Big date and joyful day for the family
Fifteenth anniversary! This is a big date and a joyful day for the family. It is customary to celebrate an anniversary with friends and family, and there should be crystal and glassware on the table. All evening there are congratulations from guests, toasts, beautiful poems, children present hand-made cards, and spouses are given gifts.
On a note:
According to tradition, on this day it is customary to get rid of old chipped dishes in order to avoid the appearance of cracks in the marriage. New crystal or glassware, or some decorative element, is purchased for the home. You can replace the old chandelier with a crystal one, or hang a new glass lamp on the wall. At the end of the celebration, the “newlyweds” break glasses or wine glasses for good luck.
Gift for husband for Crystal Wedding Day
For some reason, a wedding anniversary is most often perceived as a holiday for a woman, for a wife. However, this is not the right approach at all! After all, this holiday is equally important for both spouses. Therefore, we offer you a small list of ideas for a gift for a man on his Wedding Day:
- Crystal glass for alcoholic drinks;
- Set of crystal jug and glasses;
- Crystal beer mug;
- Crystal talisman;
- High-quality wristwatches;
- Picture on glass;
- Crystal checkers in the form of glasses;
- Money box;

Gift for spouses from parents
Parents know a lot about the economic affairs of their children, and therefore have every right to give gifts on their Wedding Day that are useful in everyday life.
If you want to stay true to the tradition of glass and crystal gifts, then you should consider options such as: a vase, a fruit stand, a salad bowl, a candy bowl, a set of glasses/glasses/shot glasses, an unusual glass bottle for drinks, high-quality tableware or symbolic figurines. If the practical side of the issue is more important to you, pay attention to household appliances. A good gift for a family anniversary could be a multicooker, a steamer, an air humidifier, a robot vacuum cleaner, or a powerful blender. If you know that the iron, or dishwasher, or kettle in the child’s home is faulty, you can also present these simple and familiar devices for the home.
In addition, do not forget that emotions and impressions are the best gifts! Therefore, if you have a sufficient budget, you can send your dear married couple on a trip. It would also be great to present a certificate for a joint visit to the spa for both anniversaries. Or simply give a ticket to the theater, cinema, interesting exhibition or concert. The most important thing in such gifts is that the spouses will be able to spend time together, enjoy warm and sincere communication, and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
What should spouses give each other on this joyful day?
Your wife will be pleased to receive jewelry with stones as a gift: a ring with cubic zirconia, earrings with topaz, a bracelet with Swarovski crystals, beads with rock crystal or even diamonds! The point is that the jewelry should contain a precious stone, preferably transparent. But here it all depends on the tastes of the wife.
If your wife has enough jewelry, then give her a crystal box to store it as a gift. Such an unusual gift will please any lover of accessories.
A husband will be pleased to receive cufflinks with mother-of-pearl and onyx, crystal glasses for whiskey or cognac, a crystal chess or checkers set, as well as a crystal accessory to decorate his desk.
If you are going to visit a married couple, then we will make it easier for you to choose a gift by telling us about the most popular gifts for a crystal wedding anniversary.
1. Crystal service
You probably guessed that this is one of the most popular gifts for a crystal wedding! And the choice here is simply huge: a jug with glasses, a vase for fruit, sweets or jam, a salad bowl, crystal wine glasses, a set of plates, a decanter with glasses, an oil dish, a napkin holder, an ashtray, and saucers. Crystal tableware is very strong compared to glass and is durable. Such dishes can serve for many years and even centuries. With proper care, it will remain transparent and noble.
2. Glassware
Compared to crystal, glassware is much more affordable, although it does not have the same strength, but it is still durable and does not require constant care like crystal dishes, and modern technologies allow us to produce glassware in a variety of designs!
Here are just some examples of such tableware: tea sets, wine glasses and glasses, decanters, salad bowls, heat-resistant pans and baking dishes. The choice is very large!
3. Crystal vase
Another very popular gift! It was once believed that every home should have at least one crystal vase. A chic bouquet of flowers in this vase will definitely increase the delight and impression of the gift.
Gift to parents from children
Children whose parents are preparing to celebrate the 15th anniversary of marriage are usually not yet able to earn serious amounts of money, and therefore their budget for gifts for a family anniversary is quite limited. But there is no need to despair because of this state of affairs, because we have enough gift ideas that will not require unnecessarily high costs:
- Paired glass figurines;
- Crystal vase with flowers;
- Painted plate;
- Gift sets made of glass with interesting engraving;
- Portrait of parents;
- Collage of memorable photographs;
- Video clip of happy family scenes;
- Homemade cake or pie;
- A poem or congratulation written from the heart;
- Organization of a family holiday (cleanliness of the house, themed decoration, festive dinner).
Crystal Jubilee Traditions
Why is this date called crystal? Because even after so many years of living together, the marriage union can break up. Previously, the fifteenth anniversary was called glass and only recently was renamed crystal. One awkward move or carelessness can lead to breakage of a fragile item.

How do you celebrate your crystal wedding or 15th anniversary of marriage? This can be done in different ways:
- arrange a celebration at home;
- spend a day alone with your loved one;
- arrange a special dinner at a restaurant.
An anniversary at home has its own charm. You can just have a family dinner with children and parents, or you can just be alone with each other. If children live with you, then the family traditions of the parents will become their family traditions. Parents always set an example for their children with their behavior and attitude towards each other. The future of children, their married life, begins in the parental marital relationship.
The table should be set with crystal and glassware; the festive dinner menu should include crispy dishes. This could be crispy baked chicken, potato chips, pickles and sauerkraut. For dessert, you can offer crispy corn flakes and sticks.
A romantic 15th wedding anniversary, as they say, crystal or glass, can be spent in privacy from everyone or in a cozy restaurant or cafe. Walk through memorable places, remember first dates, be filled with the charm of first kisses - these moments should be carefully preserved in memory, like a treasure.
If you decide to invite your friends and colleagues to the celebration, you can throw a party in a restaurant. But this is not at all necessary if the soul is disposed to solitude and enjoy communicating with each other without strangers. If finances allow, you can take a short trip to romantic places or go on a cruise on a ship.
Gift for 15 years of marriage from friends
