How to choose an anniversary gift

An anniversary gift is a way to say that you remember what the day means. That can be a shared plan, a photo or a small object with a story, and the best ones refer to something only the two of you know.

If you like tradition, the US custom assigns a material to each year, such as paper for the 1st, wood for the 5th and tin for the 10th. It is a fun starting point, but nobody expects you to follow it exactly.

Use the year as a theme

For a paper anniversary, a fill-in book like What I Love About You or a Then and now anniversary picture frame fits well. For the iron theme of the 6th year, the Anniversary iron sculpture is a direct match. The 24K gold dipped real rose is a nod to the later gold milestones.

Skip the theme if it feels forced. A thoughtful gift for the wrong year still lands.

Give an evening, not an object

After a few years many couples have enough stuff. Try the Date night scratch off book, the Electric chocolate fondue pot set or Let's Get Deep question cards. Set a time, put the phones away and treat it as the real gift.

The Mr and Mrs wine glass set and Kissing cat matching mugs round out a night in.

Make a keepsake together

The Luna Bean and Hula Home hand casting kits give you a sculpture of your hands that you can display. Our Adventure Book is a scrapbook for tickets and photos, which suits couples who travel. If you want jewelry, the Kendra Scott Elisa pendant necklace is a simple everyday piece. Also picking something for Valentine's Day, or a wedding gift for friends? Both lists have ideas, and everything under $50 is in one place.
