The Royal Shopper
Wedding anniversary gifts inspired by Prince William and the Princess of Wales...
Hello, Royal Shoppers! It’s Leanne here. There’s one major thing we’ve been focused on this week and that was Prince William and Princess of Wales’ 14-year anniversary.
As you’ll have no doubt seen, the royal couple chose to commemorate their anniversary with a return to Scotland’s Isle of Mull, a locale rich with personal history as the place where their relationship began during their university years.
She wore personalised gold necklaces by Daniella Draper, each bearing the initials of their children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis - symbolising the importance of family even in their absence.
Inspired by William and Kate’s approach, I thought I’d do a round up of ideas of meaningful anniversary gifts.
Quite frankly, finding the perfect anniversary gift can be tricky and you may prefer to opt for the typical gift based on how many years you’ve been married (see the list above), but regardless, here are some heartfelt gift ideas that will make their day.

Anniversary gift ideas
1. A card is important - don’t forget!
Sometimes it’s just the little things when it comes to an anniversary gift, and a card is a must. Whether you go for something funny or romantic, make sure whatever you write inside is meaningful.
My top picks:
2. Jewellery - it’s a classic for a reason
A piece of jewellery customised with initials, birthstones, or a significant date can serve as a daily reminder of your bond. For instance, a necklace featuring your children’s initials or a bracelet engraved with the coordinates of a special place.
My top picks:
3. Memory-inspired art & personalised gifts
This is a cute gift idea. There are so many ways to transform a cherished photograph into a piece of art. Whether it’s a hand-drawn sketch, a painted canvas, or a digital illustration. Consider gifts like a personalised photo album, or a bespoke piece of home decor that reflects your shared experiences and milestones
My top picks:
4. Experiential gifts
Plan a getaway to a location that holds sentimental value, much like the royal couple’s return to Scotland. Alternatively, organise a day filled with activities that you both enjoy, creating new memories together.
My top picks:
A romantic weekend trip
Wine tasting
A trip to the spa for a couples massage
A sporty or wellness activity you both love
