The 7th anniversary at a glance

What it means

Wool and copper both stand for warmth: one keeps you warm, the other conducts it. Seven years is said to be the year a marriage proves it can stay warm.

7th anniversary gift ideas

• A wool blanket for two.
• Copper mugs or a copper kettle.
• Knitwear, ideally made rather than bought.
• A desk set for the modern list.

A gift about the day itself

Whatever the material, the gifts that are kept are about the marriage. Seven years after the wedding, the real galaxy that was overhead during the ceremony can be framed with both names and the date: a telescope photograph matched to the day, time and place it began.
