedding anniversary gifts. During the industrial age, gifts of
copper and
brass became popular as well. You could just imagine a factory worker bringing home, copper and brass to make his wife a lovely still, so she could make her own moonshine whiskey. The good ol’ days!
Today, any 7th anniversary gift ideas a couple could imagine can be found in any shopping mall or on the internet. Internet shopping grows every year and has enabled the most time-poor, over-worked 21st century married guy, the possibility of finding that perfect seventh anniversary gift or present with the click of a few keystrokes. Sweet! Happy seventh anniversary!
