Anniversary gift ideas for her
Every anniversary marks a chapter in your shared story, and the best gifts capture that moment – simple, meaningful, and unmistakably hers.
Jewellery is a forever favourite, but the magic is in the details: a slim gold band etched with your anniversary date, a birthstone necklace with personal significance, or delicate pieces that feel quietly special.
Pick a perfume that’s warm and inviting, a scent that feels like her but adds a fresh twist. Or why not choose new pieces for her wardrobe? Think a cashmere set, a versatile silk slip, or a tailored blazer she’ll reach for time and again.
Finally, personalised touches seal the sentiment. Think monogrammed leather purses, a custom print of where you met, or an M&S gift card – beautifully wrapped or sent straight to her inbox – so she can choose something she truly loves.

Anniversary gift ideas for him
When it comes to anniversary gift ideas for your husband, it’s less about grand gestures and more about getting the details right. Think elevated essentials – pieces that feel refined, personal, and built to last.
Start with accessories: a leather cardholder, an updated watch, or sunglasses that hit the sweet spot between classic and cool. For a more elevated take, opt for premium knitwear – think merino or cashmere in easy, understated tones. Or take the tactile route with a grooming set, including a quality razor, a rich moisturiser, or a signature scent that subtly switches things up.
Whether you’re one year in or decades deep, the best anniversary gift for your husband is one that feels thoughtful – and reminds him you still know him best.

Early milestones: 1st, 5th and 10th year gift ideas
Early milestones deserve more than a last-minute gesture – these are the anniversaries that set the tone for everything still to come.
Year one is the paper anniversary – light, full of promise, and all about beginnings. Paper anniversary gift ideas might include a personalised diary, or a custom print that captures the start of your story.
At five years, it’s wood – solid, grounding, and a reminder of how far you’ve grown together. Think a handcrafted frame, or a set of wooden serving boards for slow weekend breakfasts and shared dinners.
Ten years in, and it’s tin – flexible, resilient, and quietly enduring. Tin anniversary gift ideas can include a limited-edition tin of their favourite tea or coffee, a brushed metal bracelet, or a cufflink set that strikes the perfect balance between timeless and personal.
Whether you’re looking for one year anniversary gift ideas or marking a decade, meaningful gifts that speak to your journey make the greatest impact.

Celebrating big: 20th and 25th gift ideas
At twenty years, tradition calls for china – delicate in name but quietly resilient. This is about elevating the everyday: ceramic pasta bowls in muted tones, hand-glazed mugs that turn simple rituals into something special, or a sculptural serving dish designed for dinners worth savouring.
Twenty-five years is marked by silver – cool, classic, and elegantly understated. Think sculptural silver jewellery, engraved cufflinks, or a polished photo frame with a favourite moment inside.
These moments aren’t just milestones, they’re a celebration of everything you’ve created together, captured in gifts as timeless and thoughtfully curated as your story.
