More myths and dark superstitions surround the seventh anniversary year than any other. Even the big screen has paid tribute to her – think of Marilyn Monroe in the 1955 blockbuster ‘The Seven-Year Itch.’ While you may have had a roller coaster ride so far, all those good-natured jokes from your friends are sending a hint of alarm down your spine. Yes, we are talking about the infamous seven year itch!

As the seventh anniversary approaches, is your wife secretly wondering if she will end up as the next statistic in the crumbling marriage market? Does even an innocent glance at a pretty woman you pass by on the street find her eyes impaling you with a penetrating gaze? Wow, it’s time to assuage all those unspoken and unspoken fears and doubts! Exceed yourself (and exceed her expectations) – gift her a 7th wedding anniversary gift like no other!

Choose the gifts you want: exotic and luxurious, inexpensive but thoughtful, or downright sensual and even naughty. Each gift says a lot about your feelings for your wife. Here are some gift ideas specially selected for you.

  1. Copper Gifts – Copper signifies prosperity and good fortune and is traditionally associated with the seventh year. If left unattended, copper looks dull and old. But, a vigorous polish soon recovers its burnished shine. (A lesson here?) The market is awash with copper-themed items. If she loves original jewelry, gift her delicately crafted copper bracelets in a variety of designs. You can even go for copper photo frames that have some mind-blowing close-ups of the two of you.
  2. Woolen Scarves and Sweaters – Along with copper, wool is also the traditional 7th anniversary gift, representing warmth, durability, and safety. The kind shared by couples who have been married for so long. If your anniversary falls in the winter months, then splurge on some high-quality wool scarves and cardigans that will keep you cozy and warm when you’re not around for a little darling. And guess what, some really cool wool jewelry is very ‘in’ too! Wool jewelry is all the rage now, inexpensive and eco-friendly to begin with.
  3. Desktop Games: If traditional stuff isn’t your thing, go modern hard with desktop games. This would also make a great gift for someone who works from home and desperately needs something to organize all that chaos. Desk sets can be deep, rich wood (mahogany, walnut, rosewood), contemporary aluminum, or the all-time classic leather (if you have the money to splurge).
  4. A Bouquet of Jack’s Flowers in the Pulpit – Unusual but beautiful – just like her – flowers are a man’s best ally when it comes to courting a woman. Even if she’s mad at you, she can’t stay upset for long when she’s faced with a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Your best bet for the seventh year is a bouquet of Jack-in-the-pulpit flowers, this year’s traditional flowers.
  5. Onyx and Lapis Lazuli Jewelry – As with all anniversary years, the seventh year also has certain gemstones associated with it. Jewelry never fails to impress a woman with its inherent intimate connotations. Stun her with some exquisite onyx and lapis lazuli necklaces, pendants, rings, earrings or bracelets and her smile of joy will keep you in her warm embrace for a long time …
  6. Facilitate romance in the relationship: Over time, the two of you have settled into a cozy and comfortable routine. That is unavoidable, of course. But did the romance stand on tiptoe one day quietly and you couldn’t even hear it? Has your sexy lingerie from previous years given way to comfortable cotton pajamas while you, most of the time, skip the shave from time to time? Now is the perfect reason to plan a little getaway, such as a weekend getaway. Take the children to Grandma’s house and organize every little detail. Trust me, half the fun is planning and anticipating.
  7. Pamper her foolishly: If you’re a working mom juggling a demanding career, growing kids, and housework, you probably have very little “me time.” This is where it steps in to do its bit. Bathe it with top-notch bath and body products that promise to bring the spa experience home. Better yet, book both of you at a spa that also offers couples treatments. This means your own private room, with softly lit scented candles, scattered flowers in the bathroom, and a quiet environment. All those massages and pampering are so relaxing! The stage is set for a lustful and wet jungle passion when you two get home!
  8. The element of surprise: If your anniversary falls on a weekday and she’s working, then it’s up to you to take a day or afternoon off (it’ll be worth it, it’s a promise!) And plan a jaw-dropping surprise. feet. Prepare a romantic meal of your favorite dishes, place a large bouquet of Jack-in-the-pulpit flowers on the table, dim the lighting and softly play your song in the background. When she returns, gallantly grab her bags, take her to the couch, and massage her neck and shoulders. Even while you’re digesting it all, take out the jewel in the crown – your gift (see the list above). I’m sure you can take care of the rest …

So the next time someone jokes, ‘You’re heading to the seven-year itch,’ just turn around and say, ‘Sure, but I know how to deal with it!’
