Here are the themes linked with the 12th anniversary which you can use to find inspiration for suitable and meaningful gifts for your loved one(s).
Traditional 12th Anniversary Theme for Gifts: United States: Home Décor; United Kingdom: Linen or Silk
Home décor as a 12th wedding anniversary gift theme brings to mind the phrase “home is where the heart is”. Representing the way two committed individuals come together in a settled life, home décor gifts also remind the couple to continue to work on and improve their marriage.
Linen, with its significance of truth and purity, stems back to the Bible, when angels were said to wear linen garments.
After 12 years together, the couple have faced challenges and obstacles, and their union is reinforced. The strength, yet beautiful elegance of silk perfectly reflects this.
Modern 12th Anniversary Theme for Gifts: Pearls
In symbolising purity, honesty and wisdom, pearls are an ideal 12th anniversary gift.
Gemstone: Jade
Alternate Stone: Pearl, Tsavorite, Agate or Garnet
Colour: Oyster-White
Floral Theme: Peony or a **White Rose
The peony has several meanings including romance and joy in a relationship, together with wealth and luck. Its blossom is said to look like a coin, indicating prosperity.
