21 Wool Gifts to Warm Your 7th Anniversary
Can you believe it’s been seven years since you said I do? Time really does fly when you’re having fun!
You’ve been together long enough to have an very good idea of what makes you both tick, and your 7th year anniversary is the perfect time to show how well you know each other. That said, you’ve likely bought each other a ton of gifts by now. Finding a new and exciting twist can take a bit of thought.
To help kick start your inspiration, we’ve got some insight into the traditional seventh anniversary gifts for both him and her as well as a roundup of our favorites.
What’s the Traditional 7th Year Anniversary Gift?
Much has been made about the so called ‘seven year itch‘ in marriage. You’ll know how little that means when you’ve found your special someone. That said, this is a great anniversary to remind your partner just how much you care about them. If you follow UK anniversary gifting tradition, look for a woollen gift to help you do it.
Symbolizing comfort and warmth, wool is a great reminder that your beloved is there to look out for you — and vice versa.
If wool doesn’t appeal, take your cue from the US and hunt for copper gifts. Not only does it have a rosy glow, but it’s also the metal most associated with Venus, the Greek goddess of love and beauty.
Modern 7th Anniversary Gift
If you’d rather go for a modern take on your anniversary gifts, then you’ll be looking at desk sets and things made of brass (maybe you could even combine the two).
- Freesia: A popular and fragrant flower around the world, freesia symbolizes friendship, trust, and innocence.
- Onyx: The traditional gemstone for a 7th anniversary is the black onyx – claimed to bestow health, success in lawsuits, and safe travels among other things.

Seven years in and you guys are still going strong. Find him a woollen gift that appeals to his softer side, or choose an outdoor accessory that reminds him you love his adventurous spirit.
1) Wool Backpack
by Oliday
I just love the look of this wool backpack. Made from 100% wool felt, 100% full grain leather, and solid brass hardware.
As one Etsy reviewer states, “He got everything he needed in it when travelling for an overnight business trip. Used it as his carry-on and easily accessed his laptop. It wasn’t bulky and it was perfect for him to bring into a meeting with such a stylish look.”
2) Wool Felt Coasters

If he enjoys dipping into a bottle of malt or sampling a few craft beers of a weekend (and who doesn’t!?), a set of wool felt coasters will be a great companion for his favourite tipple.

If your other half likes to stay active, a wool beanie is a fun, budget-savvy way to support his hobbies. Perfect whether he’s a golfer, runner, or even just a laid back weekend rambler, give him a gift he’ll be happy to use all the time.
4) Copper Wood Burning Fire Pit
Give your guy a gift that will add to the outdoor area of your home. Nothing makes a statement like a big, bold designed copper fire pit.
5) Wool Toiletry Bag
by TrueHaving
If you’re a couple who loves to holiday, a wool toiletry bag is a practical choice that also gives a nod to some of your most special moments together. On the other hand, if he has to travel a lot for work, it will be a nice reminder that you’re thinking of him every time he’s away.
6) Merino Wool Scarf
by Nordstrom
I know, again with the scarf gift idea!! But hey, we love a good scarf – especially when made from Merino wool. Wrap up your husband in a hug, even when you’re not around, with a super soft scarf. Merino acts to transport moisture away from the skin so he’ll never feel cold and clammy with accessory this around his neck. It’s a gift he will use again and again and can easily be scaled up or down to meet your budget.
7) Copper Fountain Pen
by Kaweco
A good fountain pen can last a lifetime. Buy him one in copper for your seven year anniversary and he’ll think of you fondly whenever he’s sitting down to get some writing done. Feel free to drop as many hints about romantic notes as you like!
8) Wool Picnic Blanket

Conjure up all the fun and romance that only a picnic can provide:
