Seventh anniversary on the horizon? Although seven may seem like an arbitrary anniversary, it’s a meaningful milestone on the way to a decade of marriage. Plus, it’s a number packed with symbolism that spans religions, mythology, superstition, and philosophy. Most importantly–it’s lucky! So seven years of marriage is a perfect time to celebrate your journey as a couple.

If you want to go the traditional route, choose a gift made of copper or wool.

The traditional gifts for a seventh anniversary are copper and wool. Copper is durable and represents love and protection. A practical gift like a copper growler can be greatly appreciated. In contrast, wool is symbolic of warmth and comfort. Or, you can choose to go the modern route, which suggests a desk set or organizer for the seventh-anniversary celebration–it represents all the work you’ve accomplished together as a couple. However, nothing says you have to play by these rules! You can always go with something else that's totally unique and represents the relationship. A sentimental, romantic gift that's personalized to your partner is also a foolproof option to show your spouse how much they mean to you.

When searching for the perfect gift, it's important to consider an item's durability, thoughtfulness, customization options, and overall quality–so you can ensure your loved one will cherish and use this gift for years to come. With these features in mind, we researched and rounded up the best seventh-anniversary gifts for your sweetheart. For something extra sweet and sentimental, we love the Mnml Portrait Art Custom Anniversary Portrait and the Artifact Uprising Signature Layflat Photo Album. For a classic copper gift that's as practical as it is chic, the Mauviel Copper 5-Piece Set is our top pick.

What to Look for in a Seventh Anniversary Gift

When it comes to choosing an anniversary gift, letting your heart lead the way and leaning into that seemingly cheesy or sentimental something isn’t such a bad idea. If you’re the traditional type, choosing a gift that’s made of copper or wool is a classic way to mark the occasion. Finding something special that’s made of one of those materials, but still has meaning for you as a couple, will make it that much more memorable.

The modern seventh-anniversary gift is a desk set or organizer. While they may seem utilitarian as gifts, they’re symbolic of the pride in the work you’ve done together as a couple and are better suited for those who favor the utilitarian over the sentimental. Regardless of what route you choose, reminding your partner about how much they mean to you by choosing a thoughtful gift is what counts.

FAQ

• What are some creative anniversary ideas?

  Anniversary gifts don’t always have to be wrapped up in a box. There are plenty of creative ways to celebrate that don’t involve buying something at a store. And surprising your partner with an out-of-the-ordinary gift is seriously romantic.

  For the sentimental duo, a trip down memory lane is sure to spark romance. Create a map—hand-drawn, printed, or purchased—that traces the places and moments that were significant in your relationship. Draw hearts at each of your favorite spots as a couple—your favorite coffee shop, the park where you said "yes," the venue where you were married—and reminisce.
  

  Take it a step further by making a day of revisiting each place on the map. Since anniversaries are about love, going back to the place where it all began by recreating your first date is another fun and thoughtful way to honor your relationship. Think back on the details of the date—where you went, what you wore, the ways that you connected—and create an experience that brings it all back, along with those first date butterflies! Tap into your inner poet and woo your partner with a handwritten love poem. Don’t overthink it, just let the words flow. Write it out on a pretty piece of paper, put it in an envelope, and seal it with a kiss. This gift’s about as timeless as love itself!
  

  Does the idea of spoiling your partner make your heart skip a beat? Consider cooking them a romantic meal at home, complete with all the courses. Or treat them to a candle-lit spa night by drawing a bubble bath, dimming the lights, and popping out the bubbly for a romantic evening that’s also nurturing and sweet.
