What Are The 35th Wedding Anniversary Gift Themes?

Before we take a look at our list of 35th wedding anniversary gift ideas, you first need to understand more about the themes that come with this special occasion. Only then can you fully understand why some of the gifts on our list have been included.

This will also make it easier for you to find your own gifts, as you’ll know what sorts of things to look for.

There are four different gift themes to keep in mind when looking for gifts for your 35th wedding anniversary. There’s a traditional theme, a modern theme, a gemstone, and a color. We’ve looked at each one in more detail below!

Traditional Gift Theme: Coral

Coral is the main theme associated with 35 years of marriage. The reason for this is that coral builds over time and gets stronger with age. This is used to symbolize a couple’s growth and strength, which also grows with age.

Coral is also a stone that symbolizes fertility, power, long life, and power.

Modern Gift Theme: Jade

More modern 35th wedding anniversary themes follow the theme of jade. Jade has links to Chinese culture and represents themes of courage, compassion, and wisdom. It also promotes longevity, making it a great gift for a husband or wife.

Gemstone: Emeralds

The gemstone associated with your anniversary is an emerald. Emeralds are stunning green-colored gemstones that are believed to symbolize eloquence, royalty, wit, and foresight. 

More than anything though, this gemstone is bought for its beauty.

Color: Coral

Coral also happens to be the main color theme related to 35 years of marriage. Coral is a pinky-orange color that promotes prosperity and longevity. It is often used in Asian cultures to represent luck and fortune.

35th Wedding Anniversary Gift Ideas Your Partner Will Love

Now you know the themes associated with 35th wedding anniversary gifts, we can start showing you our list of gift ideas. We’ve made sure that we’ve included gift ideas from each theme on our list, so you’ll definitely be able to find something your partner will love.

Let’s get stuck in, shall we?

1. Faux Coral Home Decor

If you’re keen to stick to the traditional theme of coral, the best gift you can buy for your partner is arguably a piece of faux coral. Faux coral comes available in a wide range of shapes and sizes. It looks great in the house and is something that will surprise your partner.

If you want to follow as many themes as possible, look for a coral that is coral in color too.

2. Coral Photo Frame

A wonderfully simple gift idea that follows the tradition of coral is a coral photo frame. The great thing about this gift idea is that you can personalize it in a special way for your spouse.

Put your partner’s favorite wedding photo in the frame or another photo that has a special meaning to you both. Of course, the frame should be pinky-orange in color to stick to the theme.

3. Dive In A Coral Reef

Those of you wanting to push the boat out and splash the cash for your 35th wedding anniversary might want to take your partner diving in a coral reef. This is an awesome gift idea for adventurous couples that travel a lot.

PADI offers diving tours all over the world that will let you explore an array of vibrant coral reefs teeming with life.

4. Coral Cufflinks

A great gift you could buy for the man in your life is a pair of coral-colored cufflinks. These cufflinks are pinky-orange in color and are made from polished silver. This is a good choice if your husband wears shirts and suits on a regular basis.

If you’re not sure he’ll like the color, you could always get him some coral-shaped cufflinks instead.

5. Coral Tie

Next up, we have another easy gift idea that your husband will like. This time, we have a coral-colored tie.

Coral-colored ties are bright pink in color and usually come with a matching handkerchief. The tie we’ve linked also features a blue and green design to go alongside the pink.

Once again, this gift idea suits men that wear shirts, suits, and ties on a regular basis. 

6. Coral Flowers

You can never go wrong with a fresh bunch of flowers on a special occasion. However, not just any bunch of flowers will cut it on such a big occasion as your 35th wedding anniversary.

Instead, this day requires a special bouquet of flowers that follow a coral color theme. Luckily for you, From You Flower has a wide range of high-quality pink and orange colored flowers to choose from.

7. Artificial Coral Flowers

The one downside to buying your spouse a fresh bunch of flowers is that more often than not, they eventually die. If you’d prefer to buy your partner something that will last, you could go with some charming artificial coral-colored flowers.

These artificial pink tulips from Mandy’s store on Amazon are perfect. Your partner will be able to cherish the flowers and remember the day forever.

8. Coral Cushions

These coral cushions found on Etsy are a more unique gift that will probably surprise your partner. They feature a quirky coastal design that features sea life and a heap load of coral.

As you can imagine, the cushions are pink and orange in color. They come in the form of scatter cushions that will look great on your sofa. There are other options on Etsy that follow a coastal theme too, so take a look.

9. Jade Good Fortune Bracelet

Jewelry is another gift idea that’s hard to get wrong. Jewelry is something most of us buy for our partners at some point, so why should we change the habit of a lifetime now?

If you want to buy jewelry for your spouse for your 35th wedding anniversary, make sure it follows tradition. In this case, we have a gorgeous jade bracelet. This particular bracelet comes with high-quality jade gemstones. 

10. Emerald Necklace

We strongly believe that an emerald necklace is one of, if not the best gifts you can buy for your wife. Emerald jewelry looks unbelievably impressive and expensive. It is something that will blow your partner’s mind.

Whilst some emerald necklaces are quite pricey, the one we’ve linked is actually very reasonable. It comes with a gold-colored chain and a stunning teardrop-shaped green emerald pendant.

11. Coral Earrings

Next, we have another jewelry gift idea. This time, the jewelry follows a theme of coral. A great thing about this option is that it is extremely versatile. You will find coral earrings in a huge range of different shapes, sizes, and colors.

The best ones to look out for are earrings that have a coral shape and color. Earrings that have been hand-carved will mean even more to your spouse. 

12. Jade Ring

If you’re looking for a piece of jewelry better suited to your husband, they might like this wooden ring offset with jade. Handcrafted, this ring is a more masculine jewelry gift idea that your husband could wear every day.

What we love most about it is its simplicity. Instead of being overly green, the ring is more subtle and natural looking. This is definitely a gift your husband will love.

13. Coral Prints

This set of four algae prints is one of our favorite gift ideas on this list. Bringing a splash of color to any room, this set of prints is brightly colored, unique, and in keeping with the theme of coral. 

They would fit in perfectly in a monochrome setting and serve as a long-lasting memory of your 35th anniversary. This is also a gift idea that won’t break the bank.

14. Personalized 35th Wedding Anniversary Print

This next gift idea is a good option for anyone that wants something a bit different whilst not deviating from the theme of coral too much.

This personalized print is a simple, yet thoughtful wedding anniversary gift that features a charming tree print and the length of time you’ve been married. Available in pink, the print displays the years, days, hours, and minutes you’ve been together.

What’s not to love?

15. Coral Candle

Is there anything better than settling down for a romantic evening with your favorite foods, a classic film, and a fragrant candle lit? We don’t think so!

With that in mind, you could buy a coral candle for your partner. Pink in color, coral candles look awesome, smell divine, and help create a great atmosphere for the night ahead. 

If we’re being honest, you might need to buy something else too.

16. Coral Wine Bottle Stopper

A quirky gift you can buy for your husband or wife is this entertaining coral wine bottle stopper. This isn’t really a gift you would buy to impress your partner with, but it’s definitely one that will create a laugh and give you a funny story to tell.

Besides, you’ll have to open a new bottle of wine to see if it works and we don’t know about you but that sounds great.

17. Jade Love Birds Sculpture

If you’re looking for a more meaningful, romantic gift for your partner, we recommend taking a close look at this jade love birds sculpture. This sculpture is absolutely gorgeous. It has been handcrafted to perfection.

It features two lovebirds sitting on a rock and kissing. The whole thing is made out of jade. If you want something that will make your partner feel emotional, this is it.

18. Jade Healing Bracelet

This jade healing bracelet is a lovely gift that can be given to men and women. It consists of spherical pieces of jade and is believed to offer healing properties.

Aside from its supposed healing properties and its appropriateness for a 35th wedding anniversary, this bracelet is beautiful. The fact it follows the themes you’re looking for is simply an added bonus.

19. Where It All Began Map

Moving away from traditional gift ideas, one of the best alternative gifts you can buy for your spouse is a where it all began map. 

These personalized maps are unique, memorable, and incredibly thoughtful. They are usually shaped like a heart and feature a map that shows a special location. This might be the first place you met or where you got married.

This gift can be printed in an array of different sizes.

20. Song Lyrics Photo Print

Another amazing alternative gift idea is a personalized song lyric photo print. Shaped like a vinyl record, printed, and framed, this gift lets you personalize the print with the lyrics of your first dance. 

In the middle of the record, you can put a photo that means something special to you. Most of the time, people choose a wedding photo. This gift will be well-received.

21. Customized Chopping Board

If your spouse likes to spend a lot of time in the kitchen making the most amazing food, you could buy a practical anniversary gift with some neat customizations. A great option is this customized chopping board.

This chopping board can be personalized with your names, a love heart, and a special date. This could be when you met, your wedding, or the date of your 35th anniversary.

22. Luxury Faux Fur Blanket

You can’t go wrong with a luxury faux fur blanket. This is the perfect gift for couples that love to snuggle up in front of the TV for the night. Comfy, cozy, super soft, and very luxurious, this faux fur blanket is perfect for relaxing in the evening.

When looking for a blanket, you might also find brands that let you personalize the blanket with a special date or your names.

23. Charitable Donation

If you and your partner are conscious about the planet or struggling communities, you could donate some money to charity in your partner’s name instead of buying a physical present.

This is an extremely thoughtful and important gift idea that will make a difference. To stick to the 35th wedding anniversary themes, you could donate to a charity like WWF which puts lots of effort into the protection of coral reefs around the world.

24. Personalized Toasting Flutes

The penultimate gift idea on this list is a set of personalized toasting flutes. These flutes are a great gift to buy your spouse if you’ve already bought their favorite bottle of Champagne or prosecco. 

The flutes can be personalized with your name and a special date, for example, your wedding date.

25. Song Soundwave Art Print

Your husband or wife will never see this coming. It’s easily one of the most unique gifts we’ve come across. Song soundwave art prints are an interesting invention. They look like simple pieces of artwork, but they actually represent your favorite songs in soundwave form.
