Faux Fur/Textiles Gift Suggestions

Faux Fur

Faux fur or fake fur is made of synthetic fibers manufactured to resemble fur. First used in 1929, faux fur became popular in the 1950’s and its popularity has increased recently as an animal-friendly alternative to real fur because of increased consumer sensitivity to animal rights.

You can find any type of clothing or accessory typically made of real fur to have its faux fur version. Faux fur today is beautiful, warm, and easy to clean and care for. It is also an affordable alternative to real fur clothing.

Fabulous Furs offers faux fur throws, coats, jackets and collars in leopard, fox and beaver fur look-a-likes.

If your partner would like a throw pillows and blankets in soft and warm mink, chinchilla, leopard, cheetah, lynx, coyote, giraffe, or grizzly or polar bear-inspired fur, you can find it all at Overstock. These great, animal-friendly, easy-to-care-for thirteenth anniversary gifts will be enjoyed by you and your partner on cold afternoons and winter nights for years to come.

Does your partner love wildlife, horses or other furry creatures? Choose a thirteenth anniversary gift of a faux fur animal from among hundreds of choices on Wildlife Treasures. My personal favorite is the penguin, but there are many other cute animals including a whole family of moose and many, many rabbits from which to select your thirteenth anniversary gift.

Textiles

Now this is a very broad anniversary gift category and includes any natural or synthetic fibers woven, knitted, pressed or otherwise bonded into fabrics. Textiles include linens and all apparel items, as well as rugs.

Any gift of clothing, sheets, towels, curtains or table cloths would be considered a textile gift.

Rugs make a great textile gift. The Rug Company offers an incredible collection of traditional, contemporary and designer rugs that would make any home more lovely and inviting.

Hollyhock Gift Suggestions

Hollyhocks are popular flowers with large, multicolored blooms that come in purple, red and white. Hollyhocks grow well in sunny locations and are very drought-resistant. However, you are not going to be able to give hollyhock plants or flower arrangements. They just don’t transplant or grow in pots.

To give a hollyhock themed gift you will have to stick with silk flowers or gifts with a hollyhock motif. You can find hollyhock-themed gifts on Zazzle, like flower prints on curtains, postcards, and other items.

Aaron Paul offers handmade hollyhock necklace that was made from 1800’s silverware. See this beautiful piece and his other designs on the Aaron Paul Designs website.

If your partner is a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, the perfect gift is this stained glass replica of the Wright “Hollyhock House” (1917) wall panel. If you do not have the wall space for the hollyhock panel you might consider the hollyhock ornament also found on the website.

Meanwhile, other hollyhock-themed gifts can also be found at Build.com that would make a beautiful thirteenth anniversary gift.

Citrine/Moonstone/Hawk’s Eye Gift Suggestions

You can find citrine gift suggestions on the eleventh anniversary page.

Moonstone

The moonstone is the stone of the goddess Diana and is supposed to possess powers that are particularly strong during a full moon. It is believed that if you give your lover a moonstone necklace when the moon is full your relationship will always have passion. Now that is a powerful gift on any anniversary.

You can find that moonstone necklace as well as earrings and bracelets at Moon Magic.

If your partner meditates he or she would be thrilled with these moonstone meditation spheres found at Nature’s Treasures. You can also find other moonstone items on this site.

Hawk’s Eye

The hawk’s eye is believed to give you insight and perspective. The hawk’s eye is a type of tiger eye stone with a blue/grey color.

You can find beautiful hawk’s eye items on Satin Crystals.

The Celebration

If you want to take a trip and stay within the hollyhock theme, consider visiting the Frank Lloyd Wright Hollyhock House in Burbank California. Meanwhile, if you are thinking more along the lines of giving your partner a moonstone to ensure enduring passion in your relationship, why not a trip to a lodge or remote mountain bed and breakfast? Schedule your trip to coincide with a full moon for a more intimate effect.
