The perfect anniversary gift – Alessi lovebirds

Allessi Birds of Paradise

Stumped as to what to buy my lovely wife as a seventh wedding anniversary gift, I consulted one of many lists available online for guidance. Apparently, traditionally, in year seven one should buy one’s better half something made from wool (presumably the source of the term ‘seven year itch’) whilst the modern day alternative is a Desk Set ( I kid ye not..!)

Uninspired by the idea of knitting Sarah a handy desk tidy (inexplicably, there isn’t a range of desk accessories derived from wool in my local Ryman stationers – a possible gap in the market there Theo… I’m thinking ‘Eco-Executive’..!) I decided to hot-foot it to my favourite designer homewares emporium.

Suspecting that my wife harbours a secret admiration for dining table accessories on an avian theme and flouting accepted wedding anniversary gift ettiquette, I settled on this Birds of Paradise salt and pepper set from Alessi.
