A Wool Gift for a 7th Anniversary
The traditional 7th anniversary gift is an item made of wool. A spouse celebrating a 7th anniversary may find it challenging to come up with a wool gift that feels appropriately romantic. A friend or relative wishing to celebrate a couple's 7th anniversary may find it difficult to locate a wool gift that can be shared by a couple. If you want to take the traditional route, however, remember that wool symbolizes warmth, comfort and durability; all are important qualities for a healthy marriage and a thoughtful gift.

Scarves, shawls, ties and socks are affordable wool gifts. Wool sweaters, jackets and suits may also be appropriate.Buy coordinating scarves or sweaters for a couple celebrating their 7th anniversary. Boots lined with sheepskin also make a good present, particularly for outdoor enthusiasts or a couple whose anniversary falls in the winter. To upgrade the quality of the gift, purchase a clothing item made of soft and cozy merino wool.

For a gift with less intimate connotations, a wool rug or wool pillow adds a decorative touch to any room. Give a wall hanging or stuffed animal made out of wool to add a cheerful touch to the couple's home. Give wool potholders or oven mitts to a couple that enjoys cooking.
