Luxury silk makes a stylish gift for nearly any occasion.

But a wedding anniversary is truly one of our favorite occasions for giving silk. After all, on a date where a couple celebrates their love and commitment, a gift of silk is a welcome invitation to turn up the romance and luxury. Interestingly enough, silk is also a traditional gift for the 12th wedding anniversary. Silk was chosen as a 12th wedding anniversary because it symbolizes strength and elegance.
Of course, traditional anniversary gifts are just that: a tradition. Modern gift giving need not be constrained by these -- or any -- rules. But our silk makes some of the best anniversary gifts we can think of. Take a look at this list of silk wedding anniversary gift ideas to gather inspiration for your gifting to your spouse, yourselves, or as a special treat for another couple.
Silk: The Gift of Health and Well Being
Silk is unlike any other fabric on Earth. For more than four centuries, silk has been prized for not only its stunning look and feel, but also its unique benefits to beauty and wellness that you won’t find in any other fabric:
- Tames tangles, frizz, and breakage
- Keeps hair and skin naturally moisturized
- Minimizes sleep wrinkles
- Regulates body temperature in all seasons (silk is the ideal fabric for bed linen)
- Resists dust mites and mold
- Protects against allergies and irritation (silk is naturally hypoallergenic)
A silk gift delivers beauty and wellness to its lucky recipient! Even better: all Mulberry Park Silks products come beautifully packaged and ready for gifting in heavy-duty decorative boxes ready to present. Read on for some of our favorite suggestions.
