The second wedding anniversary is traditionally known as the “cotton anniversary,” but for many, the wool anniversary has become a cherished modern milestone - and we can’t think of a better fibre to celebrate with.
Soft, strong, and naturally resilient, wool is a beautiful symbol of comfort and connection. It warms, it supports, it lasts - just like a good relationship should.
And if you’re gifting wool, why not make it merino?
At The Wool Company, we work with 100% traceable New Zealand-grown merino, known for its softness, breathability and quality that truly stands the test of time. Whether you're buying for your partner, your wife, or someone you love deeply, here are 7 wool anniversary gifts she’ll cherish and use for years to come.
If you’re not quite sure on sizing or style, a merino wrap or poncho is an easy win.
These pieces are flattering on everyone, versatile across seasons, and incredibly comfortable to wear. Whether she’s dressing up for dinner or bundling up for the farmers' market, a poncho adds effortless polish with none of the fuss.

Soft, breathable and naturally temperature regulating, merino undergarments and base layers make a thoughtful gift that’s as practical as it is personal.
Think singlets trimmed with lace, pointelle-knit slips, and beautifully made long-sleeve layers designed to be worn under anything - or nothing at all.
If you’re looking for something she’ll live in, these are it!

If your anniversary lands in the cooler months, a matching merino hat, scarf and glove set is both a sweet gesture and a useful one.
Pick a rich seasonal colour (hello, mink and berry!) and let her step out in style without sacrificing warmth. Perfect for everyday wear, weekend getaways, or a surprise winter picnic.

Socks as a gift? Hear us out!
Not all socks are created equal - and ours are made from buttery-soft merino that keeps her feet warm without overheating, holds its shape wash after wash, and comes in patterns and colours that are downright joyful. Plus, if she travels frequently, our health socks are perfect for long-haul journeys!
Slip a pair (or three) into a bag or gift box for a simple surprise that says “I thought of you from the toes up.”

If you know her size, a beautiful merino jersey, cardigan or top makes for a thoughtful gift she’ll treasure. Whether it’s a classic crew, a flattering long-sleeve top, or a cosy knit cardigan, these are the kinds of pieces that become instant favourites - pulled on for everything from school runs to slow Sundays.
They’re easy to dress up, layer over, or wear on their own, and thanks to merino’s natural softness and breathability, they’re just as good indoors as they are out and about.
