What is the traditional 25th wedding anniversary gift?

The 25th wedding anniversary is also known as the silver anniversary. The origin is thought to have been the Romans, who would give their wives a silver wreath after being married for 25 years (an exceptional feat back in the day). It’s likely that these silver wreaths weren’t made of real silver but organic materials with touches of white or silver in them. This tradition continued for centuries and eventually made it to Germanic Europe.

At some point, silver metal became the norm and wives were presented with silver rings or other jewellery or home decoration made from the precious metal after 25 years of marriage. But it wasn’t until the 1920s that it was made the official theme for 25th wedding anniversary gifts.
