What to look for in a 13th-anniversary gift

Not sure where to begin? Start with what’s meaningful to your spouse or you as a couple.  If you’re the traditional type, choosing a gift that’s made of lace is a classic, sentimental way to mark the occasion. The modern 13th-anniversary gift is fur or textiles, symbolizing the warmth of a loving relationship. And finding a gift that’s made of lace but still has meaning for you as a couple, will make it that much more memorable. Regardless of what route you choose, showing your partner how much they mean to you is what counts.
