What can you give your husband for his 15th wedding anniversary: crystal glassware for alcohol
Let's start our review of gifts for my husband with crystal. This time it is crystal that is a symbol of the holiday and perfectly characterizes the family relationships that have developed for the 15th anniversary. This is not just the name of a wedding anniversary, but a thematic basis on which preparations for the holiday, drawing up a script and, of course, choosing gifts are built.
If you are trying to perfectly adhere to wedding traditions, try to choose a crystal item for your spouse for the 15th wedding anniversary.
Crystal damask
An original bottle for alcoholic drinks will decorate any bar or festive table. Just don’t give this container empty – fill it with your favorite cognac or whiskey.
You can complement such a gift with cubes for cooling drinks, which are able to maintain the required temperature without compromising the quality and strength of the alcohol.
Crystal decanter with glasses
It is advisable to choose a set on hand so that you can serve it effectively. There are sets on sale with original names like “Palace” or “Renome” with thematic patterns or inscriptions.
Crystal jug with glasses
This set will appeal to adherents of a healthy lifestyle. After all, fresh juices, vitamin tinctures, and fruit drinks are much more pleasant to drink from beautiful dishes, even if this ritual is not even festive, but daily.
Crystal beer mug
This gift will especially appeal to collectors and beer lovers. Trite?
Add a keg of live beer or a few cans of quality Czech or German beer. And for a football fan, buy a ticket to the match and put it in a beer glass.
This concludes the topic of glassware for alcohol, although it can be developed endlessly.
After all, there are many options for glasses, glasses, cocktail glasses and other containers for alcohol-containing drinks, which are ideal for preparing an original congratulations to your husband on his 15th wedding anniversary.
Rules for choosing gifts
Follow simple rules:
- Think about the gift in advance - the sooner the better. Don't put off buying a gift until the last minute. You will live in peace, not worry about what to buy, where to run. Very often, the most useless and unnecessary gifts are purchased at the last minutes. Good gifts are those that are thought out and purchased in advance.
- Never give men women's gifts. There is a certain etiquette that regulates the choice of gifts and indicates which gifts should be given to men and which to women. So, no man will be happy if he is given a box of chocolates, even if he loves sweets.
- Try to avoid those gifts that will indicate the educational process. For example, if your spouse smokes, he will not be happy with the nicotine patch. And even after 14 years, for an agate wedding, you should not resort to such options.
- Pack the gift beautifully - then your loved one will be doubly pleased to unwrap it.

It can be a beautiful piece of glass or crystal. And night lamps made of crystal will create original flickering or glare.

Fifteen years - what kind of wedding is this?
A fifteen-year anniversary is a long time. Not all couples can boast that they have maintained their marriage until this anniversary, which is called the beautiful crystal wedding.
Crystal was not chosen as a symbol by chance. It is associated with purity and harmony. The versatility of colors and the play of light emphasize the closeness and multilateral cooperation of the spouses. On the other hand, the material speaks of the fragility of relationships. After all, crystal is not very durable; if you drop a glass, you will no longer be able to assemble it into a single whole.
Reference. The crystal anniversary speaks of the beauty and harmony of life together, emphasizing that “nothing lasts forever under the moon.”
That's why it's so important to take care of relationships. To do this, it is necessary to seek compromises, make concessions to each other, and support feelings. If the spouses managed to maintain the relationship, the celebration of this date should be approached with special attention.
People have been celebrating this round date for centuries. Over this considerable period of time, the anniversary has acquired various traditions:
- When celebrating a special date, both spouses must drink and eat only from dishes made of crystal. It is believed that this will fill the relationship with happiness and prosperity.
- After the end of the event, you must drink wine or champagne from crystal glasses. After this, they should be broken - for good luck.
- A good symbol is the purchase of a new set that needs to be used to serve the holiday table. This symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in the relationship, which will be filled with bright feelings.
- To decorate the table, you must use dishes, a tablecloth, and flowers in white, sand, or beige shades. You should also give preference to outfits made in this color scheme.

After all, it is not necessary to give exclusively things made of glass or crystal for the 15th anniversary in order to please your loved one.
Pleasant and necessary
Every person dreams of something. Guests of the celebration may be able to fulfill the long-standing desires of the spouses on such a significant and wonderful holiday.
Several guests can together give a new TV or a silent vacuum cleaner.
A tablet for work, a leather suitcase for traveling, a car stereo - the best gifts from wedding witnesses.
If you count on a smaller amount, then a high-quality nail care set in a beautiful cosmetic bag will be a pleasant and useful gift for your wife. For a man - a shaving set with a mirror in an original case, a leather wallet, a gift card to a car accessories store.
What not to give
15 years of marriage is a wonderful romantic date, which you want to celebrate with equally wonderful gifts. There are many symbolic gifts for the holiday, and there are plenty of others not related to the crystal-glass history. Of course, the choice here is not limited by anything. However, there are some gift options you should avoid.
First of all, money belongs to this “forbidden” category. The funds, as always, will be spent on household needs, disappearing into nowhere, leaving no trace behind. No impressions, no memories - nothing! Who would like a gift like this?
In addition, gifts that are lowered to a very everyday level seem funny and a little offensive. Such as, for example, household chemicals, socks, shaving foam. Don’t upset the celebrants, choose something more sophisticated and romantic!
