15-Year Anniversary Gifts for Your Wife

A 15-year anniversary is a milestone that couples celebrate with love and gift-giving. For a husband, the tasks of finding the perfect gift can be difficult. However, if he sticks to traditional and modern gift themes, he should be fine. The traditional flower for a 15-year anniversary is the rose, the gemstone is ruby and the crystal is the primary material. Using those three components, he can then find his wife a romantic and memorable gift that represents not only the marriage, but his wife’s personality.

Crystal

When it comes to shopping for his wife a 15-year anniversary gift, a husband has plenty of crystal gift ideas to choose from. There are crystal plaques, picture frames, glasses, dishes, clocks, champagne flukes, vases and more. He can even personalize the frames, clocks and other items with her name, the anniversary date, a poem or any other inscription he feels is significant to the anniversary. More unique gifts that a wife will not only cherish, but also find romantic, are teddy bears and roses made out of crystal. The rose can be made as a sculpture or a plain crystal rosebud. Heart paperweights and plain crystal hearts are other crystal personalization within the modern theme that represents the 15-year anniversary milestone the couple has reached.

Flowers

Even though the rose represents traditional flower for a 15-year anniversary, a husband can create gift ideas using a rose, besides the basic bouquet. A cute gesture with the flower is to buy 15 dozen for her, each dozen representing a year of marriage. A rose symbolizes hope, magic, passion and love. There is no standard color, which means a husband can get his wife any or every color of roses for this special occasion. For those husbands who prefer to buy gifts that represent the flower, he can choose from rose-scented gifts and toiletries (rose water, rose inspired candles, rose-scented soaps and more).

Jewelry

Women love jewelry, so a husband can purchase his wife a piece of jewelry with the ruby gemstone to symbolize the 15 years of life that the couple has spent together as husband and wife. Alternative gemstones for a 15 year anniversary are alexandrite and rhodolite garnet. A husband can buy his wife an anniversary ring, bracelet, pendant, watch, pair of earrings, pins and brooches using one or all three of the gemstones above. He may even consider having something inscribed on the jewelry, so that she can remember the day the two were married, as well as the day he gave her the gift every time she wears or looks at it.
