Copper is arguably one of the more underrated metals, but it gets its due respect when the seventh wedding anniversary comes around. As with many marriage and wedding-themed gifts, copper symbolizes certain aspects of a relationship. An excellent conductor of heat, copper represents warmth and energy. Like a shiny new penny, the material also signifies luck and good fortune—the best wish for a long and healthy marriage.

Event planner Krista Cornew advises practicality when shopping for a copper-themed gift. “Look for something that can be used frequently, like copper mugs or a piece of copper art,” she says, adding that Etsy is one of her go-to places for these items. It's also important to consider the interests of your partner. Giving them something that you know they'll love and use adds a thoughtful, personalized touch to any gift.

To help you find the perfect copper gift for your spouse, we rounded up some of the best options with these features in mind. Cooking and entertaining tools like fondue sets and fancy cookware mean that there are plenty of ways to spruce up at-home date nights. Or, go for a new pair of kicks or pretty earrings to wear as a symbol of your spouse’s love. And don't forget customized gifts for something extra special.

What to Look for in a Copper Anniversary Gift

Usability

Due to copper's technical properties, functional gifts like cookware or entertaining pieces are ideal. Plus, these are the types of items that you and your partner can use again and again. We especially love the Cuisinart Tri-Ply Copper 10-Piece Cookware Set and the Rainey Lane Design Copper Frame for practical and functional yet thoughtful gifts.

Thoughtfulness

Jewelry, artwork, and personalized gifts are always also excellent choices—such as the Balenciaga Loop Earrings in Gold Copper. Keep in mind that copper changes color over time, especially after being exposed to natural elements. Depending on what you buy, that could enhance its look or ruin it down the road. Just be sure to read the cleaning instructions and handle the gift with care.

FAQ

  • Do I have to buy a copper-themed gift for the seventh wedding anniversary?

    Cornew says there’s no need to stick to traditional wedding themes if you don’t want to. “I believe conventional wedding rules are meant to be broken,” she says. The traditional and modern gift guides for anniversaries are meant as just that—guides that can help but are not necessary. Ultimately, it's best to find something that you know your partner will love and appreciate, whether it falls within the theme or is completely out of the box.

  • What are some other creative ideas for the copper anniversary?

    For a sweet gesture, Cornew suggests taking a handful of copper pennies and making wishes with your partner in a local fountain. You can set intentions for the next seven years of your marriage or reflect on your favorite memories. She adds that another fun way to celebrate is to order drinks in copper mugs (Moscow Mules are traditionally served this way).
