29 Best Anniversary Gifts by Year in 2025

Album since the wedding

The last time you made a photo album together may have been your wedding. If that’s the case, commemorate your time together since taking your vows with the red-fabric-covered Printique The Love Book. The 8-by-8-inch book features a die-cut window in the front for a cover photo and can include a max of 100 thick pages. You can choose how many photos go into each spread using the site’s designing module. Sorting through years—be they a few or many decades—of treasured memories may even feel like a gift to yourself as you weave your selections into a narrative of your journey together.

Sexy times

Spice things up with OMG Yes online sex tutorials. The research-based videos are based on a large-scale study of women’s pleasure with 20,000 subjects in partnership with researchers from Yale University, the Kinsey Institute, and Indiana University. The site offers two packages: the Essentials, with 60-plus videos, or the Essentials + Explore More, with 300-plus videos. Unlike the financial commitment of a subscription, each package is offered for a one-time payment.

Love journal

Relationships take care and nurturing and this 3-year journal encourages you and your beloved to look at yours in a loving and playful way. Each page includes a prompt for a one-sentence answer meant to be completed by you and your partner separately each year on the same date. Some prompts, like “Write down one thing you never want your partner to change” are specific to your bond, others, like “What news stories are you following right now?” help keep track of time and what you’ve been through together. Once completed it’s the ultimate relationship keepsake.

Classic coupes

Every couple needs a set of high-quality cocktail glasses, both for entertaining and relaxing at home. Versatile coupes are the shape of choice for iceless cocktails both shaken (daiquiri, aviation, gin sour) and stirred (martini, Manhattan, Negroni). And they’re also perfect for sparkling wines on a quick-drinking occasion (the bubbles will dissipate more quickly than in a wine glass). The leggy Bormioli Rocco Italian Coupe Glasses—produced by a venerated Italian glassmaker in operation since 1825—gracefully have no seam between the bowl and stem, since they are crafted from a single piece of dishwasher-safe soda glass. They also sport a thin, laser-cut rim for smooth sipping.

A great vibrator

Long-lasting couples know that intimacy and novelty both matter—and that’s where good adult toys come into play (literally and figuratively). While many vibrators are aesthetically clunky, to say the least, the minimalist Dame Aer—one of our favorite vibrator picks—has a sporty, sloping design, with a contemporary light purple hue. The suction vibrator features five intensity levels and five pattern modes, and it has a waterproof silicone design, so it’s easy to clean. It also charges quickly and holds that charge for a long time, making spontaneity and connection even easier.

Personalized bubbly

The Williams Sonoma Heart Mini Bottles are etched with two first names and a date; just type everything into the website form, and then the bottles are painted by hand in gold. Offered in packs of six, 12, or 24, each bottle contains 6.32 ounces—enough for a couple of flutes. These mini splits are just right for sharing a celebratory glass, with no commitment to a full bottle of bubbly. There are five options: Moët & Chandon (including a Rosé version), Chandon, and Freixenet Cordon Negro champagnes, as well as La Marca prosecco. When we received them, we were impressed by the bougie quality of the etching—deeply cut in thick glass, with hearts accenting the debossed names.

Delicate diamonds

Some people just want diamonds, plain and simple. And as diamonds go, the Mejuri Pavé Diamond Huggie Hoops are among the best-priced ones we’ve seen. Made with 14-karat yellow or white gold, each thin, glittery hoop features 11 teensy, 0.8-mm diamonds. These hoops are small enough to wear with jeans and a blouse on a Tuesday, yet they’re also glitzy enough to pair with a date-night dress. And the company offers great customer service. When editor Hannah Morrill realized one diamond had fallen out of hers, Mejuri repaired and replaced the diamond, no questions asked.

A sexy candle

There’s no reason to be shy: You enjoy getting busy with your partner. And since laughter is sexy and Nice Stuff’s Thanks for All the Orgasms Luxury Candle is funny, you can consider it an aphrodisiac. True, the packaging is really the point here, but the scents are great too. (If your beloved is particular about fragrance, our guide to scented candles might have something that’s a better fit.) We tested two of the five scents. The first, Relax & Unwind, was fresh, citrusy, and kind of currant-y (though that’s not listed in the description). And the moodily named Dark & Handsome smelled like the aftershave aisle, in a good way. All of the candles (made from a “nontoxic soy wax vegetable blend”) come in two sizes. The pricier, 12-ounce version is housed in opaque black glass, and it has a bamboo lid, to keep the candle fresh (and dust-free).

A bespoke bracelet

The engravable, understated Gldn Basquiat Bar Bracelet makes an elegant gift, especially if your partner’s personal style is more minimalist than flashy. You can select from several materials, based on your recipient’s preference or the anniversary year (14-karat gold fill, rose gold fill, sterling silver, or solid 14-karat gold). And there are two finish styles (hammered or smooth) and several wrist-circumference options. You can also get creative with the engraving—perhaps include the date of your wedding, your shared last name, or even an inside joke.

Flowers on the regular

Let’s be honest, flowers are nice, but they’re not exactly unexpected on an anniversary. What is unexpected? Fresh flowers each month. UrbanStems is our top pick for best flower-delivery service because its stylish arrangements were the freshest, most well packaged, and easiest to order of those we tested. For the subscription, just choose the frequency (from weekly to bimonthly) and the size (classic, seasonal, luxe), and your beloved will get fresh, seasonal bouquets delivered to their door (the first delivery includes a glass vase).

An old-fashioned slide show

Wedding photos! Vacation snaps! Pictures of your favorite foods! Rescue your best photos from the digital graveyard, and make your paramour a bespoke slideshow. Image 3D’s RetroViewer is less chintzy than those of yesteryear. Each viewfinder comes with an order code for one DIY reel, and it will still play your old reels, should you have any kicking around. It took our tester about 20 minutes to upload seven photos, edit as desired, and create her own reel. However, it took over two weeks for the reel to arrive, so build in some time if you want to give the reel and viewfinder together. Additional reels are currently about $17; start a tradition and present one at every anniversary.

Not just any chocolate

These chocolate bars are among our favorite gifts. And the company also offers Tony’s Chocolonely Custom Chocolate Bars, a design-your-own-wrapper option that elevates this chocolate from an already-great gift to a personalized slam dunk. The online process is easy: Choose a splashy background color, and then upload your own photos, or choose from Tony’s templates and stickers. Finish up by adding a loving message, and select one of a handful of playful fonts. You and your sweetie can feel good about the contents, too, since Tony’s Chocolonely sources cocoa only from ethically run farms, unlike many other chocolate companies (subscription required). One thing to keep in mind about this gift: Shipping is $10 for any order up to $85, so you may want to buy in bulk.

A sophisticated seat

A bidet may not seem like the most romantic gift idea, but consider how much time you and your partner spend in the bathroom. Also consider how much you love your partner’s butt. And then consider buying a bidet. The Toto Washlet C5 is the most impressive of those we tested. It’s easy to operate, and it has plenty of customizable features, such as a pulsating or oscillating stream, warm or cool water, and high or low pressure. This bidet will turn your bathroom into the most luxurious room in the house.

We love finding gifts that are unusual, thoughtful, and well vetted. See even more gift ideas we recommend.
