All anniversaries are about love and the celebration of the many years of togetherness. With the passage of time and the addition of responsibilities, the landscape of emotions also changes, but…
… if love is at the core, then that is all that really matters.
Let your 9th wedding anniversary gifts be an eclectic mix of the modern and the traditional. Leather need not be just jackets and belts. Make her feel special as you present her with a trendy and fun leather flask in some hot colour like pink or mauve, complete with a monogram of her name on it, making it a one-of-a-kind gift. If she loves wine, she’ll also love another classy modern gift: a beautiful leather wine bottle holder with her favourite bottle of wine within.
Poppy / Poppies – the 9th Anniversary Flower
Although it was the Romans who introduced poppy into England, this lovely flower has been in existence since 3000 years – evidence of them was found in Egyptian tombs! The 9th anniversary flower symbolises remembrance and comes in radiant white, yellow or orange colours.
The Romans attributed supernatural powers to this orange-red flower, and used it for witchcraft and for healing love wounds.
Poppies were also used as love charms by the ancient Greeks who believed that the flowers symbolised fertility, health and strength.
Charm her with some traditional ceramic pottery – maybe a lovely ceramic house decorated with roses which can also function as a small table lamp. Or, how about some truly exotic Tuscan ceramics and Italian pottery? She can show it off at her next party!
9th Anniversary Jewellery – Tiger’s Eye and Lapis Lazuli
Tiger’s Eye is so named because its rich golden yellow colour strongly resembles the feline glitter of a tiger’s eye. The ancient Roman soldiers swore by Tiger’s eye amulets and talismans, wearing it for protection during battles.
Tiger’s Eye signifies confidence, protection and good luck.
Since ancient times, Tiger’s Eye has been the favourite stone in good luck charms as protection against witchcraft and the evil eye. It is said to help achieve clarity in perception and relationships.
The intense blue-gold Lapis Lazuli is an ancient semi-precious stone that was highly prized by the Babylonian and Egyptian royalty. While the Egyptians wore it as a talisman, Christianity considered it to be the stone of the Virgin Mary. Lapis lazuli is said to eliminate negative feelings and cure depression.
Wrap some Tiger Eye and Lapis Lazuli pendants around a bunch of fresh poppies, and place them in a ceramic vase on her bedside table. A truly great start to the special day!
