37th Anniversary Gift Themes
There is no traditional gift or gemstone for the 37-year anniversary, but the modern gift is alabaster. Soft yet durable, this sedimentary rock is typically found in a creamy white color and is believed to symbolize purity. It also represents the strength and vulnerability required for a long-lasting marriage. While alabaster is usually white and translucent, it can come in other colors, such as black and pink.

Unlike other years, the 37th anniversary doesn't have a particular flower or gemstone associated with it. However, if you feel like gifting your love some fresh blooms, you can always go for a bunch of white flowers to tie in with the modern anniversary symbol. Similarly, if jewelry is on your gifting radar, you could choose something made from alabaster or a bepsoke jewelry box to help your spouse store all their treasured trinkets.
