There is no need to be biased towards this date - it is better to spend the day in such a way that the associations that the devil’s dozen evoke disappear on a wave of positive mood. Positive emotions can also be caused by a correctly and tastefully selected souvenir for a couple.

What do spouses give each other for a lace (lily of the valley) wedding?
When choosing a gift, they often focus on the symbolism of the celebration. But such gifts will not always please you, so it is quite appropriate to focus on the person’s wishes and lifestyle.
If you take into account the symbolism of the celebration when choosing, then successful gift options will be lace products or items made of another material, but imitating a thread pattern. In addition, you can use the lily of the valley theme.
Jewelry is always a welcome gift for a woman. There are many models with openwork elements in jewelry stores.
Accessories and clothing items, linen with lace are more suitable for a wife. Wearing things decorated with delicate weaving or adorned with a pattern of lilies of the valley is not typical for men. It is worth choosing another gift for your spouse, for example, one related to his hobby, and supporting the symbolism of the holiday with properly designed packaging.
A gift chosen for a husband or wife can be personalized with embroidery or engraving with the number 13. The latter can be applied to almost any material - metal, glass, wood. And embroidery with a memorable inscription can decorate a bathrobe or a stylish accessory, such as a personalized scarf.
A universal gift for any anniversary for both husband and wife is a gift certificate or card. You just need to decide what category of purchases or services to purchase it for, and let your other half choose a specific gift of their own choosing. By the way, a certificate or card can be placed in an envelope decorated with a lace ribbon or with a pattern of intricately intertwined threads or lilies of the valley.
What to give to friends
When choosing a souvenir, not only symbolism or usefulness is often taken into account, but also financial possibilities.
