Give Your Parents a Traditional 13th Anniversary Gift

lace 13th anniversary giftThe traditional material for the 13th wedding anniversary is lace, with its symbolic meaning. Lace is made during a complicated process that requires a lot of experience and practice. An art that was developed as long ago as the 16th century, lacemaking is a skill that is complicated to learn, especially when produced by hand in the customary way. This reflects the way a couple who have been married for 13 years have learned through practice and experience how to work together to make their marriage a success. As the lacemaker perfects the ancient art of making fabric in this beautiful and intricate way, a successful marriage entwines the threads of the couple’s individual lives together into a thing of beauty as strong and complex as the fabric of the lace. Give your parents a traditional 13 year anniversary gift of lace by presenting them with a lovely lace tablecloth to grace the table on both everyday and special occasions or give a more personal gift such as a stylish lace blouse or lace patterned scarf as a gorgeous 13th anniversary gift for her.
