If you want to buy a wedding anniversary gift, then we’ve got you covered. This guide lists six of the best silk anniversary gifts for him - or for her!

Before you shop, it’s worth knowing how many years of marriage correspond with which materials. Your first anniversary, for example, is associated with paper, the third leather, and the fifth wood. When you’re ten years wedded, tradition dictates that you should give aluminium, and steel the following year.

Though a 12 year anniversary may not seem the most significant milestone, it’s one of the best when it comes to gorgeous gifts. This is because sleek, sensuous silk is associated with enjoying wedded bliss for a dozen years!

Whether you’re wondering what to get your husband for your anniversary or are in need of a special present for your wife, read on to discover the ideal silk anniversary gift for her or him.

The benefit of wearing a silk eye mask while he sleeps is that he’s likely to enjoy a deeper, more satisfying night’s rest. Every night. Popping on the eye mask tells his brain that it’s time for bed, and as it blocks out light his body will soon be pumping out those hormones that will send him off to the land of nod.

Silk eye masks are also great for travel. If he likes to grab some shut-eye during a flight for business or pleasure, this is the ideal gift he can use at home or away.

A silk gift box for him

Spoil him even more by buying a silk gift box. These contain other goodies as well as a silk pillowcase, such as delicious Hotel Chocolat sweet treats or artisan gin. You can also buy him a gift box containing both a pillowcase and an eye mask, or order a boxed pillowcase for that extra-special present.
