What better way to brighten the lives of the recently married couple and celebrate their first year together with some framed artwork? This anniversary gift idea is perfect, you can choose from Scandi Living’s range of elegant posters that are sure to suit any style. Enhance the artwork with a wooden frame from Scandi Essentials and your gift is complete.

COTTON – THE MOSS BEDSPREAD FROM SCANDI LIVING

The Second wedding anniversary is traditionally celebrated with a gift of cotton and the Moss bedspread from Scandi Living fits the bill. An anniversary gift idea that can be used by both partners equally, made from a blend of cotton and linen with a waffle pattern, the bedspread feels luxurious and adds that little extra hotel feeling to the couple’s bedroom.

LEATHER – HERITAGE WINE COOLER WITH LEATHER HANDLE

The third wedding anniversary is celebrated with the theme of leather. Gift the happy couple this beautiful wine cooler from Culinary Concepts with gorgeously soft leather handles. Go the extra mile with this anniversary gift idea and include a bottle of champagne for the happy couple to enjoy on the evening of their anniversary.

WOOD – THE NIGHT OWL TABLE LAMP FROM FRITZ HANSEN

The theme of the fourth year of marriage is wood. For couples who are real interior design fans, we have the perfect anniversary gift idea for you in the shape of the Night Owl Table lamp from Fritz Hansen. The elegant wooden base with the oval lamp shade gives off a soft glow, perfect for the sideboard or bedside table.

Here you see the Night Owl from Fritz Hansen lit up in the home of German influencer @wohnfluehlen_mit_stil, the perfect anniversary gift idea for couples.

WOOL – A COSY SET OF WOOLEN THROWS

The fifth (or seventh depending on geographical location) anniversary is represented by wool. We have a number of beautifully cosy wool blankets from both Klippan Yllefabrik and Scandi Living. If you are buying for a couple, why not gift one to each half and spare them an argument over who gets to enjoy it on a cold winter evening.

ALUMINIUM – STUMPASTAKEN CANDLE HOLDER

Traditionally the tenth wedding anniversary is celebrated with a gift of tin but a modern variation on this is a gift made from aluminium.

A true Swedish classic the Stumpastaken candle holder was designed by Jonas Torstensson. Designed to allow the owner to burn candle stumps all the way to the end so nothing is wasted, this candle holder has become iconic in Swedish homes. The ideal gift for couples who are fans of Scandinavian design.

CRYSTAL – THE CARAT CANDLE HOLDERS FROM ORREFORS

Swedish glass manufacturer Orrefors have created these beautiful, handmade candle holders in collaboration with designer Lena Bergström. Made from crystal glass we think they work perfectly as a gift for any fifteenth wedding anniversary celebration, adding a touch of elegance to any room.

Top tip: If you are looking for an anniversary gift idea for a diamond wedding anniversary, we think these work perfectly there too!

CHINA – SWEDISH GRACE PORCELAIN FROM RÖRSTRAND

For a twentieth wedding anniversary a gift of China is traditional. The elegant Swedish Grace collection from Rörstrand is simple and timeless, a true Swedish classic. The ideal anniversary gift idea for any couple who already has some Swedish Grace in their cupboards or those who are fans of Scandinavian porcelain.

SILVER – BLOOM SERVING BOWL FROM GEORG JENSEN

Twenty-five years of marriage is cause for a big celebration and so traditionally silver is given as a gift. This highly polished, silver coloured offering from Georg Jensen is perfect. A sophisticated anniversary gift idea for couples who love to host dinner parties or simply a beautifully and elegant piece of art for them to display.

The Bloom serving bowl displaying in a glass fronted cabinet makes the perfect anniversary gift idea for couples who love to display art in their homes.

The Bloom serving bowl is perfect for those couples who love to host dinner parties but looks just as beautiful displayed a piece of art.

PEARL – THE SHELL FLOWER POT FROM FERM LIVING

For the couple who have made it to thirty years the anniversary is celebrated with a gift of pearl.

This anniversary gift idea might require you to think outside the box. We love the multipurpose shell flowerpot from Ferm Living. Ocean themed interior details are perfectly on trend right now, perfect for the couple who love to keep up with the latest interior design trends.

RUBY – PANTOP PORTABLE TABLE LAMP FROM VERPAN

We are taking a little bit artistic licence here because we know that this is not a true ruby red lamp but the Pantop portable table lamp from Verpan is far too pretty for us not to share it with you.

If any couple in your life has made it to their milestone fortieth wedding anniversary, then that is certainly a milestone worth celebrating.

Portable lighting is everywhere in the design world right now, so this lamp makes the perfect anniversary gift idea for any couple worth celebrating.

GOLD – NAGEL CANDLE STICKS FROM STOFF

The final anniversary gift idea for couples who love interior design is the stackable Nagel candle holders from STOFF. Ideal for any fiftieth wedding anniversary celebration with their gold colour these stylish and clever candle holders can be stacked together to create installations that are as big or small as you like. Also available in black and chrome, making them great gifts for any occasion.

It goes without saying that any of these items are sure to be appreciated gifts for any anniversary, the themes are for those who want to follow tradition. We hope we have given you some helpful tips and ideas for the couples you are celebrating in your life.
