The anniversary of 14 years is not an anniversary, and, it seems, not such a long period for family relationships. On the other hand, not every couple manages to maintain the strength and warmth of feelings after this time. Therefore, in a series of family holidays, the agate anniversary should not be ignored. It is important to celebrate it correctly, observe traditions and please it with useful or memorable gifts. Choosing a gift for this holiday, as for any other, becomes a problem for many. We will try to figure out what will be appropriate and what will please the heroes of the occasion.
Agate wedding: features and traditions
In the time that has passed since the wedding, the couple has managed to study the characters and characteristics of each other’s behavior. The couple, as they say, have gotten used to it. On the one hand, over 14 years of marriage, the relationship has acquired a certain monotony - it seems that the flame of feelings has faded somewhat and nothing can bring back the former explosion of emotions and the so-called intensity of passions.On the other hand, the marriage has gained stability, love has stood the test of time, and, despite various troubles in life that affect any family, it was possible to maintain a “unit of society.”
The choice of agate as a symbol specifically for the 14th wedding anniversary was not made by chance. This semi-precious stone has veins of dark and light shades. They seem to symbolize happy, joyful and problematic moments in the life of every couple.
A great option would be to spend the day together. Have a romantic dinner, remember joyful moments of the past, look through a photo album. Any option should charge you with positive emotions and leave pleasant memories.
What to give for an agate wedding
Well, now it’s worth finding out what would be an appropriate and joyful gift on this day for your spouse, wife, friends or relatives.
To my husband
Of course, over 14 years of marriage, the wife has studied her husband’s tastes and preferences and knows about his hobbies and desires. Therefore, choosing an appropriate gift after some thought will not be a big problem. However, it is important to remember about the symbolism of the celebration. In this case, the selected item will become not only useful or pleasant, but also memorable, with the meaning:
- ring with agate - jewelry with a black stone looks status and original;
- other accessories, decorated with mineral - cufflinks, tie clip, keychain, bracelet, wristwatch;
- an ashtray or cigarette case - again with agate elements;
- desktop organizer or stylish pen in a case with stone decor.
If none of the above is appreciated by your spouse, it is worth purchasing something that suits his interests, but additionally take care of buying the mineral as a souvenir.
Reference. Agate is considered one of the most beautiful semi-precious stones. The multi-colored layers make each mineral special. The price for individual copies varies from 100 rubles to several tens of thousands. Therefore, at any level of income, you can follow the traditions and purchase a symbol of the celebration as a keepsake. Or buy several and use them to decorate a homemade gift, such as an album or photo frame. A gift decorated with stone yourself will cost less.
Wife
Even the most caring and attentive man will not be able to guess what his other half wants. Any gift for the wife, regardless of the type of celebration, should be accompanied by a beautiful bouquet or flower arrangement (a more humane option from the point of view of respect for nature is a living plant in a pot). This is an axiom that does not require proof. Following it is already half the battle.
Options for an appropriate and memorable gift for an agate wedding for a wife include various jewelry and accessories with this stone:
- an exquisite necklace or beads - there is a sign according to which a married couple will be together for many years, like beads strung one after another in a piece of jewelry;
- interior elements - original candlesticks, a figurine, a vase, the so-called tree of love (all decorated with semi-precious stone);
- paired keychains or pens;
- a stylishly designed photo frame - it’s good if it immediately contains a family photo;
- consecrated icon.
Accessories and items decorated with agate can be accompanied by other useful and desirable gifts for the couple - a set of exquisite bed linen, a certificate for a photo shoot, household appliances.As for the last option, it is not necessary to choose an expensive device, but to give a device that is usually not on the list of priority purchases, but this is not considered less useful. For example, a thermopot, a juicer, a humidifier, an air purifier and ionizer, a clothes steamer, a sandwich maker, a toaster, a blender, a deep fryer, a smart kettle, a coffee machine - it depends on the preferences of the spouses.
Original gifts that are appropriate to give for any wedding anniversary include:
- paired T-shirts, towels, bathrobes with inscriptions;
- mosaic panel or lightbox with a photo of the spouses;
- other cute, touching or funny souvenirs.
You can find all this in specialized stores or on online platforms.
Any gift options, chosen taking into account the preferences of the spouses, the symbols of the holiday and always with love, will delight the heroes of the occasion. But what you shouldn’t give for an agate anniversary is an envelope with money. Such a gift is quite appropriate on the wedding day itself, but not on any of its anniversaries.
