The Best Anniversary Gifts for Your Wife
We asked our team to share the best anniversary gifts they’ve received so you can shop for tried and tested presents for the special lady in your life. Personalized jewelry, relaxing vacations and stylish homewares are just some of the gorgeous gifts that caught their eye—and earned their status as a most memorable gift.
We’ve also added plenty of other options below, from custom wall art to luxurious loungewear, to help you snag a nice gift for your wife on your anniversary.
1. Elegant Initial Necklace
A sentimental piece of jewelry is always a good choice—and an anniversary gift that Kim Forrest, Senior Editor at The Knot, endorses. “A few years ago, my husband gifted me a Maya Brenner initial necklace that was customized with our kids’ initials. I love the unique asymmetrical style, and that it’s so delicate and lightweight—I never take it off.” Customize this editor-approved design with your wife’s initials, her birthstone or a cute charm for a special gift on your anniversary.
2. Personalized Anniversary Candle
We’re already huge fans of Birthdate Candles, but did you know they’ve released a new one specifically for wedding anniversaries? This beautifully scented candle features your names, along with astrology, tarot and numerology details from your wedding date on the label. It’s made from natural soy and coconut wax and combines notes of sage, frankincense and oatmoss for an ambient fragrance.
3. Fun Travel Experience
Julie Le Blanc, Digital Editorial Producer at The Knot, says her favorite anniversary gift was a travel experience. “I think the best anniversary gift I ever got was something my husband and I planned together: we bought flights to Birmingham to mark our first wedding anniversary. While there, we went to a cool convention that was part academic conference, part fun con with people dressed up in costumes.” If you want to take inspiration from Julie and plan a fun trip with your wife, we recommend checking out EF Go Ahead Tours. They’ll help you find hotels and flights and build an exciting itinerary so you can visit a new place stress-free.
4. Cotton Weighted Blanket
Make rest, relaxation and enjoying each other’s company the theme for this year of marriage. Start with a weighted blanket for the ultimate cuddling experience and a practical anniversary gift you can both benefit from. The weight on your body stimulates serotonin, reduces cortisol and increases melatonin. Translation: It’ll help the two of you relieve stress, wind down and sleep better (which is probably the best gift of all).
5. Crystal Tennis Bracelet
If you’re wondering what to get your wife for your anniversary, a jewelry gift is a good option—especially if it sparkles. This Swarovski tennis bracelet is made with zirconia crystals and comes in six different colors, so you’re sure to find one that matches her style. Elegant and timeless, it’s a classic accessory your wife will be excited to show off.
6. Luxurious Cotton Bedding
The Knot’s Executive Editor, Lauren Kay, counts luxury bedding as one of the best anniversary gifts she’s ever received. “My husband and I have fun trying to give each other traditional anniversary gifts every year. For our second anniversary, we used a slew of gift cards from our wedding to buy new bedding. The traditional gift for two years is cotton, and by then we had a baby, so all things sleep, including 500 thread count sheets, were top of mind.” If you’re looking for a similar anniversary gift for your wife, we suggest checking out this organic cotton sheet set from Boll & Branch.
7. Two Dozen Red Roses
Flowers—especially red roses—are a classic gift for anyone who loves good old-fashioned romance. Have this gorgeous bouquet shipped to your home as a surprise gift for your wife on your anniversary. If you really want to spoil her, add chocolates and a glass vase so she can display them right away. Bonus: Same-day and next-day delivery services are available if you’ve left your shopping until the last minute.
8. Relaxing Hotel Getaway
Arielle Ballot, Senior Manager of Affiliate & Revenue Operations at The Knot, thinks an experience gift is a great way to celebrate your marriage. “For our paper anniversary, I planned a little getaway, booked flights and wrote the destination on a paper airplane that I added to a card. I didn’t realize that my husband got an email with the flight information, so he booked a nice hotel at our destination and surprised me with an upgraded room. It was really cute and funny when we opened our cards at dinner.” Want to follow suit and book a luxurious hotel break for you and your wife? Check out Tinggly’s Relaxing Stay for Two Experience to nab yourselves the perfect getaway.
9. Stylish Overnight Bag
There’s a lot to love about Béis luggage. Every piece in their collection is well-designed, durable and effortlessly stylish, and the mini Weekender is no exception. Perfect for an overnight stay, it has a built-in laptop sleeve, a large zip pocket, a removable shoulder strap and a separate compartment for shoes. (Clever, right?) If you want to pull out all the stops, whisk her away on a weekend trip so she can use it immediately.
10. Personalized Bottle of Wine
Planning to surprise your wife with a home-cooked dinner for your anniversary? Make the moment even more special with this personalized bottle of wine. It contains a full-bodied California cabernet in a hand-painted bottle etched with up to three lines of custom text. Add your names, a romantic message or even your favorite quote—whatever you decide, this anniversary present for your wife is sure to impress.
11. Sound Wave Art
Turn on your first dance song as you hand over this anniversary present to your wife. This walnut plaque can be engraved with the sound waves of a memorable tune for some seriously sentimental wall art. You can also add your names, anniversary date and the song title to make it even more personal. Just don’t be surprised if she wants to recreate this magical moment all over again in your living room.
12. Nostalgic Anniversary Card
If exchanging anniversary cards is something you do every year, here’s one that’ll definitely earn a spot in your wife’s keepsake box. This oversized greeting card isn’t your average design—it’s actually a personalized chronicle made to look like the front page of a newspaper from your wedding day. With specific details and events from this particular date, it’s a fun way to acknowledge the time that has passed since you said “I do.” You can also add a sweet anniversary quote to the inside for an added touch of customization.
13. Historic Recipe Subscription
Whether your wife is a talented home baker or a history buff (or both), this creative gift will appeal to her interests. This monthly subscription service offers six months or a full year of recipes from renowned historical figures like Rosa Parks and Thomas Jefferson. Each month, your wife will receive a replica of a handwritten recipe, along with a transcript that makes it easier to follow. With everything from homemade pancakes to delicious ice cream in the mix, she’ll have fun learning something new.
14. Music-Inspired Necklace
Looking for a unique anniversary gift for your wife? This stylish bar necklace is guaranteed to grab her attention. Available in silver, gold or rose gold, it’s engraved with the sheet music from a stanza of your chosen song (like your first dance tune or another meaningful track). It’s a sweet way to reminisce on an important moment in your marriage, plus it’s unlikely she’ll have something similar—which sounds like a win-win situation to us!
