35 Unique 35th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas

Ah, the 35th wedding anniversary. At this point, you’ve probably cycled through all of the “typical” milestone gifts such as jewelry (gold and sterling silver!), headphones, or framed pictures of each other. After three and a half decades of present exchanges, picking up with special anniversary gift ideas l might be a bit more difficult. Well, one easy way of avoiding the obvious is sticking to the traditional themes.

Jade: A Modern 35th Anniversary Wedding Gift

If traditional isn’t your style and you want to go with a more modern gift, try green jade, a gemstone known for its distinct and stunning green color. Jade represents good luck, good fortune, wealth, and wisdom, and is revered in many cultures around the world—and jade anniversary gifts are thought to bring that same luck, fortune, wealth, and wisdom to the couple celebrating 35 years of marriage.

Coral: A Traditional 35th Anniversary Wedding Gift

The thirty-five year anniversary is known as the coral gift year. The actual material, known as “the garden of the sea,” is found on the ocean floor and comes in a range of colors, the most noted being a salmon pink shade. It’s regarded as being an item of peace and transformation, and, back in the day, was believed to hold magical powers. If we’re looking for a symbolic link, coral often takes a long time to form and fully develop, much like a successful union—which is why this traditional gift is the perfect way to commemorate a long, happy marriage.

1. Plant Subscription The Sill, Various Prices

Plants are a great way of livening up any space, and jade ones, in particular, are of the succulent variety, which means that they hold water in their leaves. So, green thumb or not, they should be fairly easy to take care of. If you’re looking for unique 35th anniversary ideas, a plant subscription can be the best call. Start by presenting your partner with the initial jade plant, but make sure to mention that there will be a new one arriving every month to care for and cherish. Your collection of plants will grow just as your love has over the years.

2. Coral Makeup Set, Charlotte Tilbury, $128

3. Trip to an Aquarium, Various Prices

For a chance to see some coral up close and personal without having to get wet, plan a fun trip to the aquarium (you’re never too old to watch penguins and otters socialize, trust us).
