Fifteen years - what kind of wedding is this?
A fifteen-year anniversary is a long time. Not all couples can boast that they have maintained their marriage until this anniversary, which is called the beautiful crystal wedding.
Crystal was not chosen as a symbol by chance. It is associated with purity and harmony. The versatility of colors and the play of light emphasize the closeness and multilateral cooperation of the spouses. On the other hand, the material speaks of the fragility of relationships. After all, crystal is not very durable; if you drop a glass, you will no longer be able to assemble it into a single whole.
Reference. The crystal anniversary speaks of the beauty and harmony of life together, emphasizing that “nothing lasts forever under the moon.”
That's why it's so important to take care of relationships. To do this, it is necessary to seek compromises, make concessions to each other, and support feelings. If the spouses managed to maintain the relationship, the celebration of this date should be approached with special attention.
People have been celebrating this round date for centuries. Over this considerable period of time, the anniversary has acquired various traditions:
- When celebrating a special date, both spouses must drink and eat only from dishes made of crystal. It is believed that this will fill the relationship with happiness and prosperity.
- After the end of the event, you must drink wine or champagne from crystal glasses. After this, they should be broken - for good luck.
- A good symbol is the purchase of a new set that needs to be used to serve the holiday table. This symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in the relationship, which will be filled with bright feelings.
- To decorate the table, you must use dishes, a tablecloth, and flowers in white, sand, or beige shades. You should also give preference to outfits made in this color scheme.
Gift for spouses from parents
Parents know a lot about the economic affairs of their children, and therefore have every right to give gifts on their Wedding Day that are useful in everyday life.
If you want to stay true to the tradition of glass and crystal gifts, then you should consider options such as: a vase, a fruit stand, a salad bowl, a candy bowl, a set of glasses/glasses/shot glasses, an unusual glass bottle for drinks, high-quality tableware or symbolic figurines. If the practical side of the issue is more important to you, pay attention to household appliances. A good gift for a family anniversary could be a multicooker, a steamer, an air humidifier, a robot vacuum cleaner, or a powerful blender. If you know that the iron, or dishwasher, or kettle in the child’s home is faulty, you can also present these simple and familiar devices for the home.
In addition, do not forget that emotions and impressions are the best gifts! Therefore, if you have a sufficient budget, you can send your dear married couple on a trip. It would also be great to present a certificate for a joint visit to the spa for both anniversaries. Or simply give a ticket to the theater, cinema, interesting exhibition or concert. The most important thing in such gifts is that the spouses will be able to spend time together, enjoy warm and sincere communication, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Surprise for wife from husband
It’s easy for a husband to choose a gift for his other half: the name of the anniversary gives ideas. Decorate your wife's fingers with an elegant ring with a clear stone (cubic zirconia, aquamarine, diamond), and her thin wrists with an elegant silver bracelet. It’s good if the jewelry is crystal: after all, crystal is a stone that strengthens marriage bonds and increases the love between husband and wife. This mineral protects its owner from everything terrible and nasty, drives away bad thoughts and bad dreams.
Other options are also interesting:
- jewelry with clear crystals;
- rhinestone-encrusted sunglasses or wristwatches;
- a transparent jewelry box or phone stand;
- the wife’s favorite perfume in a transparent crystalline bottle;
- glass vase with a luxurious bouquet of her favorite flowers.
A great idea would be a romantic gift:
- a joint trip to warm countries or a pleasant weekend in nature;
- a subscription to a massage course or to a spa for two;
- a fun ride on a yacht, helicopter or hot air balloon;
- visiting a theatre, philharmonic or cinema;
- dinner at an expensive restaurant or cafe;
- a set of beautiful underwear.
You can complement the main gift with a charming trinket: a glass angel, a porcelain doll or a tiny glass slipper. Such a cute little thing will decorate the room and remind your wife of your love and tenderness. And be sure to give your beloved woman a huge bouquet of flowers!
Gift to parents from children
Children whose parents are preparing to celebrate the 15th anniversary of marriage are usually not yet able to earn serious amounts of money, and therefore their budget for gifts for a family anniversary is quite limited. But there is no need to despair because of this state of affairs, because we have enough gift ideas that will not require unnecessarily high costs:
- Paired glass figurines;
- Crystal vase with flowers;
- Painted plate;
- Gift sets made of glass with interesting engraving;
- Portrait of parents;
- Collage of memorable photographs;
- Video clip of happy family scenes;
- Homemade cake or pie;
- A poem or congratulation written from the heart;
- Organization of a family holiday (cleanliness of the house, themed decoration, festive dinner).
Romance for your wife
Choosing a gift for your husband is a difficult task. After all, you need not only to buy something original and useful, but also to connect your gift with the theme of the holiday. You can give your beloved man a signet ring with a rock crystal crystal, silver cufflinks or a precious tie pin.
If your husband is not a big fan of jewelry, then try surprising him with one of the following options:
- a chessboard with custom-made miniature crystal figurines;
- rock crystal ashtray;
- a set of glass cognac glasses, beer mugs or whiskey glasses;
- a transparent decanter made in the form of a crystal, filled with the husband’s favorite drink;
- tickets to a football match or a trip to the sea;

- attributes for the car (DVR, phone stand, car vacuum cleaner, soft seat covers, travel toiletry case);
- stylish accessory: wallet, business card holder, lighter, money clip or keychain;
- paperweight or crystal box for office small items;
- perfume.
It is not at all necessary to give crystal or glass items. If you want to make this day memorable, give your spouse a romantic surprise. After all, despite the fact that you are celebrating the holiday with your loved ones, nothing prevents you from repeating the celebration just for the two of you.
