We know that gifts aren’t the most important part of an anniversary, but…we really love a good gift. And we really love giving them, too, because they’re an opportunity to surprise and delight the person you love with a present tailored to their tastes and passions.
“Every anniversary, whether it’s your first or your 50th as a couple, is about hitting your partner right in the feels. The right gift shows your partner that you’re just as obsessed with them as you were when you met,” says Theresa Delaney, owner of gift shop Creative Kind. “The key isn’t necessarily spending the most money—it’s giving something that shows you see them and you celebrate them.”
Theresa recommends looking for items that elevate their everyday routine—are they chefs? Writers? Hikers? A good gift is something they can personally enjoy, not just something that’s popular.
Whether she’s a stylish entrepreneur, supermom or a hiker who loves a glass of wine at the end of the trail, and no matter if you’ve been together for decades or just rounding the corner on year one, we found a range of gifts across every price point. (Hint: you can combine a few of them for an even more deluxe surprise.)
And of course, when putting your gift together, don’t forget the card. “A thoughtful card is a must! It can be sentimental or funny, but must include a handwritten note,” Theresa says.
This minimalist necklace is subtle and sweet, the perfect gift for someone who always looks chic and loves to add dainty touches to her outfits. Available in either 14-karat gold filling or sterling silver, the handmade necklace features two interlinking circles that are a graceful reminder of your enduring love. It can easily be layered with some of her other favorite pieces.
This award-winning French skincare set is designed to smooth skin and fight wrinkles—a welcome addition to her morning and night routine and a chance to explore a new luxury skincare line. The set includes a cream, face serum and anti-aging treatment (along with a bonus scented candle). Founded by a doctor, the brand focuses on ingredients inspired by medical applications.
A great night’s sleep, every night, is a priceless gift. This weighted sleep mask blocks out light and helps dull sounds for a restful, distraction-less sleep. It’s made with Mulberry silk, which is said to have benefits for the skin, and a secure closure ensures it won’t slip off in the middle of the night. Those who like to stay aligned will appreciate the crystals sewn into the mask.
I’ve tried a lot of gluten-free treats, and this cookie collection is what your gluten-free partner has been waiting for. The cookies are made with real eggs and butter by a husband-and-wife duo who were inspired by a family recipe. The company recommends heating the cookies up before eating, but call me a rule breaker: Nibbling on them after they’ve been stored in the refrigerator tastes like indulging in cookie dough. There’s a reason this brand makes the list of our favorite cookie clubs.
A custom-folded book is worth a thousand words. This piece of literary art features their name or favorite word (up to nine characters) folded into a recycled book. Each tome is hand-sourced from thrift stores and used book stores to give it a new life. It’s an incredibly thoughtful gift for your beloved reader or writer, and you can request a specific genre to make it even more personal. This is a wonderful traditional anniversary gift for the paper year, too.
Not your ordinary cup of Joe—this bag of barrel-aged beans may be one of the most delicious coffees I’ve ever tasted. The unroasted beans are stored in barrels previously home to alcoholic spirits, which infuses the coffee with a rich, warm flavor. It’s pricier than your go-to brew, but it’s an indulgent gift for those who take their caffeination seriously (and hopefully they’ll share some with you!). Purchasing it also supports female-run businesses: The coffee is made by a mother-daughter duo, and the barrels are from a women-owned distillery. We’re a big fan of the brand’s coffee subscription, too.
Help her channel her inner Gatsby with these tinted coupe glasses—we can’t think of a better way to serve up gourmet cocktails and bubbly for the two of you or for your friends.

They’re on the larger side, so you can be liberal with your pours, and they look elegant on a bar cart or dining table.
If a full vacation isn’t in the cards right now, these Hawaiian chocolates are a pretty good compromise. This gift bundle includes four varieties of chocolate-covered macadamias, including delicacies like macadamia nuts smothered in caramel and coated in milk chocolate, and macadamias and crisped rice covered in milk chocolate. The brand started in the founder’s attic in Maui and is a sweet taste of paradise at home.
If she’s always bookmarking new recipes, this bestselling cookbook is filled with easy and incredible ideas for her next meal. The cookbook’s premise is that indulgent and Instagram-worthy meals should be quick and simple to prepare, so delicacies like blonde brownie bars and lobster tacos can be a household staple. You can also reference the cookbook for at-home date nights and tackle one of the recipes together.
When there are too many good photos to pick just one, this Wi-Fi connected frame becomes very handy. It shows slideshows of her favorite memories, and she can upload pics and videos through the app for easy updates.

After all, there’s no better way to celebrate an anniversary than with some bubbles. This Veuve and Cheer gift basket pairs a bottle of Veuve Clicquot (an appropriately celebratory treat) with gourmet sweet and savory snacks.

There’s really no treat better suited for a romantic celebration than chocolate-covered strawberries, and these elevate it even further with a layer of creamy caramel and a finish of sea salt.

Unleash her creative spirit this anniversary with a date night paint kit. The set comes with 24 paints, six brushes and your choice of picture of stunning locale.

She can expect everything from dark chocolate with paprika to milk chocolate with coconut and curry masala, a true delight for those with distinguished and creative palates.
There are lots of beautiful wines in the world, but The Prisoner has successfully captivated the hearts of many drinkers. The Napa Valley wine is smooth, velvety and mingles dark fruits with vanilla, easy to enjoy and even easier to drink. It’s price is certainly suited for special occasions, but not outrageously so, and it’s been part of many anniversary celebrations in my family. Our recommendation: Pair it with the chocolate-covered strawberries.

This collection of gourmet Icelandic salts is a reminder of just how good salt is, adding flavor and dimension to a wide variety of dishes.
