Have you ever wondered how the tradition of giving wedding anniversary gifts began? It is said that the earliest wedding anniversary gifts were silver garlands given by Germanic husbands to their wives on the 25th anniversary.

Around 1875, wood seems to have come into vogue as a 5th wedding anniversary gift.
