You should celebrate your marriage every chance you get. Celebrating your wedding anniversary? Well, that's a no-brainer. Whether you can still hear the church bells ringing or it's been twenty years (or more) since you said "I do," your anniversary is a time to reflect on your past, relish in the present and dream about your future. Not to mention, it's also a moment to shower your sweetie with love. These anniversary gifts for your wife are a thoughtful way to do just that.
There are so many different ways you can go. If you're celebrating your first year of wedded bliss, kickstart the tradition of giving anniversary gifts that bear deeper meanings — paper represents year one, cotton represents year two and so on. But if she's more of the practical type, then opt for an everyday upgrade (Oprah loves Barefoot Dreams robes, just sayin') or a gift experience that you two can enjoy together. From personalized photo gifts and sentimental jewelry pieces to monthly subscription boxes, these anniversary gifts for her are just as sweet as your love.
In this guide, gift ideas are broken up into the following categories: Popular anniversary gifts for your wife | Traditional anniversary gifts by year | Personalized and sentimental anniversary gifts | Experience and subscription gifts
Update, July 1, 2025: We checked that everything on this list is priced correctly and still in stock. We've also added some new anniversary gifts for her, including sparkly Pandora studs, a monthly self-care subscription box and a top-selling Lego bouquet.
Photos of loved ones are priceless, but digital picture frames definitely come at a premium. Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida put all the top frames to the test and this one took top honors since it has a "bright, sharp screen, plenty of local storage and an affordable price."
Orchids symbolize love. And luckily, this LEGO version's love is everlasting. It's a smaller version of the brand's bestselling build, so it has roughly half the number of pieces (274, to be exact) and some reviewers even say it takes less than an hour to complete. A win for the, er, less patient partners!
Sometimes, couples need a little motivation to switch things up. Here's yours: Each card in this deck has a new conversation prompt that fall into one of six categories — relationship, intimacy, life, past, random and about you. "This game was like marriage counseling in a box," one happy shopper raved. "I mean we talked about stuff we never would think to talk about, and we have been married for 18 years!"
I'm just gonna come right out and say it: Heart-shaped jewelry is super cliché. These sparkly studs, on the other hand, are made up of three entwined circles, proving that most things in life are far more beautiful together than apart. Take that for what you will.
Oprah famously called this robe a "baby blanket for adults." Celebrities like Reese Witherspoon and Kourtney Kardashian stand by it, too. So, what's the deal? It's made with ultra-soft microfiber that the brand claims doesn't ever pill or shrink, plus it's machine-washable for easy cleaning. My suggestion: Give one to your wife, so she can have the A-lister treatment right at home.
Your wife knows how you feel, but when's the last time you really told her? Your anniversary is the perfect time to do so. This punny card's got jokes, but it also has tons of heart, too. Write a few lines inside, so it's not just the same old, same old.
The perfect accompaniment for sleep-in Sunday mornings, this expert-tested mug comes with a charging coaster and a spill-resistant lid. Unlike other self-heating mugs (you know the ones), this little guy doesn't come with an accompanying app or Bluetooth. Simply press the buttons to cycle through the three temperatures — Nextmug promises up to 40 minutes of heating on the "piping" setting, 1.2 hours on "hot" and 1.4 hours on "warm."
With love and care, paper can last a lifetime. Commemorate the place you became official with a hand-cut mini map encased in a gold frame to ensure it stands the test of time. All maps are made to order, numbered (1 of 1, of course) and signed by the artist.
We're moving on up, so it's only fair that the second material is a bit stronger than the first. Cotton sheets or towels aren't romantic in the slightest, so you're better off picking up this striped flower carrier (only $10!) and filling it with pretty stems before your special day. And if you really want to earn extra brownie points, make it a weekly or biweekly tradition.
The third year of marriage is linked to leather, which represents safety and security. And since home is wherever you're together, give her a leather passport case to symbolize that very sentiment. This top-rated one from Quince has three interior card pockets and two slots for cash or documents, so she can keep everything together when she travels.
Tradition says that relationships are in full bloom around the four-year mark. That said, now's the best time to show up with an anniversary-worthy arrangement. We named Farmgirl Flowers the best online flower delivery service for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day, so it's a safe bet for all special occasions. Hop Scotch is one of their routine bestsellers — it features 25(ish) seasonal stems in a cool pinks, lavenders, peaches and creamy whites.
It's your wooden anniversary! Why exactly? Well, your roots run deep, and they'll get stronger as the years pass by. Toast your wedding anniversary over this personalized wooden cheeseboard. It even has spots for the included wine glasses to rest, so you won't have to worry about spills when you present her with charcuterie in bed.
Here's a clever way to espresso how much she means to you. Ten years of marriage calls for an aluminum or tin gift, so how about you give her an Italian state of mind with this stovetop espresso maker? Just fill it with water and ground coffee (Bialetti also makes some), then place it on the stovetop and pour your cup after it starts to gurgle. The three-cup version will do the trick if you're each a one-and-done kind of person, but go for a larger size if you both like to sip on something all day long.
Because true love is crystal clear. A Waterford vase is as classic as it gets, but you can up the ante by filling it with a bouquet that looks just like the one she carried on your wedding day.
Apparently, most couples need to replace their wedding china at the 20-year mark. If yours is still in good shape, then give her a new piece that complements what she already has. Glazed stoneware isn't fine china per se, but it's a more affordable way to tap into the tradition. Plus, she can build out this collection over the next 20 years — Anthropologie's top-rated Old Havana Collection has serveware, dishes, bakeware and canisters.
Silver is strong and long-lasting — kind of like your love, no? Splash out on this dainty dazzler and cue the happy tears. Snag one in your kid's birthstone or better yet, go with the bezel-set diamond because, as they say, diamonds are forever. You can't get much better than that!
The only thing better than whispering sweet nothings in her ear? Handing her a book full of 'em. Set aside time to think about your answers before you fill in the blanks since, ya know, she'll have this book forever. No pressure.
Adding a touch of personalization to any gift instantly makes it feel more thoughtful. This monogrammable tray comes in six glossy colors, so you're bound to find one that'll really pop on her nightstand or dresser.
Choose 24 sweet snapshots that best sum up your love. You know the ones — the picture from when you said "I do," the moment you got down on one knee, the silly snap from your dating days, the list goes on. Price varies by size and frame — get the 11" x 11" in a classic frame for just $75.
Love takes you to unexpected places. And since the moment you two locked eyes, you've traveled to new places, moved into new apartments and settled into your forever home (for now, at least). Cartographer Brendan Lorber will challenge you to take a walk down memory lane and sketch a map of your milestones. Virtual classes happen on a monthly cadence, but sign up now to ensure that supplies arrive in time.
She could use a minute — or hey, a whole year — to herself. This monthly subscription box will encourage her to seek out some much-needed R&R. Each month, she’ll receive eight self-care goodies valued at around $200 — ranging from calming candles to nourishing lip masks. The best bang for your buck? A 12-month subscription for just $34.99 per month.
Love is the greatest adventure of all, but that doesn't mean even the most thrill-seeking lovebirds couldn't use a little nudge from time to time. Give her this gift voucher, so she can take the reins and choose their next outing. Maybe it's a food tour in their own backyard or an adrenaline-packed adventure across the pond. She'll get access to 14,600+ activities in more than 100 countries.
