The 16 Best Copper Anniversary Gifts for Your Seventh Anniversary (and Beyond)

Copper is arguably one of the more underrated metals, but it gets its due respect when the seventh wedding anniversary comes around. As with many marriage and wedding-themed gifts, copper symbolizes certain relationship aspects. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat and represents warmth and energy. Like a shiny new penny, the material also signifies luck and good fortune—the best wish for a long and healthy marriage.

Event planner Krista Logue advises practicality when shopping for a copper-themed seventh-anniversary gift. "Look for something that can be used frequently, like copper mugs or a piece of copper art," she says, adding that Etsy is one of her go-to places for these items. It's also important to consider the interests of your partner. Giving them something you know they'll love and use adds a thoughtful, personalized touch to any gift.

What to Look for in a Copper Anniversary Gift

• Use: Due to copper's technical properties, functional gifts like cookware or entertaining pieces are ideal. Plus, these are the types of items that you and your partner can use again and again.
• Thoughtfulness: Jewelry, artwork, and personalized gifts are always also excellent choices for copper anniversary gifts. Keep in mind that copper changes color over time, especially after being exposed to natural elements. Depending on what you buy, that could enhance its look or ruin it down the road. Just be sure to read the cleaning instructions and handle the gift with care.
