Until then, we’ve rounded up a list of what we can look forward to. Scroll for a full list of traditional wedding anniversary gifts below!
Think love letters, framed pictures, or why not even a try your hand at calligraphy and do up a pretty version of your vows?
Clothing is an option for sure, but why not invest is some luxe Egyptian cotton sheets for your marital bed?
From luxe weekender bags to new wallets, the options are limitless!
It’s pretty self explanatory here, I mean who wouldn’t love a handful of lush blooms on their anniversary?!
