You've made it eight whole years! First, congrats! Second, what are you getting your spouse? Not to get all serious and un-celebratory here, but if you're fresh out of gift ideas for your 8th anniversary (which is understandable, FYI), then let me help a lovebird out with some sweet suggestions—especially if you're choosing to go the traditionally-themed route.
What do we mean by traditionally-themed route? TL;DR, gifts for wedding anniversaries tend to have a theme. And the traditional theme for an 8th anniversary happens to be bronze (to represent strength and beauty) and pottery (to represent a handcrafted work of art—aww!). Additionally, the modern theme for an 8th-anniversary gift is lace and linen, which both represent durability, craftsmanship, and the fact that you two are woven together (I'm not crying, I just have, like, allergies, or something).
Whether you think your love would prefer a traditionally-themed gift or a more modern take, Cosmo's here with 15 romantic wedding anniversary gifts that are sure to celebrate your union perfectly.
