Weddings and wedding anniversaries are steeped in tradition but in the modern age it can be difficult to maintain a sense of traditionalism when it comes to gift-giving. Paper, lace and leather might not seem like the most inspired choices, but the traditional wedding anniversary gifts have vast potential for creative thinking and fun gift-giving.
Celebrating your wedding anniversary as a couple is about celebrating your union as a loving, inseparable partnership and choosing something that better represents your love for one another shows forethought, consideration and also sends the message that you’re still deeply attracted to your husband or wife.
To make your wedding anniversary traditional, romantic and sexy, check out these suggestions for alternative sexy gifts to celebrate your marriage and rekindle some of that wedding night passion.
-
1st Wedding Anniversary Cotton - Bondage Boutique Cotton Rope
Bed linen is commonly given for the first wedding anniversary, but a length of soft cotton bondage rope like the Bondage Boutique Cotton Rope (£8.99) is much better poised to make your anniversary a memorable one. Maybe the in-laws can buy the new bedding instead.
-
2nd Wedding Anniversary Paper - Fifty Shades of Grey by E L James
Leave gifts of money for the family and turn your attention to writing your partner a sexy love note slipped inside an erotic book like Fifty Shades of Grey (£5.00). The letter adds a personal touch to an intensely titillating read.
-
3rd Wedding Anniversary Leather - Bondage Boutique Leather Gift Set
Shoes, handbags, belts? There's much more fun to be had with leather on your wedding anniversary. The Bondage Boutique Leather Gift Set (£24.99) will add a kinky twist and with so many bondage accessories out there you'll find something to tickle (or spank) your fancy.
-
4th Wedding Anniversary Flowers - Icicles Rose Glass Dildo
Whether it's your fourth wedding anniversary or not, there had better be flowers on the cards. You can make your floral offering more exciting with a sex toy in a botanical or fruity shape like a butt plug shaped like a raspberry or this Icicles Rose Glass Dildo (£34.99).
-
5th Wedding Anniversary Wood - Wooden Spanking Paddle
Giving your partner wood or receiving wood is a wonderfully rewarding experience, but giving it in the right way makes all the difference. Put down that wooden statue of a cat sleeping and pick up the Fetish Fantasy Wooden Spanking Paddle (£9.99) to outdo the leather one from two years ago.
-
6th Wedding Anniversary Sugar - Lust Dust Edible Body Powder
Avoid the temptation to wrap a 1kg bag of sugar, your partner probably won't find it funny. Instead make sugar sexy with rude food. Lust Dust (£2.99) is a sugary treat that can be licked off the body and for a more interactive experience, try a chocolate willy moudling kit.
-
7th Wedding Anniversary Wool - Lovehoney Branded Fleece
OK, we admit it. Wool just isn't sexy. Nor are sheep. So what do we do about wool? The only thing we could come up with is either knitting some intimate wear for your partner's privates (don't... just don't) or buying a snuggly Lovehoney Branded Fleece (£39.99) to keep out chills.
-
8th Wedding Anniversary Salt - Sliquid Oceanics Natural Lube
Ready salted crisps, rock salt and sushi are probably the best you could come up with for this one. That’s all we managed until we remembered Sliquid Oceanics Lube (£14.99) which is infused with natural marine extracts, making a salt-themed anniversary infinitely more erotic.
-
9th Wedding Anniversary Copper - Fancy Dress Police Hat
The stuff that pennies and tuppences are made from, but also a sexy roleplay suggestion. Would you rather receive some metal that tarnishes swiftly that you'll be cleaning forever or a half-dressed sexy police officer yielding handcuffs?
-
10th Wedding Anniversary Tin - Strawberry Massage Candle
Once again, refrain from gifting your now long-suffering partner a tin of beans for giggles. A heart-shaped tin containing a massage candle not only presents itself as a romantic gift, it comes with the promise of loving attention and intimacy so is bound to be a winner. The Earthly Body Strawberry Massage Candle (£12.99) is lickable too - yum!
-
11th Wedding Anniversary Steel - njoy Pure Stainless Steel Dildo
Stainless steel is rather underrated as an attractive metal, perhaps because it's not precious. It's attractive, highly reflective and doesn't cause allergic reactions and this makes it the perfect material to make sex toys from. Try a metal dildo like the njoy Pure Wand (£99.99) as a sexy alternative to a cutlery set.
-
12th Wedding Anniversary Silk - Lelo Intima Silk Blindfold
A luxurious fabric that begs to be touched and stroked, how can you possibly resist the chance to gift something erotic? A silk blindfold like the Lelo Intima (£34.99) offers a soft and romantic experience that you can take it in turns to share, enhancing your trust and increasing your sexual anticipation for one another’s touch.
-
13th Wedding Anniversary Lace - Leg Avenue 4 Piece Lace Set
Been looking forward to this one? The lace wedding anniversary is practically begging you to invest in sexy lacy lingerie, but did you know it can be a two-way thing? We have a wide range of lacy underwear for men as well (and it gets absolutely amazing reviews!).
-
14th Wedding Anniversary Ivory - Ivory Corselette and G-String Set
Enjoy a cruelty-free ivory wedding anniversary by staying away from the real deal and focusing on the colour instead. Our top suggestion would be to have a snoop around the bridal lingerie section and go for something pale, pretty and reminiscent of your wedding.
-
15th Wedding Anniversary Crystal - Crystal Vajazzle Tattoo
Leave the more traditional gift of crystal ornaments and champagne flutes to well-meaning relatives and opt for something sparkly to twinkle in the bedroom. A Vajazzle is a fun way to surprise your partner on your crystal anniversary but more adventurous lovers might want to try a Rosebud Crystal Butt Plug (£69.99).
-
20th Wedding Anniversary China - China Brush Delay
There’s not much sexy about teacups and who needs yet more ornaments to dust? China Brush Delay Solution (£8.99) is an on-theme gift for your china wedding anniversary and it comes with the promise of longer-lasting lovemaking, allowing you to enjoy your wedding anniversary with an extended sexy theme.
-
25th Wedding Anniversary Silver - Ben Wa Balls
There’s nothing quite as desired in silver than a pair of jiggle balls. Since the release of Fifty Shades of Grey, silver balls like our Oriental Ben Wa Balls (£3.00), are seriously hot property. Not only do they feel great for her to wear, he’ll enjoy the benefits of her feeling tighter, more toned and experiencing more intense orgasms too.
-
30th Wedding Anniversary Pearl - Pearl Thong
30 years of marriage is quite a substantial accomplishment, but that doesn’t mean you have to crack out the pearl earrings and twinset or opt for an embellished shaving brush. The Cottelli Pearl Thong (£9.99) is a wonderful stimulating gift for her, and watching you get hot under the collar will tick his boxes too.
-
40th Wedding Anniversary Ruby - Julian Snelling Ruby Rosebud Butt Plug
After forty years together your sexual experimentation will have reached some exciting piques and investing in some luxury sex toys is an ideal way to celebrate your sexual liberation as a couple. Julian Snelling Rosebud Butt Plug (£69.99) features a crystal in the base and the gorgeous ruby red edition is the ideal substitute for jewellery and cufflinks.
-
50th Wedding Anniversary Gold - Flickering Touch 24 Carat Gold Massage Oil
Unless you’re incredibly rich, a solid gold sex toy is probably outside your means. You can compromise with Lelo’s Flickering Touch Massage Oil (£24.99), which contains flakes of genuine 24K gold that glisten on the skin, leaving you basking in the golden glow of your love.
-
60th Wedding Anniversary Diamond - Crowned Jewels Diamond Vibrator
Finding something as unique as your 60 years of marriage is going to be a challenge. If splashing out on real diamonds is something you’ve not done since your engagement then why not dig (very) deep for the Crowned Jewels Silver and Diamond Vibrator (£5,212), available on our sister site Coco de Mer.
