Anniversary Gifts

A well-chosen anniversary gift acknowledges both the milestone and the specific pairing it celebrates, and our luxury anniversary edit covers glassware, ceramics, candle pairs, framed prints and hand-bound photo albums. Pieces that suit both recipients, rather than obviously favouring one over the other, consistently work best. Every item arrives in Heal's-branded packaging.

    Traditional anniversary materials run year by year, with paper for the first, cotton for the second, leather for the third and wood for the fifth, escalating through to gold at 50 and diamond at 60. Modern interpretations have loosened these strictly, but they remain useful as inspiration. Matching the material to the year adds meaning to the gift.

    Anniversary gifts that work for both recipients consistently land better than those obviously favouring one, especially when the gift is for their home together. Table items, decorative objects and shared experiences sit in this space well. Individual gifts for each partner work better as additions rather than replacements.

    Milestone anniversaries warrant something with lasting presence, like a framed custom photograph, a hand-thrown ceramic pair or a piece of art they'd have chosen together. Practical but beautiful objects (a decanter set, a pair of armchairs, a piece of lighting) tend to be used and remembered for years. Generic luxury objects are less memorable.

    Delivery dates can be scheduled at checkout for most items, subject to availability. For made-to-order pieces with longer lead times, ordering well in advance is essential. Our customer service team can confirm exact delivery windows for specific orders if timing is critical.

      Housewarming Gift Ideas
      Unless you’ve been sent a wish list or a specific request, buying a housewarming present can be a difficult feat. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of our favourite, most thoughtful housewarming gift ideas. An important thing to remember is that you aren’t shopping for yourself. Always consider the style of the new homeowner and if they would prefer something more traditional. If you do choose for something with a more traditional aesthetic, don’t be afraid to go vintage. Scour your local antiques shop and see if anything catches your eye. This way, you may be able to find something that suits their tastes perfectly. Housewarming gifts for couples Moving house is all about new beginnings, so why not choose housewarming gift ideas that help them to settle in. Something like a bulb planter is a great idea. That way they can track their plant’s progress by how long they’ve been living there. Another nice gift to give is a candle or room diffuser. A fresh scent in a new home will make it feel more inviting and add a touch of personality to a space. Especially considering they may not have fully unpacked yet. If you know what candles they prefer, then err or on the safe side as scents are hugely personal. If you’re taking a wild guess, then we advise keeping it fresh and light. Deeper, muskier fragrances tend to be a bit like marmite. Urban Apothecary creates sophisticated home fragrances inspired by memories, places and moments, translating them into beautifully balanced scents that enrich everyday living. From elegant candles to reed diffusers, each piece makes a thoughtful housewarming gift, helping couples create a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment they move in. Alongside its considered approach to fragrance, the brand is committed to continually improving its manufacturing processes and sustainable practices to reduce its impact on the environment. Discover Urban Apothecary home fragrances here. For couples who embrace bold colour and playful design, Block Design offers homeware that's anything but ordinary. From sculptural vases and vibrant glassware to contemporary jugs and candle holders, each piece brings a fresh perspective to everyday living. Designed to stand out while remaining beautifully functional, these colourful accents make thoughtful housewarming gifts that help transform a new house into a home full of personality. Discover the Block Design collection here. Practical housewarming gifts Practical housewarming gifts are often the ones that are used and appreciated every day. Beautiful tableware is a thoughtful choice, giving couples the opportunity to build a collection they'll enjoy for years to come, whether it's for everyday meals or hosting friends and family. Broste Copenhagen's Nordic Sea and Nordic Sand collections are ideal examples. Crafted from stoneware with distinctive reactive glazes, every piece has its own unique finish, bringing character and warmth to the table. Inspired by the colours of the Nordic coastline, Nordic Sea features rich blue-grey tones, while Nordic Sand offers a softer, neutral palette. Designed to mix, match and layer, both collections make timeless housewarming gifts that are as practical as they are beautiful. Discover Broste Copenhagen tableware here. For something with a more exclusive feel, the Heal's x Surrey Ceramics collection celebrates British craftsmanship through timeless, everyday tableware. Handmade in Surrey using traditional techniques, each piece is finished with a distinctive glaze that gives every plate, bowl and mug its own unique character. Designed to be mixed, matched and enjoyed daily, the collection is perfect for couples creating a home centred around shared meals and relaxed entertaining. Beautifully made and built to last, it's a thoughtful housewarming gift that will become part of everyday rituals for years to come. Discover the exclusive collaboration here. Traditional housewarming gifts Traditional housewarming gifts were chosen to symbolise comfort and prosperity, with bread, wine and coal offered to wish a household lasting food, drink and warmth. Today, these thoughtful gestures can be reimagined with a more contemporary approach. Instead of a bottle of wine, consider a beautifully crafted decanter or elegant set of glassware that can be enjoyed for years to come. Pair it with their favourite vintage for an extra-special gift, or take inspiration from tradition with a handcrafted bread board, artisan serving pieces or a sculptural candle and holder to bring warmth and atmosphere to their new home. Whether they're celebrating their first dinner party or simply enjoying a quiet evening together, Georg Jensen's glassware makes a sophisticated housewarming gift. Founded in Copenhagen in 1904, the Danish design house has become renowned for combining exceptional craftsmanship with timeless, functional design. From elegant champagne flutes to beautifully balanced wine and cocktail glasses, each piece reflects the brand's enduring Scandinavian aesthetic, bringing a sense of occasion to everyday moments and celebrations alike. Discover the Georg Jensen collection here. Housewarming gifts for first homes If this is their first home, then it can be quite difficult to judge someone’s style. So, when choosing housewarming gifts for first homes, we advise selecting something that isn’t too out there. Keep it simple and buy them something they’ll need but may not be at the top of their priority list. Think a vase, wine glasses or some nice serving bowls. Of course, if you know the new homeowner well, then it may be easier to predict their style. In this case, you could opt for something a little more exciting, like wall art or a throw. Housewarming gifts ideas for design lovers For couples with an eye for contemporary design, HAY offers everyday objects with a playful twist. Believing that good design should be accessible to everyone, the Danish brand collaborates with leading designers to create pieces that combine colour, functionality and timeless appeal. The Flare Candle Holder brings sculptural form and a warm glow to a dining table or mantelpiece, while the Tint Glasses add a subtle pop of colour to everyday dining and entertaining. Thoughtful, practical and beautifully designed, they're gifts that will become part of daily life in a new home. Discover the HAY collection here. For those looking to give an iconic design piece, &Tradition's lighting collection offers a thoughtful balance of heritage and innovation. Working with renowned designers including Verner Panton, Arne Jacobsen and Jaime Hayon, the Danish design house creates enduring pieces that are made to be lived with and enjoyed. The Flowerpot VP9 Portable Table Lamp, designed by Verner Panton, is one of the brand's most recognisable designs.

      Meet the Designer: Matthew Hilton and His Modern British Design Icons
      One of the most influential names in contemporary British furniture, Matthew Hilton has spent decades creating pieces that balance modern design with an enduring sense of familiarity. From sculptural armchairs and beautifully proportioned sofas to dining tables and outdoor furniture, his work is defined by thoughtful details, exceptional craftsmanship and forms designed to stand the test of time. Discover the story behind Matthew Hilton and some of his most recognisable furniture designs. Who is Matthew Hilton? Matthew Hilton is a British furniture and industrial designer whose career spans more than four decades. His work came to prominence during an exciting period for British design in the 1980s, when a new generation of designers began rethinking the relationship between traditional furniture making and contemporary living. Hilton established an early relationship with British furniture brand SCP, which first produced his work in 1986. The partnership has continued for decades and resulted in some of his most recognisable pieces. Rather than following passing trends, Hilton’s approach centres on proportion, materials, comfort and function. The result is furniture with a distinctive character that nevertheless feels at home across a wide range of interiors. A defining collaboration with SCP Matthew Hilton’s relationship with SCP has played an important role in both his career and the development of contemporary British furniture. One of the partnership’s defining moments arrived in 1991 with the launch of the Balzac Armchair. As SCP’s first upholstered furniture design, the chair took more than two years to develop with a traditional upholstery maker in Norfolk. The collaboration has continued well beyond Balzac, with Hilton designing furniture spanning upholstery, tables and occasional pieces. His designs demonstrate a consistent ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with a distinctly contemporary point of view. The Balzac Armchair: a modern British classic Few pieces demonstrate Hilton’s approach quite like the Balzac Armchair. Introduced in 1991, its generously curved silhouette offers a contemporary interpretation of the traditional club chair. With a deep seat, sweeping arms and distinctive proportions, Balzac brings together sculptural form and inviting comfort. More than three decades after its introduction, the chair remains in production - testament to Hilton’s ability to create furniture that transcends passing trends. At Heal’s, the Balzac is handmade in Norfolk, with its distinctive silhouette built around a solid beech frame and finished with American oak feet. Discover the Balzac Armchair Meet the Oscar collection Designed by Matthew Hilton for SCP in 2009, the Oscar collection brings together modern simplicity and traditional upholstery in Hilton’s characteristically understated style. Long, clean lines are softened by gentle curves and beautifully considered proportions, creating furniture that feels refined without appearing overly formal. Each piece is made by skilled craftspeople in Norfolk using natural and responsibly sourced materials, reflecting Hilton’s emphasis on quality, longevity and considered construction. At Heal’s, the Oscar collection includes sofas, armchairs and the bed, bringing the same restrained design language across living and bedroom spaces. From its elegantly turned legs to its carefully tailored upholstery, each piece demonstrates Hilton’s ability to create furniture that feels contemporary yet enduring. Discover the Oscar collection The Cross Extending Dining Table Hilton’s considered approach to furniture design can also be seen in the Cross Extending Dining Table, designed for Case. Combining practical functionality with a strong architectural form, the table demonstrates how Hilton can make even highly functional furniture feel beautifully resolved. Its solid timber construction and distinctive crossed-leg base give the design a confident presence, while the extending tabletop allows it to adapt easily from everyday dining to larger gatherings. Available at Heal’s in a choice of finishes, the Cross Extending Dining Table demonstrates Hilton’s belief that practical furniture needn’t compromise on considered design. Discover the Cross Extending Dining Table Step outside with the Eos collection Hilton’s design philosophy moves seamlessly outdoors with the Eos collection for Case. Created as a family of simple, functional and hard-wearing outdoor furniture, the collection uses powder-coated aluminium to achieve lightweight, clean-lined silhouettes. At Heal’s, the Eos collection spans outdoor dining tables, chairs and benches alongside coffee and side tables, making it possible to carry the same understated aesthetic throughout an outdoor space. Designed with both practicality and longevity in mind, Eos is another example of Hilton’s ability to strip furniture back to its essential elements without sacrificing character. Discover the Eos collection Matthew Hilton and Heal’s Hilton’s connection with Heal’s extends beyond the furniture available in our collections. In 2018, he created his debut lighting collection exclusively for Heal’s, translating the minimalist character of his furniture into the Dome and Orb pendants. His influence can also be found within our Tottenham Court Road flagship itself. Visitors to the store can encounter a staircase designed by Matthew Hilton, bringing his approach to form and materials into the architecture of one of London’s most historic design destinations. It’s a relationship that reflects a shared appreciation for considered contemporary design, craftsmanship and furniture created with longevity in mind. Designed to last While Matthew Hilton’s portfolio encompasses everything from upholstered armchairs to dining and outdoor furniture, a consistent philosophy runs through his work. Materials, construction, proportion and function are treated as fundamental parts of the design. Rather than relying on decoration or passing trends, Hilton allows the quality of the materials and the strength of each form to take centre stage. It’s an approach that has helped designs such as Balzac remain relevant decades after they were first introduced, while newer collections continue the same emphasis on considered, long-lasting furniture. Discover Matthew Hilton at Heal’s From the unmistakable curves of the Balzac Armchair and refined upholstery of the Oscar collection to the architectural Cross Extending Dining Table and pared-back Eos outdoor collection, Matthew Hilton’s work demonstrates the breadth of his approach to contemporary furniture.
