Just one year after the milestone of the tenth anniversary, the 11th yesr of marriage may feel like a little anti-climax however you should still help your parents to celebrate by giving them a special 11 year anniversary gift that demonstrates the extent of your love and appreciation for all they do. Any anniversary gift should be something that will last as an enduring memento to reflect the happiness of the occasion so whether you opt for a more traditional gift that incorporates the traditional material of this marital year or one of the more contemporary gift suggestions, the most important thing is to select something that your parents will really cherish as a commemoration of this life event.
Finding Traditional 11 Year Anniversary Gifts for Parents
The 11th anniversary has its own special material associated with it, with all the connotations and symbolism that it reflects. Steel is the material commonly connected with the 11 year anniversary, reflecting the strength and robustness of an 11 year long union. Like steel, a couple who are entering their second decade of marriage cannot easily be broken apart but have formed an enduring and lasting bond against the trials of life. There are plenty of fantastic steel gifts out there, whether your parents would like to receive a practical present or a more decorative gift. Surprise the happy couple with a function yet beautiful set of stainless steel cutlery that will see plenty of use for both everyday and special occasions for years to come, or bring a decorative touch to the home with a steel sculpture for the home or garden or a stylish pair of steel candlesticks to grace the mantelpiece. For a fun gift, why not give your parents a steel wine cooler or bottle opener together with a bottle of their favourite drink? Or a percolator or coffee pot might be the ideal choice for parents who can’t get up in the morning without their fix of caffeine! For a more personal gift, why not give both your parents a stainless steel watch that will help them to think of you whenever they look at the time, or choose steel jewellery as the perfect 11th anniversary gift for her, or steel cufflinks as the ideal 11 year anniversary gift for him.
