If you’re soon to be celebrating your wedding anniversary, you’ve no doubt studied the traditional gift list. You’re supposed to give paper as 1st anniversary gifts, cotton second and leather third. Each year, the gifts get more extravagant, and each year you’ll be struggling for weeks to find something appropriate, but did you know that the traditional list isn’t the only one available? There’s a modern anniversary gift list, and it’s becoming an increasingly popular choice. It defines anniversary gifts in a whole new way, and it begins with ‘clocks’.

Clocks are the modern 1st anniversary present. They represent time spent together, and times still to come. Our personalised clock can be engraved with a message of your choice, and you can choose from a selection of fonts to make it even more unique. We offer picture engraving if it’s required, and deliver our quality clocks perfectly packaged to ensure they reach you in excellent condition.

Under the modern anniversary gift list, 5th wedding anniversary gifts should be silverware. That gives you plenty of choice, from our personalised silver jewellery to our gorgeous photo keyrings:

The traditional gift for a 10th anniversary is tin, but on the modern list it’s diamond jewellery. That might sound more expensive, but with our engraved cufflinks for under £15 and our diamond cross pendant for less than £20, we’ve got cheap anniversary gifts for men and women covered.

Your 15th wedding anniversary is typically recognised as crystal, but that’s recognised in your third year of marriage under the modern system, alongside glass giving you the opportunity to buy any of our lovely engraved glasses. In exchange, your 15th anniversary gifts should now be watches. Our personalised pocket watches, as seen below, are a unique gift for the man in your life. You can choose a message for the front and a separate one for the back, or we can engrave one side with the recipient’s initials. Like all of our gifts, our engraved pocket watches are manufactured to the very highest quality.

The silver anniversary stays the same on the modern list, giving you the choice of silver jewellery, or of our beautiful silver photo frames. You can choose a silver compact mirror engraved with a message of love, or give a wonderful heart-shaped trinket. We’re specialists in personalised silver gifts for every occasion, and we’ve got everything you need for a silver anniversary that won’t pass without celebration.

Remember, it’s never too late to choose to follow the modern wedding anniversary gift structure instead of the traditional one. Make the change before your fifth, tenth or fiftieth wedding anniversary. Or, if you’re not a fan of structure, choose whatever you like from our extensive range of personalised anniversary gifts suiting every budget and every taste.

Our gifts can be wrapped professionally, making you look great if you’ve not been with your partner for long enough for them to know your true level of skill, and they can be delivered next-day if you’ve forgotten again. Pick out a personalisation, give your message of love and make your loved one smile whether you’re a traditional couple or a modern one.
