Celebrating Your Thirty-fifth Anniversary

The thirty-fifth anniversary is not likely to be celebrated with a big party. However, you and your partner can still enjoy a romantic and memorable day together to remind each other how much you care, and how special your unique and long-lasting love is.

Coral Gift Suggestions

As most people now confront environmental issues like coral depletion, many jewelers just don’t make or buy coral jewelry anymore.

Other than coral jewelry, you could instead arrange a scuba trip to beautiful coral reefs in Mexico, Belize, or Panama. You could enjoy the beauty of coral in its natural setting. All are fairly close, and if you plan ahead, not that expensive. Check out your travel options on TripAdvisor. If you or your partner are not into diving, consider a day trip to a saltwater aquarium and celebrate your anniversary admiring sea life and corals. If you choose an aquarium in a nearby city, you could end your day trip with a romantic dinner, or a staycation in a nice hotel. See Hotels.com to make hotel reservations and other arrangements.

Another eco-friendly alternative to coral jewelry is to go with a thirty-fifth anniversary gift with coral-themed colors. You could easily find a coral-colored sweater or blouse, or a silk coral-themed scarf or shawl. Silk pajamas or sexy coral-colored silk underwear from Victoria’s Secret are also surprising gifts to give. Other items like bath towels, sheet sets, candles or soaps often come in shades of coral.

Jade Gift Suggestions

Jade has been around for over thousands of years and was originally used for making tools, weapons, and ceremonial ornaments. It was believed to bring good luck. Today, jade is used primarily in jewelry. Typically, jade used in jewelry has a rich, emerald-green color. However, jade can also be found in pink, lavender, orange, and brown hues.

Since there are no specific flower suggestions, you can instead go for a beautiful jade houseplant or bonsai tree. Sometimes called the lucky plant or friendship tree, a gift of a jade plant would both fulfill the flower and jade gift ideas. Jade plants are easy to care for, as are evergreen houseplants with fleshy jade green leaves that grow in opposing pairs along the branches. With the right conditions, jade plants will bloom with small white or pink star-like flowers. A well-cared-for jade plant can grow to over ten feet tall. If your partner has a green thumb, a jade plant might be the perfect gift.

Flower Gift Suggestions

Why there is no specific flower associated with thirty-fifth anniversary is a mystery to me, but it does give you the opportunity to be creative. How about ordering thirty-five of his or her favorite flowers to be delivered on your anniversary? If he or she doesn’t have a favorite flower, roses are always a good choice. Flowers to be delivered can be ordered online at FTD.

The Incas and Aztecs found emerald in South America, where most emeralds are still mined today, and regarded it as a holy gemstone. There were emerald mines in Egypt between 3000 and 1500 BC to provide the pharaohs with this gemstone. These Egyptian mines were exhausted before the 19th century.

The Celebration
