A year ago, the couple celebrated their first “round” anniversary. Today it’s time to celebrate the 11th anniversary, which, like all similar dates, has its own symbolism and characteristics. No celebration is complete without gifts. Their successful choice greatly contributes to the creation of a positive atmosphere. As a rule, gifts are selected in accordance with the symbolism of the holiday. However, this approach is not always the best solution. The couple's preferences and needs must also be taken into account.
11 year anniversary: what kind of wedding is it, features
The date was called steel. This alloy is known for its strength - just like a marital union in the second decade of family life. The love that united two people has long grown into a more serious and strong feeling. Now the relationship is “polished” by everyday and everyday problems. A conjugal union represents a full and equal partnership, a tandem is 1+1.
What to give for a steel wedding
When choosing a gift, you should take into account not only the date symbol, but also the number 11 itself.These two guidelines expand the range of successful gifts.
Options for gifts for spouses to each other
Of course, the most expected and desired gift is a souvenir from your significant other. It’s good if it’s customary for a couple to agree on what kind of present they would like to receive. It's another matter when you need a surprise.
The following gift options for your husband will help you take into account the symbolism and, perhaps, wishes:
- Swiss steel knife;
- a stylish lighter (it’s worth accompanying it with a bottle of fuel for refilling);
- wrist watch;
- a pen (you can present it in a set with a diary);
- good quality leather belt with buckle;
- accessory - bracelet, chain with pendant;
- flash drive of original design;
- a piece of tourist equipment - a thermos, a flask, a flashlight;
- car accessory;
- set of tools.
All of the above options must be made of steel or with elements made of this alloy. To personalize the gift, you can order an engraving - always with the presence of the number 11.
Any gift for your wife should be accompanied by a bouquet of 11 favorite flowers.
There is a sign: if the composition stands for 11 days, then all year, until the next date, everything will be fine for the couple. Based on this, you should carefully consider the choice of bouquet.
Examples of steel gifts for the wife:
- any gadget that the spouse has long dreamed of - for example, a tablet or an e-reader;
- decoration - accessories made from the right material can be found in a wide range both in regular and online stores;
- a stylish powder compact or pocket mirror - these items are usually purchased as a symbolic accompaniment to another, practical gift;
- jewelry holder;
- wrist watch;
- wallet, belt, bag with alloy element.
If you do not focus on symbolism, then the choice of gifts expands significantly. Here it is worth taking into account the person’s hobbies and lifestyle.
For both the wife and the husband, the best gift option would be a gift certificate or card. The spouse can order dinner at a restaurant or organize a weekend trip for a vacation together. Such a pastime will distract you from the everyday hustle and bustle and allow you to immerse yourself again in romance, which is sometimes lacking in a relationship after several years of marriage.
What to give to children for their 11th wedding anniversary
The main categories of gifts from parents are dishes, household items, decor and interior elements, and household appliances. The last option is the most successful choice specifically for presenting on a steel anniversary, because the body of many models of various devices is made of this alloy. It is worth neglecting the opportunity to make a surprise and find out in advance what the heroes of the occasion would like to receive from the equipment. Perhaps a suitable gift will be in the following list:
- air grill or kebab maker;
- multicooker or double boiler;
- coffee machine;
- juicer;
- robot vacuum cleaner;
- steam cleaner for cleaning;
- weather station;
- smart devices;
- planetary mixer;
- climate complex;
- humidifier, ionizer or air purifier;
- dryer
Household appliances are not the only gift option that is symbolic and practical. Various decorative items and interior elements made of steel (or with parts made of this alloy) will decorate the house, make it cozier and more comfortable. These items include types and models of lighting fixtures: chandeliers, sconces, table or floor lamps.
If the interior style allows, then you can give:
- panel;
- sculpture;
- housekeeper:
- vase;
- coffee or coffee table;
- hanging shelves;
- set - table and chairs for the kitchen.
Naturally, it is meant that all decorative elements and furniture will be made of alloy.
Spouses themselves can purchase household appliances and interior items using a gift certificate or card they receive from their parents.
Gifts for friends
To give to close friends, it is worth playing with the option of paired souvenirs. This will support the symbolism of the number 11 itself. Examples of such gifts:
- beautiful cup holders;
- glasses of exclusive design;
- blanket with sleeves for two;
- orthopedic pillows with memory effect;
- items of clothing or accessories that can be further personalized.
An option for a present could be devices and sets for outdoor recreation: grill grates, skewers. A collectible bottle of wine aged the same year as the marriage is an original and symbolic gift.
A suitable present is a portrait of the spouses on canvas from a photo, imitating an oil painting.
At the same time, an original, symbolic and tasty present is a twisted steel basket filled with elite chocolate, exclusive varieties of coffee, tea, and delicacies.
It’s ideal if you can choose a gift that both matches the symbol and is useful for the couple. The variety of options listed above will certainly help you make a good choice.
