Traditional Seven-Year Anniversary Gifts

Traditionally, seven years of marriage is represented by gifts made from copper and wool, two deeply symbolic materials. Copper is strong yet malleable, making it the perfect tribute to a relationship that has grown and changed over time. Wool, on the other hand, is associated with warmth and comfort—like the fuzzy feelings you get from being truly seen in a relationship. Together, these materials symbolize a strong, loving bond between two people who are secure and happy in their union. While wool and copper anniversary gifts may seem hard to find, they're surprisingly versatile materials to work with. Here are the best traditional seventh wedding anniversary gifts for him, her or them.

Recycled Wool Blanket

Perk up your picnics with a woven blanket that's sustainably made from 70% recycled fibers. It's estimated that each one prevents six garments from reaching landfill, transforming preloved clothing into a plush blanket you'll want to keep forever. We love the punchy brights of this particular colorway but there are tons of other shades available to suit your tastes. Have it embroidered with a monogram, special date or star sign for a luxurious finish.

Sentimental Penny Art

One of the first things that comes to mind when we think of copper is the humble penny. Just like finding one on the ground, you were fortunate enough to find your spouse among all the other people on earth. This unique plaque is a fun way to celebrate how lucky you are in love. It displays three special dates from your relationship (such as when you met, got married or marked your seventh anniversary), each beside the year's corresponding coin.

The traditional wool anniversary theme is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your partner's wardrobe with something special, like this gorgeous Merino hoodie. The lightweight style is easy to pack into a small backpack, while the breathable fabric regulates temperature and is super comfy to wear. The natural wool even protects against odor-causing bacteria, so your spouse can wear it many times before it needs to be washed.

Stylish Fondue Set

Spoil the cheese enthusiast in your life (while honoring the traditional seven-year anniversary gifting material) with this stylish fondue set. Because copper is such an excellent conductor of heat, it's the perfect vessel for melting cheese or chocolate at an even temperature—which means no more worrying about burning your favorite foods. This set from Boska includes a large metal pot, a concrete base with an integrated burner and four stainless steel forks.

Cozy Merino Socks

While cold hands are believed to signify a warm heart, we think the same can be said for cold feet. If your partner struggles with icy toes while out and about, these cozy socks will be a lifesaver. They come in a set of four and are made from a mix of Merino wool and polyester—ideal for outdoor activities like mountain hikes and romantic forest walks. Pick from men's or women's sizes to suit your spouse's preferences.

Anniversary Material Keepsake

The framed keepsake features an embossed metal heart and a short message about the significance of the traditional seven-year anniversary material. Add your names and wedding date to bring an extra layer of meaning to this thoughtful gift.

Modern Seven-Year Anniversary Gifts

What is the modern seven-year anniversary gift? There are actually two for this particular milestone: Desk sets and stationery items. These modern alternatives to the traditional anniversary materials represent a couple's respect for each other's work and interests. They can be practical and personal gifts if your partner works from home or wants to make their office space more inspiring. But it doesn't always have to be about work—stationery gifts can also be a great way to encourage your spouse to take up a new hobby or spend more time planning (and dreaming) for the future. Check out our favorite modern anniversary gifts to help you mark seven years in style.

Unique Seven-Year Anniversary Gifts

If the traditional and modern gift ideas don't appeal to you, there are a few other seven-year wedding anniversary symbols to consider. The seven-year anniversary stone is onyx (a gem that's said to block negative energy), while the designated anniversary flower is the freesia. This sweetly scented bloom symbolizes fidelity, trust and friendship, which is especially fitting for a marriage that has thrived for over seven years. Finally, yellow and off-white are the colors that represent this particular milestone.

Below, we've included gifts that celebrate each of these seventh-anniversary themes, along with a few cool alternatives that break tradition.
