Anniversary Gifts By Year

Summer is our most popular wedding season, which means it’s also when we celebrate many wedding anniversaries. Anniversary gifts can be tough, but it can be fun to celebrate the couple’s anniversary by giving them the traditional anniversary gift for the number of years they’ve been married.

To help inspire you I’ve compiled a list of traditional anniversary gifts by year:

Now admittedly, some of these could be a little tricky. I mean, what would you give someone for their 6th anniversary?!? But hey - let the list be an inspiration for you to think outside the box and use your imagination when it comes to wedding anniversary gifts. Have fun!

<Shameless Plug Alert!> You’ll find cute First Anniversary Gifts in my personalized print shop. Head over to colorbeelove.etsy.com to see the full selection of personalized art prints for anniversaries, weddings and baby celebrations (made of paper, get it?).

Cool Print

Let’s Not and Say We Did is a cool print for that hard to please type of person.  My dog inspired me to create this one.  She begged me to go for a walk the other day when the temperature outside was 107°F. 
This was my reaction:

Giveaway Winner

Sure there weren’t many entries and the second entry wanted the first one to win (so that clinched it), but we do have an awesome winner of “You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Gray” 11x14 print.

Congratulations to Jessica of The Paper Plume for her successful entry, saying

“I would hang it in my little boy's room. He already has a print that says 'You are my sunshine, my only sunshine". This would be perfect. So cute!”  

Aww, I can see why Rebecca wanted her to win:)
If you haven’t visited The Paper Plume yet, go there today! Jessica has created a gorgeous blog, I especially love this post about creating DIY Memory Game Wall Art – it’s on my ‘must do’ list.  And of course I loved her post featuring my Safety Dance print <shameless plug>.
Congrats Jessica, your print is on its way, hope it’ll look fabulous in your little boy’s room.

You Are My Sunshine Art Prints

Are these cute or what? Another custom order, this time for a customer who wanted a trio of You Are My Sunshine art prints to match this wallpaper sample:

And here’s what we came up with:

I think they’re just adorable. Usually I believe custom orders should be ‘one of a kind’, but sometimes I like to tweak the design a little so I can list a similar item in my shop, maybe I’ll do that with these 3 prints:) What do you think?

Hope you have a sunny weekend!
