11th Anniversary Gift - Steel

It is traditional to give an 11th anniversary gift of steel in both the USA and Britain. There are many items made from steel and if you browse around your local department store you should get some more inspiration.

We hope these suggestions will help you...

Cutlery

This is often made from stainless steel. Look out for the 18/10 cutlery sets often sold as canteens of cutlery.

Buy your wife a beautiful bouquet of flowers made of steel. They will last the year (at least!) and will make a good talking point for visitors. Take a look at this link to view steel roses suitable for this anniversary.

Buy his and her stainless steel watches. Or maybe just a watch for your partner?

Coffee Mugs

Coffee mugs are available in steel. Some come with a lid so are ideal for the outdoors. Buy a pair to make an ideal 11th anniversary gift.

Steel Glasses

No more broken or chipped glasses. Purchase a set of stainless steel wine glasses. Sure to be a talking point with your friends.

Wine Stopper

Buy a wine stopper and have it engraved with the date of the anniversary. Buy a bottle of wine so the couple are able to use the stopper. Wrap in foil gift wrap and decorate with a large bow.

Steel Sculptures

Made out of nuts and bolts and other unusual shaped pieces of metal, sculptures come in all shapes and sizes. You may wish to buy the person a desk tidy, or maybe a sculpture in the shape of an animal or bird. If the person likes playing snooker you may be able to find one that is a snooker table with two players standing by it.

Steel Wallet

Buy a stainless steel wallet for your spouse. Woven from stainless steel fibers the wallet is as flexible as one made from leather.

These early furnaces which date from 300 B.C. were powered by Monsoon winds. Look out for cutlery that is 18/10 stainless steel. The steel is 18% chromium and 10% nickel.
