25 wedding anniversary gifts for your wife that we love — and she will, too

Broida's a fan, and I'm sure Dad will be, too. "Although the Pexar Lexar doesn't have every bell and whistle, it does deliver what's important: a bright, sharp screen, plenty of local storage and an affordable price," he wrote in his roundup of the best digital picture frames. Send photos to this frame straight from your phone, iCloud or Google Photos before you give it to Dad — or wait until you can show him the ropes.

Is this her first Lego build since childhood? Then go with something a bit smaller, like this mini orchid build. It's just as realistic and customizable as the larger one, but it has just under half the pieces (only 274!). 

"I bought this as a birthday gift for my best friend. She pretty much has a garden in her home so I opted for something a little different," one happy shopper wrote. "The instructions are simple enough for an 8-year-old to assemble. It's cute and worth the price!"

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. 

You know how you can really show your love? Sign her up for a self-care subscription box to encourage her to carve out some time for quality R&R. Each box comes with eight full-size items, ranging from bathtime basics and comforting tea blends to luxe candles that'll help set the mood. Stick with the month-to-month option, or pay for three, six or 12 months upfront. 

Because the best gift experiences are the ones you can share. Let him take the reins by choosing from over 12,000 couples-centric experiences around the world, from a sunset cruise in Hawaii to a whiskey tasting in Nashville. And while he can always stick with something close to home, there's a good chance the thing that catches his eye may inspire a romantic getaway. That wouldn't be so bad, would it?
