33 of the Best Opal & Music 24th Wedding Anniversary Gifts
The themes you have to work with for your 24th wedding anniversary are both fun and beautiful in equal measure. From precious gems to gifts that will have you rocking around the living room, here's our pick of the best 24th wedding anniversary gifts
Congratulations on your 24th wedding anniversary! You're just a year away from the big silver wedding anniversary and some seriously special celebrations.
But before we go getting ahead of ourselves, let's focus on your 24th. As you'll know by now, each wedding anniversary comes with a theme and gifts are often given based on that theme. While some themes are a little trickier to work with than others, we think the traditional 24th wedding anniversary theme of opal is a lovely starting point to work with. In fact, when we began our search we didn't realise quite how many gorgeous opalescent items there were out there.
If you're not feeling the opal anniversary ideas, don't sweat it. The 24th wedding anniversary also has a modern theme: musical instruments. While we get you may not be rushing off to buy your other half a piano when they've never so much as picked up a piece of sheet music, you might fancy livening up their favourite Spotify playlists with one of the fanciest speakers on the market, or giving them the means to play their vinyl collection.
Whichever theme you go with, we reckon your spouse will love the personal picks below to celebrate 24 years of marriage!
