In the UK there are two fabrics associated with your 12th year together: linen is thought to have attributes of purity and truth, while silk is more sensual and its delicate weaving mirrors the way a relationship gets stronger over time.Meanwhile our American cousins are headed for the DIY store to rejuvenate the family home. (And if the living room hasn’t seen a paintbrush in 12 years, it’s high time!)

Flower for 12th Anniversary – Peony
Peonies are voluptuous and beautiful blooms with a great fragrance and impressive size. However they also have anti-inflammatory properties and have featured in Chinese medicine for thousands of years (they even pop the petals in salads, though we wouldn’t suggest trying this without expert advice).

Presents with a flower theme that embraces peonies (e.g an art photo or print, fragrant candles, perfume or room fragrance)
