Traditional woolen 7th wedding anniversary gifts

Wool is a great material to have as an anniversary symbol. You could buy your husband a designer brand woolen jumper or winter coat. If you're crafty you could even knit a scarf. If your wife loves cashmere, it's a great opportunity to get some really good quality garments. If you prefer something for your house you might like a woolen throw or rug.

You can also get a little creative with ideas for gifts with wool. Why not take a trip away to visit a wool mill, there is one just in Devon, or you could visit the wool museum in Wales. You might like to visit Arran in Scotland and both pick up a nice Arran jumper or scarf.

You could also be a little more abstract and 'pull the wool over your partners eyes' and take them on a surprise night out or even a holiday. Tell them you're going somewhere unimpressive, then let them be blown away by the real trip.

Copper (US) 7th wedding anniversary gifts

Copper jewellery makes an excellent gift choice. You can find some really unusual designer pieces. Copper bottomed pots and pans are also a good idea if you have a chef in the family. Antique home ware made from copper is a great choice for a collector. Other copper ideas could include wind chimes, a door knocker or even a copper telescope.

If you'd like to do something out of the ordinary following the copper theme, then you could visit the Copper Kettle in Tarporley, Cheshire for a delicious Thai meal.
