If you're celebrating a 35th wedding anniversary with your spouse, that means it's been three and half decades since you said "I do." That's 12,775 days of sickness and health, richer and poor, better or for worse, and everything else you vowed to endure together. And endure you have! What better way to mark such a momentous marital milestone than with a special gift? Whether you're looking for a 35th wedding anniversary gift for your spouse to celebrate all those years of marriage or you want to congratulate a special couple in your life, we've got 35th anniversary gift ideas galore.
What is the traditional 35th Anniversary gift?
The 35th wedding anniversary is known as the coral anniversary, which is fitting as coral is believed to have powers to heal and protect against harm, just like love can. While real coral isn't cool, since coral reefs are an important protected resource in our ecosystem, there are still plenty of great coral gifts that incorporate coral motifs and the gorgeous pinkish hue.
The modern 35th anniversary gift symbol—jade—also offers lots of great gift inspiration too, as does the dazzling 35th wedding anniversary gemstone, the bold emerald. For some reason, there's no anniversary flower designated for the 35th year of marriage, but there are plenty of pretty coral-colored flowers you can turn to if you want to gift blooms. And of course, no one says you have to go with any set theme at all, so we've rounded up some great alternative 35th wedding anniversary gift ideas as well.
